Cisco SiliconOne ASIC team is looking for an expert in advanced silicon substrate design to help us develop our next generation silicon and platforms. The scope of package development is industry leading. You will be working on and driving the design of the world’s most complex networks powered by silicon that carries over 90% of IP traffic. You will develop advanced packages utilizing new materials. You will lead fanout design with advanced vendor technologies to support HBM and chip-chip interfaces. Build power connectivity structures for high power applications. It is critical to understand manufacturing design rules, Signal Integrity and Power Integrity requirements to minimize package iterations and create working designs for large substrates with high-speed applications.

Who You Will Work With

Cisco Silicon One is a business organization building and selling ASICs inside and outside of Cisco. We have a long track record of building Silicon ASICs for Cisco’s internal platforms. We are a specialized ASIC team with experts in all aspects of Silicon Design and system integration. Our substrates are using the latest fanout technologies for large scale integration. We are focused on all the latest signaling and data transfer technology including optical and advanced packaging. 

Who You Are

You will have package experience in substrate with knowledge of high speed serdes and modern high-speed interfaces. You will be a substrate design engineer working on the latest technologies and developing ASIC substrates that push the boundaries on power, integration, and fabrication / assembly technology. You will be an avid learner, eager to learn and process new technologies and rules, and excel in documenting and communicating critical information to the team. You will possess demonstrated communication, problem solving, interpersonal and presentation/documentation skills. 

Minimum Requirements

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!
