YEREVAN, July 18. /ARKA/. American company Cadence Design Systems has gained an engineering presence in Armenia after acquiring Ausdia Inc., a developer of chip design automation solutions, announced Deputy Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly and former Minister Hakob Arshakyan.
"Cadence's engineering presence in Armenia further strengthens our country's position in the global semiconductor industry," Arshakyan wrote on LinkedIn.
Ausdia's website indicates that its division, Ausdia Design Automation LLC, is located in Yerevan. The company also reports that it has become part of Cadence.
According to Arshakyan, several international companies in the semiconductor, electronic design, and information technology sectors have engineering divisions or large teams operating in Armenia, including Synopsys, Siemens EDA, NVIDIA, AMD, Microchip Technology, National Instruments, Broadcom, and Cisco.
He noted that local technology companies are simultaneously developing in the country, expanding engineering competencies and creating new opportunities for innovative entrepreneurship.

About Cadence's announcement
Cadence announced that Ausdia's TimeVision timing constraint management solution has been added to the company's portfolio as of April 16, 2026.
TimeVision is designed to automatically detect timing errors at various stages of integrated circuit design—from architecture description to final design verification.
Cadence plans to continue supporting TimeVision as a standalone product and also integrate it into the Tempus Timing suite of solutions. The company estimates that this integration will enable earlier error detection, reduce design verification time, and mitigate the risk of issues during chip manufacturing.
Cadence Design Systems develops software and hardware solutions for electronic system and semiconductor design. Ausdia specializes in development and timing verification technologies for system-on-chip designs.
