Could you build this?

No Semiconductor design coordination requires deep domain expertise in ASIC/FPGA workflows, EDA toolchains (Cadence, Synopsys), and silicon verification cycles that vibe coding cannot replicate.

What it would actually take: Architecture involves integrating with proprietary EDA tool APIs, Perforce/Git design repositories, and compute cluster resource schedulers (LSF/Slurm). The hard part is modeling complex hardware design dependency graphs, PDK constraints, and timing/power closure metrics, requiring senior ASIC engineers and EDA systems specialists.
