What You'll Do

Our team would define, design and verify ASIC and ASIC subsystems to be deployed in a range of Cisco platforms. Contribute to a multi-disciplined engineering team to meet the power, performance, and area goals for products. Design, document, and develop ASIC subsystems for release in high volume and quality. Help define the process, methods, and tools for design and implementation of complex developments

We also develop custom test solutions spanning high power, large dies, and network silicon to cost-sensitive products. 

You will partner with the ASIC Engineering team and OSATs to transfer the SLT test programs from the Cisco to the OSAT production environment.

Meanwhile, you are the first line of defense as the first responder in case of any production issues - hardware or software-related. You will be responsible for the prompt resolution of any test issues and drive OSATs to meet metrics for throughput, yield, cycle time, and uptime. 

Your role will not only ensure that the OSAT capacity ramp plans but also align with the Cisco product roadmap to manage/maintain the production test environment.

So you will closely work with the ASIC Test Development, Automation and Data Solutions team to perform statistical data/yield/correlation analysis to drive SLT optimization. 

Who You'll Work With

• Collaborate with Silicon design teams as well as several peer groups in Supply Chain & MFG Operations to influence Cisco Silicon One Productization Strategy.

• Drives the definition, architecture and design of high-performance ASICs

• Owns complex or multiple functional areas

• Develops reusable code for future projects

• Creates re-usable code • Debugs at ASIC, SW, HW level

• Works with ASIC and Apps, with limited external scope
