Who we are
At Cisco, Product Operations plays a pivotal role in our end-to-end supply chain—transforming engineering innovation into scalable, high-quality, cost-efficient products. We optimize cost, quality, and delivery to exceed customer expectations and deliver world-class experiences.
What you will do
As a Manufacturing Test Development Engineer, you will define and implement test strategies that ensure product quality, streamline manufacturing, and support rapid deployment.
Your key responsibilities
- Define Test Strategy: Partner with hardware design teams on Design for Testability (DFT) assessments and coverage analysis.
- Build Automation: Develop and deploy test scripts and frameworks for automated manufacturing tests and regression.
- Support the Product Lifecycle: Lead prototype builds, perform failure analysis, and guide transition to mass production.
- Plan Capacity & Budget: Manage test infrastructure requirements, schedule deployments, and control costs.
- Deliver Functional Tests: Design and execute system- and board-level tests, including traffic solutions (Spirent/IXIA) for Ethernet interfaces (10G–800G).
- Guide Remote Teams: Mentor remote colleagues in debugging, problem-solving, and product validation using diagnostic tools and IOS software.
What you bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, or Communication Engineering
- 10+ years’ experience in product test and validation
- Strong grasp of the hardware development lifecycle (concept through end-of-life)
- Deep expertise in Ethernet technologies (10G–800G) and protocols (I2C, SPI, PCI, PCIe)
- Proficiency in test automation with Python
- Experience with structural and functional DFT, board/system-level testing, debug, and fault isolation
- Hands-on knowledge of manufacturing test solutions (fixture design, ICT, boundary scan)
- Prior exposure to networking hardware (routers/switches) is a plus
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Flexibility to collaborate across global time zones
Who you’ll work with
You’ll collaborate closely with Cisco’s hardware and software product design teams, supply chain, and manufacturing operations to build and maintain best-in-class test infrastructure.
Why Cisco
#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.
We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security 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, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and 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. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
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.
