Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Kimelman is an IP architecture and design expert with nearly four decades of hands-on experience building and architecting hardware and software for embedded, security, and automotive systems. Currently at NXP, he designs IP for math and AI/ML inference acceleration and MIPI I3C connectivity, frequently working with RISC-V while maintaining deep Cortex‑M expertise. His background spans MCU architecture at TI, defining Cortex‑M3-era architectures for ARM, and founding early tool and debugger products—demonstrating both product vision and low-level engineering chops. Equally comfortable leading teams or rolling up his sleeves, he blends system-level architecture, ASIC/PCB design, firmware, and web technologies with market and customer-driven strategy. Based in Alamo, CA, he has a long track record of turning research-grade ideas into production IP, and a recurring focus on MCU security and connected microcontroller ecosystems.
