October Talk: AI Agents for Semiconductor Engineering: A Practical Guide (HYBRID)
Abstract
How useful is AI, really? Can it be trusted to help design SoCs, where small oversights can be catastrophic?
This presentation goes beyond speculation; offering a practical guide for building AI agents that solve real-world problems and support technical teams. It’s an introduction to the emerging field of context engineering, where new and old skills are combined to create AI workflows that scale reliably.
The talk will break down key concepts, define the qualities of a good agent, and demonstrate how new hires and experienced professionals alike can benefit from the latest advances.
