Please note this posting is to advertise potential job opportunities. This exact role may not be open today but could open in the near future. When you apply, a Cisco representative may contact you directly if a relevant position opens.

Who We Are

The Design for Test (DFT) team is part of the design group, which focuses on logic design, RTL development, and running verification tests. Their main role is to design test structures embedded within the chip to ensure proper functionality after manufacturing. The goal is to detect potential manufacturing defects with maximum efficiency and filter out faulty units before they reach the market.

What You'll Do

Work in a small, agile team with an intimate atmosphere that offers direct mentoring and broad professional growth. Insert DFT logic, perform synthesis, and run Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) to ensure hardware testability. Execute Gate Level Simulations, timing checks, and DRC checks to maintain rigorous design integrity and performance standards. Run regressions and perform deep-dive debugging on simulation failures as part of the core verification process.
