Introduction
In just 10–15 minutes per episode, host Harry Foster sits down with leading innovators, engineers, and researchers to talk about what’s shaping the future of verification — from AI-driven tools to design-for-test, coverage closure, reliability, and more. Expect candid conversations, practical insights, and a few “war stories” from the trenches of debug.
Whether you’re a verification engineer, a design lead, or simply curious about how we “get the bugs out” of the chips that power our world, BUGGED OUT delivers focused, informative conversations designed to fit your busy schedule.

Episode 2: Jake Wiltgen
Harry Foster talks with Jacob Wiltgen, Director of IC Verification Solutions at Siemens EDA, about insights from his white paper Accelerating DFT Sign-off with Questa One. They explore why Design-for-Test is more critical than ever, how DFT sign-off bottlenecks can be relieved, and what mega-trends like scaling, reliability, and in-system test mean for the future of verification.
