Summary
Jongho Kim is a Senior Staff Application Engineer based in Seoul with 10+ years building RTL-to-GDS digital full-flow solutions, low-power methodologies, and 2.5D/3DIC design flows for leading-edge nodes. He has led multi-disciplinary teams at Samsung and now integrates sensor IP and pre-silicon flow support for SoC/AI/automotive chips at proteanTecs, blending hands-on implementation with cloud-enabled EDA/HPC platform work. His expertise spans CPU reference flows (ARM and RISC-V), thermal and reliability-aware design, and near-threshold/ultra-low-voltage techniques, with practical experience in foundry ecosystem collaboration and cloud-friendly design methodologies. Holding advanced doctoral training and cross-institutional research ties, he combines deep academic grounding with pragmatic silicon delivery—often translating architecture-level power models into manufacturable flows. An understated strength is his track record of driving migration and ECO flows that bridge research prototypes to production at 5nm/4nm process nodes.
