Bob Kunz is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "Bob was my Skip Manager during my time at Ambarella. I first met Bob at the Duke Career fair and then I joined as an intern and later transitioned into a full-time Software Architecture Engineer at Ambarella. As a Director, Bob actively cultivates a culture of respect within the team and always takes the initiative to offer support for the team members. It is easy for me to approach him at any time because he is very easy to talk to and is always open to communication. Despite his high-level position, Bob possesses a combination of technical expertise in software architecture and people skills. He continues to stay connected to the technology and maintains seamless communication with tech leads and engineers. This ensures that the management and technical teams could get easily aligned towards achieving common visions. Overall, I genuinely recommend Bob as a Director and a leader." and "During my time working on the marketing team at Ambarella, I often needed to consult with members of the engineering staff in order to better understand our products’ functionality on the most fundamental technical level. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to communicate effectively with external stakeholders. For one particularly challenging project, I needed someone on the engineering team to help me understand the architecture underlying the company’s first true computer vision SoC—an enormous departure from anything the organization had developed previously. It was arguably the most important chip in Ambarella’s history, which meant it was critical that I learn as much as I could (as a non-technical marketer) to ensure that I presented the product’s features and capabilities clearly and accurately. Bob agreed to help, not only because he always went above and beyond for colleagues in general, but also because it was clear that he was the best suited for the task—he combines uncommonly deep technical expertise with a refreshing ability to teach others with patience, humor, creativity, grace and humility. Just because someone knows something well doesn’t mean they can teach it to others, but Bob absolutely could. During the course of our collaborations—it took months for me to produce all the materials needed to support the product’s launch—Bob always made time to help, in spite of his existing workload (for him, this chip was in the past, already created, and he was by necessity “on to the next one,” while for me, the work of a marketer was just beginning). Bottom line, he cared enough about his colleagues and the product (his baby, in a sense) that he never stopped pouring effort into it, even after he could have justifiably moved on and left it behind. Throughout that project, and in all the time after that, I found Bob to be wildly gifted from an engineering standpoint but also generous, kind, patient, funny, approachable, hard-working and genuinely curious to learn more about his field—a field where he had already accumulated numerous proven successes and performed at levels most couldn’t. Based on my interactions, I would recommend Bob without reservation, and I appreciate all the time he spent helping me succeed in my role at Ambarella. "
