## Description

Join the Cisco Silicon One team and drive innovation at the heart of next-generation network devices,Cisco Silicon One™. Our unique team operates in a startup-like environment within a world-class corporation, pushing the boundaries of advanced silicon technologies.

You will lead, mentor, and develop a team of DFT engineers responsible for designing and implementing innovative DFT features ensuring high-quality, testable, and manufacturable silicon designs.

Key responsibilities:

- Drive the team through the full product lifecycle, from pre-silicon design, post-silicon debug, to production qualification.

- Collaborate with chip architects, design engineers, and verification teams to define, optimize, and standardize DFT strategies across multiple projects.

- Supervise implementation of ATPG, scan compression, memory BIST, and other advanced DFT techniques to improve test coverage and efficiency.

- Guide the debugging and root-cause analysis of silicon failures, leveraging team expertise to improve yield and reliability.

- Establish and continuously improve DFT methodologies and best practices, ensuring adoption across current and future designs.

- Foster a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and partnership within the DFT group.

- Provide regular feedback, career development support, and performance evaluations for team members.

- Represent the DFT team in cross-functional meetings and communicate key updates to management and stakeholders.

Requirements:

- BTech/Mtech. in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field with 10+ years of demonstrated experience.

- Proven hands-on experience with DFT features such as scan insertion, BIST, or boundary scan.

- Demonstrated experience leading and developing engineering teams, including mentoring, performance management, and project planning.

- Proficiency in the full product lifecycle, from pre-silicon design to silicon bring-up and production qualification.

Preferred qualifications:

- Experience with Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) methodologies and advanced DFT techniques.

- Strong ability to define, standardize, and implement DFT methodologies from design phase to high-volume production.

- Prior experience in leading complex technical projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

- Excellent interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills.
