Background

About Kang Junghoon

I lead end-to-end development of automotive electronics across Systems, Hardware, Functional Safety, and Cybersecurity, driving delivery from concept to production. I also lead and manage software development execution through cross-functional collaboration—ensuring requirements, architecture, validation, and issue resolution are aligned.With 18+ years in automotive electronics and 15+ years of embedded system experience across multiple OEMs, my strength is translating customer needs and safety/security risks into actionable engineering outcomes: clear requirements, HW/SW allocation, technical reviews, verification strategies, and disciplined change/issue management.Core expertise:Systems Engineering: OEM requirement analysis, internal specification/workflow definition, HW/SW requirement allocation, change control (ECR), design reviews, and validation alignmentHardware Engineering (Hands-on): MCU/sensor-based system design, circuit & PCB design, DFMEA/worst-case analysis, and EMC/manufacturing readiness support. Built Cell Monitoring Unit hardware design understanding through RFQ activities, including architecture definition, analog front-end considerations, sensing accuracy/noise, isolation strategy, diagnostics coverage, and validation implications.Functional Safety (ISO 26262): Safety lifecycle leadership including Item Definition, HARA, FSC/TSC, safety plan/case support, and safety analyses (FMEA/FMEDA/FTA). Assessment Certificate by TUV RheinlandCertified: ISO 26262 AFSP (SGS-TÜV) and Functional Safety Expert Certificate (TÜV SÜD)Cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434): Security lifecycle leadership including TARA, security requirements integration, and cross-functional implementation coordination (e.g, secure boot/authenticated diagnostics/secure key management)I’m passionate about building structured engineering processes (ISO26262 / ASPICE / V-model) and mentoring teams to deliver reliable, compliant, production-ready automotive systems.
