Hardware Engineering Technical Leader - FPGA & System Design - Cisco
Milpitas, CA
About the Job
The application window is expected to close on September 26, 2024.
Who We Are
The Common Hardware Group (CHG) delivers the silicon, optics, and hardware platforms for Cisco’s core Switching, Routing, and Wireless products. Our products account for approximately ¾ of Cisco’s product revenue. We design the networking hardware for Enterprises and Service Providers of various sizes, the Public Sector, and Non-Profit Organizations across the world.
What You’ll Do
You will work on cutting edge, next generation routers powering AI buildout. You will be responsible for taking networking system requirements, mapping them into functional blocks for FPGA implementation, working with the cross functional teams to address development requirements, participate in validation of the system, and release to manufacturing. You will partner with the Software team to make sure the Software/Hardware system operates properly. In addition, you’ll work with architects on product design and definition and mentor junior engineers.
Who You’ll Work With
You will work in the High-End Routing team that designs the ASR8000 routers as part of the FPGA team designing control path FPGAs for the various boards. You will collaborate with Diagnostics, Software, Board design, Manufacturing and Hardware qualification teams to ensure smooth delivery of the project.
Who You Are
You are an experienced FPGA designer able to write RTL code, run simulations, address timing and other constraints, then generate programming files. You can work with many teams to resolve system level issues. In addition, you have good analytical skills and can deal with the complexity of System Hardware and Software interactions. You have a grasp of the system design for a router or line card and are also able to lead meetings, drive issues to resolution, and communicate clearly with all stakeholders.
Minimum requirements:
* Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or relevant degree and 8+ years of related experience.
* FPGA development expertise from specification to production.
* Experience using Verilog/System Verilog RTL coding.
* Experience with industry leading FPGA devices and tools.
Preferred requirements:
* Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or relevant degree and 6+ years of related experience.
* Experience with UVM and/or VMM Verification methodology.
* Experience with advanced microprocessor-based design.
* Experience with networking card development from definition to production, i.e. cards with CPU & NPU.
* Low level networking card debug experience.
* Experience with CPU based peripherals architecture.
This is an onsite role and will require working out of the San Jose office location at least 4 days/week.
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 travelling 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 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 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
