Electronic systems design innovation
Transform the landscape of hi-tech product development by providing engineers with a platform for virtual experimentation and optimization. By simulating diverse design configurations and scenarios, engineers iterate rapidly, explore innovative concepts and expand the horizons of possibility.
What is electronic systems design?
Electronics system design is the process of developing complex electronic products by integrating mechanical, electronic, electrical and software components. Manufacturers face mounting pressure to deliver complex products on tight schedules. This streamlines the process, managing the entire lifecycle from concept to manufacturing for faster innovation. But how can companies navigate this effectively?

Elevate multi-domain design
Take an integrated approach to electromechanical engineering. Improve design, performance and reliability of industrial or consumer electronics, while reducing costs and time to market. Explore our three key paths to achieve these goals and enhance your electromechanical engineering processes:
Adopting a comprehensive approach that combines faster design processes through integrated multi-domain collaboration, goal alignment across all disciplines, early supplier involvement enabled by digital data exchange, efficient electronics configuration via 3D modeling tools and effective management of the unified bill of materials (BOM), companies can streamline their time-to-market and overcome supply chain challenges, ultimately gaining a competitive edge in today's fast-paced market. A comprehensive approach can help you:
- Easily configure electronics through 3D design tools modeling electronic components in a virtual 3D environment.
- Effectively manage unified BOM data across mechanical, electrical and software domains through an integrated digital platform.
- Tackle supply chain issues by involving suppliers early with digital design data exchange, accelerating time-to-market.
Adopting a comprehensive "shift left" approach that combines early simulation and verification processes, goal alignment across the design cycle, cross-team collaboration from the start, efficient multi-board electronics configuration and effective management of the digital prototype BOM. You can streamline your time-to-market and overcome design challenges, ultimately gaining a competitive edge in today's fast-paced market. The key benefits of digital prototype-driven verification include:
- Validate multi-board system connections through early schematic analysis using intelligent component models, eliminating manual reviews and enabling co-optimization across board domains.
- Effectively manage digital prototype BOM data in an integrated environment with automated change synchronization across domains.
- Identify and resolve potential issues upfront by shifting verification left, accelerating design cycles and streamlining time-to-market.
Ensure successful, zero-spin designs for a final product with reliable and consistent field performance, establishing a robust foundation for high product quality and customer satisfaction. Some benefits of this approach include:
- Streamline multi-board validation through intelligent modeling and automated schematic analysis early in the process.
- Manage BOM data in a unified digital environment with automated cross-domain change synchronization.
- Accelerate cycles by identifying and resolving issues upfront through comprehensive early verification.
