Cisco

Meet the Team

We are part of the Hardware Platform Group, with our team specializing in FPGA verification. Our work spans both sophisticated data-path and challenging control-path FPGAs. The verification process includes crafting the DV architecture, test plan, and coverage plan, all the way through to final DV sign-off. We leverage industry-standard tools for simulation, linting, coverage, and assertions, incorporating various quality metrics to ensure a robust process. Our ultimate goal is to deliver bug-free RTL for first-pass success on the board. Additionally, we collaborate closely with our remote teams based in SJC and Vimercate.

Your Impact

• Lead and mentor a team of verification engineers, driving the development of robust test benches, coverage plans, and constrained random tests.
• Ensure high-quality and reliable FPGA/ASIC designs through sophisticated verification techniques and comprehensive debugging.
• Contribute to the adoption and evolution of ground breaking verification methodologies like UVM/VMM, improving team efficiency and performance.
• Partner with architects, logic designers, and software engineers to align on architecture, micro-architecture, and system-level requirements.
• Play a pivotal role in delivering next-generation, high-performance FPGA and ASIC products for Cisco’s networking solutions.
• Ensure product reliability and performance, strengthening Cisco’s reputation and customer trust in its hardware solutions.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree / Master's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 7+ years of experience in design verification.
• Proficiency in OOPs, Verilog & System Verilog.
• Confirmed verification skills : FPGA, planning, problem solving, debug, adversarial testing and random testing
• Project based work experience with UVM/VMM methodologies.
• You will have experience with architecting the testplan & test bench.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands on experience with Ethernet based protocols, PCIe, AXI, memory controllers, OTN etc. will be an added advantage.
• Familiarity with VCS simulation flow, knowledge of coverage & assertions is desirable.

#WeAreCisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference. Here’s how we do it.

We adopt digital and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (30 years strong!) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. An AI/Machine Learning company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns, and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!. But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, we give our egos a break, and we give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, we take ambitious steps, and we take the difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a commitment to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool.
