Silicon Engineering Technical Lead

Join a team at Cisco that integrates new silicon architecture, supports new product development to volume production, performs manufacturing test validation, and system deployment for next-generation high-speed networking products.

As a Silicon Engineering Technical Lead, you will conduct root-cause analysis from system-level failures down to silicon behavior. You will develop silicon validation and characterization of functional coverage, performance, stress, corner-case, and interoperability testing. Your role involves establishing silicon performance margins and operating limits, and correlating silicon characterization data with system-level behavior.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct root-cause analysis from system-level failures down to silicon behavior
• Develop silicon validation and characterization of functional coverage, performance, stress, corner-case, and interoperability testing
• Establish silicon performance margins and operating limits
• Correlate silicon characterization data with system-level behavior
• Support manufacturing failure analysis and containment of silicon
• Influence coverage through ATE, wafer-level, and package-level testing

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• 5 years of experience in silicon engineering, ASIC validation, or a related technical domain
• Experience with silicon architecture and performance characterization
• Knowledge of signal integrity and high-speed SerDes
• Experience conducting root-cause analysis from system-level failures to silicon behavior
• Experience with Design for Testability (DFT), scan, MBIST, LBIST, boundary scan/JTAG, and production test methodologies

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Experience with automated test equipment (ATE), wafer-level testing, and package-level testing
• Experience correlating silicon characterization data with system-level behavior
• Experience early silicon bring up characterization
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams including ASIC, optics, hardware, firmware, and manufacturing
• Excellent communication skills to work with stakeholders

Benefits:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution
• Paid parental leave
• Short and long-term disability coverage
• Basic life insurance
• Paid time away (10 paid holidays, 1 floating holiday, 1 paid day off for employee's birthday, paid year-end holiday shutdown, and 4 paid days off for personal wellness)
• Optional 10 paid days per full calendar year to volunteer

Salary Range: $171,600.00 - $245,000.00
