  • Prior experience with Jtag protocols, Scan and BIST architectures, including memory BIST and boundary scan.
  • Prior experience in hardware design specifications and verification plan/matrix, RTL & testbench implementations.
  • Prior experience on DFT quality sign off checklist and reviews for chip tape out, including test coverage, STA.
  • Prior experience with pre-silicon DFT implementation and verification flows, and post-silicon test bring up procedures.
  • Prior experience with verification skills including, System Verilog Logic Equivalency checking and validating the Test-timing of the design
  • Prior experience in Post-silicon validation and debug experience; Ability to work with ATE patterns, P1687; Ability to analyze and root cause test failures on ATE
  • Scripting skills: Tcl, Python/Perl.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Prior experience with DFT CAD development – Test Architecture, Methodology and Infrastructure
  • Prior experience with Post silicon validation using DFT patterns.

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
