In this episode, we talk with Guru Prasad Rao, Distinguished Engineer at Cadence Design Systems, one of the worldโs leading Electronic Design Automation (EDA) companies. Over a career spanning three decades, Guru has shaped the tools and technologies that power modern electronics from the earliest chip design systems to todayโs AI-driven era.
In this episode, hereโs what we dive into:
๐ก What it means to be a Distinguished Engineer โ and why failing fast matters in innovation
๐ก How EDA software became the invisible backbone of modern chip design
๐ก Lessons from Bell Labs, Motorola, and Cadence that shaped three decades of technology
๐ก How semiconductors, packaging, and AI are redefining the boundaries of design
๐ก The mindset shifts behind leadership, mentorship, and long-term impact in engineering
โ
Guruโs journey spans Bell Labs, Motorola, and Cadence Design Systems, where he has led architecture, scalability, and software innovation at the heart of the semiconductor revolution. His work bridges decades of transformation โ from drafting boards to billions of transistors โ and continues to shape how the world designs the electronics of tomorrow.
