Kwanho Kim
Software EngineerC++ device software & integration
C++ engineer building device software for semiconductor inspection equipment at KLA, after robot-vision integration at Pickit 3D and V2X prototyping at Bosch. Focus: serial device control, fault recovery, and logging that makes field failures diagnosable.
Experience
KLA
C++ Engineer- Designing and implementing fault recovery for the equipment’s lift mechanism in C++ (in progress)
- Exposed the camera’s device-reported white-balance settings in the operator UI.
- Refactored serial device control and logging into a shared equipment layer.
Pickit 3D
Research & Software Engineer- Traced a field communication failure to a port conflict, fixed it and documented recurrence checks.
- Built a timezone-aware log download and conversion workflow with a multilingual UI for triage.
- Built a reusable Python WebSocket client with reconnect, backoff and message validation.
- Developed system and network configuration screens with input validation and safe defaults.
Bosch
V2X Communication Intern- Built a V2X demonstrator for safety-critical scenarios; validated end-to-end messaging in test runs.
- Integrated communication modules behind explicit data contracts between components.
- Built the operator interface for an eBike safety prototype in React.
