Application window expected to close 9/3/2024Who We Are

The Silicon Operations team’s vision is to enable a world class Silicon Supply Chain Operations team to service Silicon component needs of Cisco’s core businesses as well as the emerging components business. We are an exciting team that works in a fast-paced, start-up type environment with a mission to scale Cisco's Silicon-One business.

Our team drives the post-silicon validation cycle to meet Product Quality and Time to Market Metrics. In a multi-function team, you will define test, characterization and qualification plans. This role is also responsible for production screening guard-band specifications based upon design intent and characterization results and transferring new tests and test programs into full manufacturing release by collaborating with suppliers and offshore manufacturing personnel.

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

Your role will also be to drive component failure analysis, containments, and root cause corrective actions and to work with development/manufacturing engineering and management representatives to resolve sophisticated technical problems. You will also be responsible for driving product qualification and burn in testing to JEDEC specs. You should have shown the ability to perform statistical data/yield/correlation analysis on large data sets from wafer sort to system final test to find yield issues and drive test and yield optimization.

What You'll Do

You will join the Quality and Reliability organization as ASIC Reliability Engineer and lead all aspects of product qualification including Failure analysis of complex ASIC products. This role will require high level of collaboration and interaction with Product Test Engineering, Design Engineering, Quality Engineering, Assembly Engineering and Foundry Engineering teams as vital. Must be able to work well within a team and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Should have experience completing IC Reliability Qualifications for NPI and advanced process and package technologies.

Own reliability test plans for new products, including sample testing and full qualification prior to volume production release.Perform reliability evaluation of IC products, packages, and process technology with focus on suitability to end applications and conformance to industry standards.Coordinate and conduct reliability testing, and Failure analysis for Silicon One ASICs in internal/external laboratories.Support HTOL, biased HAST and ESD/LU bring-up and debug for reliability qualification and evaluation.Lead failure analysis investigations using structured problem-solving methods to engage a multi-functional team to diagnose, resolve, and prevent future problems.Conduct Root cause analysis of reliability tests or field failures and propose corrective actions.Perform drift analysis and Analyze reliability results, device parameter trends and apply acceleration models to predict reliability in the field.Evaluate and perform reliability risk assessment.Work with design, foundry interface, package, test, and product engineers to qualify new processes and package technologies to ensure quality of design performance to meet customer reliability requirements.Issue internal and external product qualification and FA reports.Knowledge of JEDEC and other industry standard IC Qualification testsMinimum Requirements:Bachelor’s in electrical engineering or related field.7+ years’ experience in Semi IC Reliability engineering/ Failure Analysis with hands-on experience in 1 or more related areas such as Product Engineering, Test Engineering, Process/Assembly Engineering.5+ Experience with Semiconductor, manufacturing process, IC test methodologies, device reliability, silicon/package fail mechanisms and symptoms.5+ years' experience in Statistical data analysis, ATE test data interpretation, device level electrical characterization, and IC failure analysis.Preferred Requirements:Experience of FA techniques like Cross sectioning, X-ray, CSAM, TDR, FIB, SEM, and TEM is a plus.CRE/ASQ Certification would be a plus.MSEE (or higher) in Electrical Engineering.Why 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.
