The Silicon One Productization team pioneers manufacturing and test solutions to accelerate time-to-market and enable outstanding supply chain metrics. We are looking for a Product Test Engineer to manage volume test operations at the OSATs to meet production targets. You will be working with advanced networking silicon, solving hardware and software problems in close partnership with Product Development Engineering and the OSATs.

 

What You'll Do

Our team develops test requirements for groundbreaking IP, to minimize test overhead both in design and for production. We develop custom test solutions spanning high power, large dies, and packages to cost-sensitive products. 

You will partner with the PDE and OSAT teams to transfer the ATE and SLT test programs from the Cisco lab to the production environment. You are Cisco's first line of defense and first responder in case of any production issues - hardware or software-related. You will be responsible for the prompt resolution of any test issues and drive OSATs to meet metrics for throughput, yield, cycle time, and uptime. 

Your role will be to ensure that the OSAT roadmap and capacity ramp plans align with the Cisco product ramp and manage/maintain the production test hardware. You will evaluate test vendors and make recommendations for alternate site bring-ups and complete the qualification activities. 

You will also provide Engineering support to the Manufacturing Operations team for quarterly planning, ship reviews, and ongoing production optimization. You will partner closely with the Data and Automation Solutions team to perform statistical data/yield/correlation analysis on large data sets to drive test and yield optimization. 

 

Who You'll Work With

We collaborate with ASIC design teams as well as several peer groups in Supply Chain Operations to influence Cisco Silicon One Productization Strategy.

 

Who You Are

  • MSEE (or higher) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
  • 7+ years working in ATE and SLT volume production test environments, preferably on high-end compute/networking devices.
  • Ability to debug, analyze, tackle, and root cause manufacturing yield issues and field escapes; Drive issues to closure with improvement, optimization, and preventive measures.
  • Experience with developing, diagnosing, and maintaining hardware. Ability to debug hardware using lab equipment 
  • Strong fundamentals in Design for Test and manufacturing concepts.
  • Strong background in yield data analytics and driving yield improvement. Experience with Statistical analysis and correlation. 
  • Experience using Advantest 93000 tester and SLT Hontech/Chroma handler will be a plus.
  • Clear, crisp communication skills. 
  • Ability to thrive in a multifaceted environment.

Why Cisco

WE ARE CISCO

#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 embrace 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. A blockchain 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 bold steps, and we take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication 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.

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.

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, plus a day off for their birthday.

We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back to the community. Employees are also able to purchase company stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Program.

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.
