Meet the Team

The Common Hardware Group (CHG) delivers the silicon, optics, and hardware platforms for Cisco's core Switching, Routing, and Wireless products. We craft the networking hardware for Enterprises and Service Providers, 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 crafting, developing and testing some of the most sophisticated ASICs being developed in the industry. You will engage in dynamic collaboration with verification engineers, designers, and multi-functional teams, working together to ensure the successful verification of the ASIC throughout its lifecycle.

Your Impact

You will contribute to developing Cisco’s progressive data center solutions by crafting industry-leading sophisticated chips, with full exposure to all aspects of our systems and applications, including silicon, hardware, software, telemetry, and security. Specific responsibilities include:

Architect block, cluster and top-level DV environment infrastructure.Develop DV infrastructure from scratch.Maintain and improve existing DV environments.Develop test plans and tests for qualifying design at block, cluster and higher-level environments with mix of constraint random and advised stimulus.Ensure complete verification coverage through implementation and review of code and functional coverage.Ensure RTL quality with qualifying the design with Gate Level Simulations on netlist.Collaborate closely with designers, architects, and software teams to address and debug issues during post-silicon bring-up, ensuring seamless integration and efficient performance.Support testing of design in emulation.Lead all aspects of and manage the ASIC bring-up process.Minimum QualificationsBachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience in EE, CE, or other related field.7+ years of related ASIC design verification experience.Proficient in ASIC verification using UVM/System Verilog.Proficient in verifying sophisticated blocks, clusters and top level for ASIC.Experience building test benches from scratch, hands on experience with System Verilog constraints, structures and classes.Scripting experience with Perl and/or Python.Preferred QualificationsMaster’s Degree in EE or CE with 5+ years of relevant work experience.Experience with Forwarding logic/Parsers/P4.Experience with Veloce/Palladium/Zebu/HAPS.Formal verification (iev/vc formal) knowledge.Demonstrated ability on one or more protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, RDMA, TCP).

Why Cisco?

#WeAreCisco. We are all outstanding, but collectively we bring our talents to work as a team, to develop innovative technology and power a more inclusive, digital future for everyone. How do we do it? Well, for starters – with people like you!

Nearly every internet connection around the world touches Cisco. We’re the Internet’s optimists. Our technology makes sure the data travelling at light speed across connections does so securely, yet it’s not what we make but making it happen which marks us out. We’re helping those who work in the health service to connect with patients and each other; schools, colleges and universities to teach in even the most ambitious of times. We’re helping businesses of all shapes and size to connect with their employees and customers in new ways, providing people with access to the digital skills they need and connecting the most remote parts of the world – whether through 5G, or otherwise.

We tackle whatever challenges come our way. We have each other’s backs, we recognize our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate and support one another – from big and small things in life to big career moments. And giving back is in our hearts (we get 10 days off each year to do just that).

We know that powering an inclusive future starts with us. Because without diversity and a dedication to equality, there is no moving forward. Our 30 Inclusive Communities, that bring people together around commonalities or passions, are owning the way. Together we’re committed to learning, listening, caring for our communities, whilst supporting the most vulnerable with a collective effort to make this world a better place either with technology, or through our actions.

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! #WeAreCisco
