ASIC Egineer - DFT

The Common Hardware Group (CHG) delivers the silicon, optics, and hardware platforms for Cisco's core Switching, Routing, and Wireless products. We design the networking hardware for Enterprises and Service Providers of various sizes, the Public Sector, and Non-Profit Organizations across the world. Cisco Silicon One (#CiscoSiliconOne) is the only unifying silicon architecture in the market that enables customers to deploy the best-of-breed silicon from Top of Rack (TOR) switches all the way through web scale data centers and across service provider, enterprise networks, and data centers with a fully unified routing and switching portfolio. Come join us and take part in shaping Cisco's ground-breaking solutions by designing, developing and testing some of the most complex ASICs being developed in the industry.

Your Impact

• Work with the team on Verilog RTL and scripted flow implementation of the specified Hardware Design-for-Test (DFT) features that support ATE, in-system test, debug and diagnostics needs of the design.
• Work with the team on Verilog testbench implementation of the specified verification tests for DFT features and use case.
• Work with the team on automation scripts intended for robustness of implementation quality and improvement of efficiency.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or a Master’s Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering required with at least 2+ years of experience.
• Knowledge of the latest innovative trends in DFT, test and silicon engineering.
• Background with Jtag protocols, Scan and BIST architectures, including memory BIST and boundary scan.
• Background with ATPG and EDA tools like TestMax, Tetramax, Tessent tool sets, PrimeTime
• Verification skills include, System Verilog Logic Equivalency checking and validating the Test-timing of the design

Preferred Qualifications:

• VLSI circuit physical behaviors in silicon (electrical migration, temperature/voltage variation effects).
• Basic timing concepts, including setup and hold, metastability.
• Some EDA tools usage experience
• Strong verbal communication skills and ability to thrive in a dynamic environment
• Scripting/coding language: Tcl, Python, Perl, or c/c++.

Why Cisco?

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all. We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re "old" (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company.

We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do - you can’t put us in a box! But "Digital Transformation" is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it).

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart.

Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward. So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
