Meet the Team

Join Cisco's engineering team as an Electrical Product Engineer, where you'll collaborate with hardware, mechanical, software design teams, manufacturing teams, and cross-functional partners. Together, we ensure that products meet cost, quality, and delivery requirements while driving innovation. Be part of a team that delivers world-class solutions and creates a meaningful impact.

Your Impact

As an Electrical Product Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring product manufacturability and supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) and sustaining engineering efforts. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Design Review: Analyze and review product design and architecture from Design for Manufacturing (DFM), component technology, and End of Life (EOL) perspectives.
  • NPI Support: Provide technical support for prototypes during NPI to ensure cost and quality targets are achieved.
  • Sustaining Engineering: Manage change management activities and drive quality improvements for both factory and field performance metrics.
  • Value Engineering: Lead activities to enhance cost margins through component selection, process efficiency, and design changes.
  • Supply Chain Support: Ensure supply chain continuity and resiliency by addressing potential risks and gaps.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of Electronic Product Design and architecture.
  • Knowledge of hardware interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, SATA, I2C, and high-speed serial interfaces.
  • Proficiency in PCB design, stack-ups, and Allegro; knowledge of Valor and DFM is a plus.
  • Understanding of PCBA Manufacturing, system build processes, and NPI workflows.
  • Experience with product development processes from concept to launch phase.
  • Proficiency in DFx principles including DFM, DFR, DFSC, and DFT.
  • Hands-on experience in test automation using scripting languages like Python.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with network routers and switches.
  • Experience with manufacturing test solutions, test fixture development, ICT, and BSCAN.
  • Knowledge of hardware and system testing, component-level debugging, and fault isolation.
  • Strong understanding of FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) and Design FMEA methodologies.

Responsibilities

  • Perform new product and sustaining engineering activities.
  • Develop and execute end-to-end manufacturing test strategies.
  • Conduct Design for Testability (DFT) assessments and create mitigation plans to ensure maximum test coverage.
  • Develop and implement test automation scripts and processes.
  • Create and manage BOM structuring and address BOM risks.
  • Drive cost avoidance strategies (pre-A0) and sustain cost reduction initiatives.
  • Collaborate with design teams to define and deploy optimized test solutions, including Ethernet interface testing (10G/100G/200G/400G/800G) using Traffic Test Analyzers (e.g., Spirent/IXIA).
  • Lead debugging processes for test engineers at remote manufacturing sites.
  • Plan, define, and manage test capacity and budgets.
  • Stay updated on industry innovations to incorporate new trends and technologies into the product lifecycle.

Who You Are

  • A self-driven team player who thrives in a collaborative environment.
  • A continuous learner willing to take on new challenges.
  • Flexible to work across time zones to meet global business needs.

Who You'll Work With

You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including hardware/software design engineering, supply chain teams, and manufacturing operations teams, to develop and deploy manufacturing tests that meet the highest quality and efficiency standards.

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

Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada:

When available, the salary range posted for this position reflects the projected hiring range for new hire, full-time salaries in U.S. and/or Canada locations, not including equity or benefits. For non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. or Canada hiring location. The recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process.

U.S. employees have access to quality medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and numerous wellbeing offerings.

Employees receive up to twelve paid holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday (for non-exempt employees), plus a day off for their birthday. Non-Exempt new hires accrue up to 16 days of vacation time off each year, at a rate of 4.92 hours per pay period. Exempt new hires participate in Cisco’s flexible Vacation Time Off policy, which does not place a defined limit on how much vacation time eligible employees may use, but is subject to availability and some business limitations. All new hires are eligible for Sick Time Off subject to Cisco’s Sick Time Off Policy and will have eighty (80) hours of sick time off provided on their hire date and on January 1st of each year thereafter.  Up to 80 hours of unused sick time will be carried forward from one calendar year to the next such that the maximum number of sick time hours an employee may have available is 160 hours. Employees in Illinois have a unique time off program designed specifically with local requirements in mind. All employees also have access to paid time away to deal with critical or emergency issues. We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back to the community.

Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco typically pays as follows:

.75% of incentive target for each 1% of revenue attainment up to 50% of quota;

1.5% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 50% and 75%;

1% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 75% and 100%; and once performance exceeds 100% attainment, incentive rates are at or above 1% for each 1% of attainment with no cap on incentive compensation.

For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
