ASIC Design Engineer @ Cisco

Meet the Team

Join the Cisco Silicon One team in developing a unified silicon architecture for web-scale and service provider networks. Cisco's silicon team provides an outstanding, unique experience for ASIC engineers by combining the resources offered by a sizable multi-geography silicon organization and a large campus (with an on-site gym, healthcare, caf, social interest groups, and philanthropy) with the startup culture and breadth of growth opportunities that working in a smaller ASIC team can provide.

Your Impact

• Write micro-architecture specifications and participate in reviews.
• Implement Verilog RTL to meet timing, performance, and power requirements.
• Contribute to full chip integration and timing methodology/analysis.
• Develop and analyze functional coverage.
• Help define, evolve, and support our design methodology.
• Collaborate with the verification team to address design bugs and close code coverage.
• Work closely with the physical design team to close design timing and place-and-route issues.
• Triage, debug, and root cause simulation, software bring-up, and customer failures
• Perform diagnostic and post-silicon validation tests in the lab

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree / Master's Degreein Electrical or Computer Engineering with 7+ years of ASIC design.
• Prior experience working with Verilog or System Verilog programming skills
