Problem

Among memory semiconductor engineers (Samsung, SK hynix), those looking to transition into AI chip roles (HBM, GPU design) — approximately 3,000-5,000 per year — cannot accurately identify the skill gaps needed for the career switch, wasting 3-6 months on inefficient interview preparation. Headhunter consultations lack technical depth, and networking with current professionals is difficult to arrange.

Solution

Engineers input their current skills (process, design, testing, etc.) and receive automatic skill gap analysis across major AI chip positions (HBM design, GPU verification, AI accelerator architecture). Provides gap-closing learning roadmaps (online courses, papers, open-source projects), mock interview questions, and resume keyword optimization.

Target: Memory semiconductor engineers with 3-10 years of experience (ages 25-40, semiconductor industry)
Revenue Model: Free skill gap analysis. Custom learning roadmap + mock interviews at ~$29/mo (~39,000 KRW). Resume review at ~$14 (~19,000 KRW) per transaction.
Ecosystem Role: Education
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
