ThalesHow Thales Runs Engineering Design on Virtuoso
Thales, an industrials organization in France, uses Virtuoso from Cadence to support engineering design for design engineers.
A Virtuoso rollout at Thales took engineering design out of inboxes and into a named queue.
“Industrials work at Thales spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in France.”
“Design engineers asked for a shared way to run engineering design without freezing local judgment.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Design engineers work from the same Virtuoso record for product design |
| Capability | Product design can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for product design |
Story
Industrials work at Thales spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in France. Product design was splitting across regional habits. Design engineers asked for a shared way to run engineering design without freezing local judgment.
Cadence (Virtuoso) is what they standardized on. Cadence Design Systems supplies computational software for integrated circuit, system, and PCB design used by electronics companies. Thales uses it as the system of record for product design, with design engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
