Bio
Tuan-Lung Wang
I directly reported to Cho Moon for 3 years as a Senior R&D Engineer at Synopsys. I joined his team as a new grad without any EDA background and he put in great effort to help me grow my technical capabilities and soft skills. Cho is a great manager who cares about his team members' career growth and he coached me to rapidly increase my scope and impact at Synopsys. Cho has deep technical background in EDA and he has excellent communication skills which made him remarkable at discovering customer's true demand behind the requests and leading the team to solve challenging problems. I enjoyed working in Cho's team and I highly recommend him as a phenomenal R&D Manager.
Ramesh Dewangan
Cho is one of the most diligent and focused R&D leaders I have worked with. He was very sharp to pick new concepts, design and build new features, and deliver as committed. His attention to detail was exemplary. He was able to identify the dependencies very well and work with all involved groups effectively to build and deliver products. The best part of his work was his customer focus. He worked with early adopter customers closely and built an excellent rapport that helped not only understand their requirements better but also get quality feedback on the early versions of the features. I would love to work with Cho any time I get an opportunity.
