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.
- Ability to motivate team members, promote technical growth, and manage priorities in a dynamic environment.
- Strong attention to detail and system-level understanding of networking and silicon solutions.
