About the Job

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
At least 10 years of hands-on semiconductor automated test equipment (ATE) test development experience with complex systems-on-chip (SoCs) or application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
At least 3 years of technical leadership or engineering management experience.
Deep knowledge of silicon bring-up, design-for-test (DFT) and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) architectures, including scan/automatic test pattern generation (ATPG), memory built-in self-test (MBIST), boundary scan, high-speed I/O testing, and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) production workflows.

Responsibilities

Lead semiconductor test and product development engineering and operational readiness for high-performance networking ASICs across wafer sort and final test.
Drive test program development and verification on automated test equipment (Advantest V93000 / SmarTest 7 and SmarTest 8) across digital, high-speed SerDes, and other intellectual property blocks.
Partner with OSAT manufacturing suppliers on tester capacity, load board and probe card readiness, yield optimization, and test time reduction.
Lead test readiness and execution across product qualification gates from pre-silicon tape-out through first silicon bring-up, characterization, qualification, and mass production.
Drive failure analysis, wafer sort and final-test yield pareto tracking, yield-to-target work, and reliability stress qualification, including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), electrostatic discharge (ESD), latch-up (LU), and thermal characterization.
Manage, mentor, and guide test and product engineers, and allocate resources to meet program milestones.

Role Summary:Lead semiconductor test and product development engineering and operational readiness for Cisco Silicon One high-performance networking ASICs across wafer sort and final test. Key Responsibilities: • Test Architecture & Development: Drive test program development and verification on automated test equipment (Advantest V93000 / SmarTest 7 & SmarTest 8) across digital, high-speed SerDes, and other IP blocks. • OSAT Management & Execution: Partner closely with OSAT manufacturing suppliers for tester capacity, load boards/probe cards readiness, yield optimization, and test time reduction (TTR). • Silicon Milestones & Bring-up: Lead test readiness and execution across product qualification gates from pre-silicon tape-out through first silicon bring-up, characterization, qualification and to mass production. • Yield & Reliability: Drive failure analysis, wafer sort/FT yield pareto tracking, yield to target, and reliability stress qualification (HTOL, ESD, LU, thermal characterization). • Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, and guide test and product engineers, resource allocation to hit program milestones. Qualifications: • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. • 10+ years of hands-on semiconductor ATE test development experience with complex SoC/ASICs. • 3+ years in technical leadership or engineering management. • Deep knowledge of silicon bing up, DFT/DFM architectures (Scan/ATPG, MBIST, Boundary Scan, high-speed I/O testing) and OSAT production workflows.<h1>Why Cisco? </h1>At Cisco, we’re revolutionizing how data and infrastructure connect and protect organizations in the AI era – and beyond.

About the Company

Cisco

Makes networking gear and security software

Cisco makes the switches and routers that connect offices, data centers, and cloud services, and it also sells cybersecurity tools and Webex video meetings to businesses and governments. It was one of the first companies to sell routers that let different kinds of computer networks exchange data, and in 2000 it briefly became the world's most valuable company. Customers run its network gear, from Wi-Fi access points to AI data center systems, with Cisco software that sets up and secures the network, while its Splunk unit searches computer logs to catch outages and attacks. Cisco earns money from hardware sales, software subscriptions, and support contracts. It was founded in 1984 and is based in San Jose, California.
