CEMWorks

CEMWorks Inc. is a Canadian deep-tech company specializing in physics-based electromagnetic (EM) simulation and virtual prototyping tools for electronic design automation (EDA). The company builds high-performance software that helps engineers model and validate complex electronic systems, including advanced semiconductor packaging, large antenna arrays, and emerging space and defence applications. Its flagship technology is a full-wave 3D electromagnetic solver designed to accelerate complex electronic designs, with the company claiming 10–100x faster simulation speed compared to leading tools in benchmark cases and near-linear scalability in both speed and memory usage as problem complexity grows. CEMWorks positions itself at the intersection of EDA and the AI era, addressing the growing limitations of traditional simulation approaches as designs scale across advanced packaging, high-frequency applications, and system-level integration. The company emphasizes technical rigor, accuracy, and real-world engineering needs, with core values centered on engineering-first development, speed as an enabler of innovation, scalable performance without compromising accuracy, clarity over complexity, and integrity in results. Founded and led by Dr. Jonatan Aronsson, who serves as CEO, CEMWorks is based in Manitoba, Canada, and works with collaborators in the scientific and industrial communities. The company has participated in international research initiatives such as the InnoStar project, hosted at Eindhoven University of Technology, where it showcased progress in mmWave technologies, advanced antennas, IC modules, and system-level electromagnetic simulation for next-generation 5G/6G and automotive radar applications. In 2026, Dr. Aronsson was named the winner of the DARE Research & Science Innovation Award, recognizing his leadership in advancing large-scale electromagnetic simulation technologies and the role of Manitoba's innovation ecosystem in enabling globally impactful deep-tech development.
