From Detection to Safety Figure 1

In the early 1980s, when computer-aided engineering (CAE), the precursor to modern electronic design automation (EDA), was just taking shape, my professional trajectory shifted in a way that would prove foundational. I joined Teradyne, the Boston-based leader in automated test equipment (ATE), and I encountered for the firstRead More
