We are Siemens

Siemens Digital Industries Software is a leading provider of solutions for the design, simulation and manufacture of products across many different industries. Formula 1 cars, skyscrapers, ships, space exploration vehicles, and many of the objects we see and use in our daily lives are being conceived and manufactured using our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software.

The Siemens Sheffield office now forms a hub for user-centred design practice within Siemens Product Engineering Software. The customer experience team is a multi-disciplinary team formed of Product Designers and User Researchers.
