Technical Leader, Hardware Engineering

We are the Web scale and Service Provider (SP) Product Engineering team responsible for the delivering Cisco's best high-performance, provider class routers and switches, the Cisco 8000 series. We apply Cisco's ground-breaking Silicon One ASIC that delivers unmatched performance and density with feature-rich functionality. We are transforming the industry and building a new internet for AI networks and the 5G era, providing a unified, programmable silicon architecture that is the foundation of all Cisco's future routing and switching products.

As the Technical Leader you will provide new product and ongoing engineering (including DFM/DFA/DFC/DFFS) for a specific product or group of products from pre-concept commit through EOL. For new products, you will collaborate with design (hardware and mechanical), process, test, and reliability engineering to address problems and ensure cost avoidance and quality at FCS. For sustaining products, you will focus on cost reduction and design related yield improvements.

• He /she reviews, provides input for the design & architecture from DFM , Component technology used , EOL etc and influences the design team for optimum selection.
• During NPI's they should provide all technical support required for Proto builds and ensures cost, Quality and delivery targets are met.
• During sustenance, need to handle change management activities & also need to work towards meeting factory and field Quality metrics.
• Drives Value Engineering activities to improve the cost margins during the product life cycle.
• Provides Supply chain continuity & Resiliency support.

• BS and 12+ years of work experience as product or design engineer.
• Excellent understanding on Electronic product design and architecture.
• Knowledge of PCB design , Stack ups and Allegro .
• Knowledge of Valor and DFM is a Plus . Knowledge of PCBA Manufacturing, System Build and NPI process.

• Demonstrated ability to develop new processes and design rules for new components as needed.
• Good understanding of Hardware interfaces - High speed serial interfaces , PCIE , Ethernet , SATA , I2C etc.
• Design lab experimentation / debug (proficiency continuum) / DOE /EFA.
• Technical lifecycle management (defect reduction team participation, new component qualification, etc).
• Assessing CM and supply chain technical capability gaps.

Why Cisco?

#WeAreCisco. We are all unique, 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 traveling at light speed across connections does so securely, yet it's not what we make but what we make 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 challenging of times. We're helping businesses of all shapes and sizes 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 DNA (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 leading 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
