## Description

As a Senior Component Engineer within the Component Quality & Technology organization at Cisco, you will play a crucial role in maintaining the high reliability and performance standards of Cisco products.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

- Defining and implementing comprehensive qualification plans for passive, discrete, and logic components to ensure alignment with quality and reliability standards.

- Leading root cause analysis initiatives for technical issues, identifying failure mechanisms to provide lasting solutions.

- Managing supplier technology roadmaps to align with business needs and strengthen supply chain resiliency.

- Collaborating multi-functionally with business units and global suppliers to influence design decisions and proactively mitigate lifecycle risks.

- Applying advanced reliability modeling and rigorous validation techniques to uphold and elevate Cisco's established reliability benchmarks.

The Component Quality & Technology (CQT) team serves as the backbone of hardware excellence within Cisco’s Global Supply Chain, ensuring every component meets rigorous standards for performance.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

- A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field (Master's preferred).

- Strong understanding of passive, discrete, and logic components technologies and their applications.

- 6+ years of professional experience in capacitor, transistor, diodes, and resistor component engineering, quality, or reliability in the networking, server, and/or optical transceiver industries.

- Demonstrated experience in defining and implementing component-level reliability qualification programs, including accelerated stress testing (e.g., THB, HAST, TC, HTOL).

Preferred qualifications include:

- Outstanding ability to communicate complex technical concepts, risks, and trade-offs to diverse audiences.

- Practical experience leading global supplier technical engagements.

- Proficiency in reliability modeling, lifetime prediction, failure analysis techniques, and statistical data analysis.

- Solid understanding of application-level design, including derating methodologies and electrical stress analysis.

- Expertise in addressing component reliability challenges specific to high-density AI infrastructure and high-speed optical networking applications.

In terms of compensation, the starting salary range for this position is $130,300.00 to $164,800.00, reflecting the projected salary range for new hires in this position in U.S. and/or Canada locations.

Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability coverage, and basic life insurance.
