Description
You'll be joining the post silicon validation team in PHY system group at Cisco Silicon One group as part of the silicon development at Cisco.
Our team deals with PHY and system aspects of the SerDes communication IP: PHY FW, calibrations, system definitions and operations and post-silicon validation including developing the automation infrastructure and tools.
We use latest silicon technologies and processes to build the largest scale and most complex devices at the edge of feasibility.
Responsibilities
- Develop and validate PHY and system aspects of SerDes communication IP
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful product development
- Utilize scripting and programming skills in Python or C++ to automate testing and validation
- Work with lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, BERTs, and spectrum analyzers
Requirements
- B.Sc or M.Sc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
- Experience in PHY/SerDes validation (high-speed SerDes characterization, link stability, PVT corners) and/or other PHY layer of communication systems
- Proven ability in system-level debugging to isolate faults across HW/SW/Silicon
- Strong scripting/programming skills in Python or C++
- Practical experience with lab instrumentation: oscilloscopes, BERTs, spectrum analyzers
Preferred Qualifications
- Knowledge of signal processing / communication theory (DSP, modulation, link-layer communication)
- Linux proficiency, Git, and experience with Jenkins/DevOps automation frameworks
- GUI development experience and database familiarity
- Understanding of PCIe and Ethernet standards
- System orientation with a multi-disciplinary approach and strong multitasking capability
