Job description

Define, design and verify ASIC and ASIC subsystems to be deployed in a range of Cisco platforms. Contribute to a multi-disciplined engineering team to meet the power, performance, and area goals for products. Design, document, and develop ASIC subsystems for release in high volume and quality. Help define the process, methods, and tools for design and implementation of complex developments.

You will contribute to developing Cisco’s product solutions by crafting industry-leading sophisticated chips, with full exposure to all aspects of our systems and applications, including silicon, hardware, software, telemetry, and security.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Architect block, cluster and top-level DV environment infrastructure.
• Develop DV infrastructure from scratch.
• Maintain and improve existing DV environments.
• Develop test plans and tests for qualifying design at block, cluster and higher-level environments with mix of constraint random and advised stimulus.
• Ensure complete verification coverage through implementation and review of code and functional coverage.
• Ensure RTL quality with qualifying the design with Gate Level Simulations on netlist.
• Collaborate closely with designers, architects, and software teams to address and debug issues during post-silicon bring-up, ensuring seamless integration and efficient performance.
• Support testing of design in emulation.
• Lead all aspects of and manage the ASIC bring-up process.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree with 7+ years of relevant ASIC design verification experience.
• Masters Degree with 5+ years of relevant ASIC design verification experience.
• Proficient in ASIC verification using UVM/System Verilog.
• Proficient in verifying sophisticated blocks, clusters and top level for ASIC.
• Experience building test benches from scratch, hands on experience with System Verilog constraints, structures and classes.
• Scripting experience with Perl and/or Python.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Forwarding logic/Parsers/P4.
• Experience with Veloce/Palladium/Zebu/HAPS.
• Formal verification (iev/vc formal) knowledge.
• Demonstrated ability on one or more protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, RDMA, TCP).
