Join the PHY system team , a pivotal part of silicon development. Our team focuses on the PHY and system aspects of our devices, including PHY firmware, calibrations, system definitions, operations, and post-silicon validation.

Key responsibilities include:

Working with the latest silicon technologies and processes to build large-scale, complex devices at the forefront of feasibility.
Contributing to the development of PHY firmware and system calibrations.
Participating in system definitions, operations, and post-silicon validation activities.

What Youll Do:

Youll be part of the group driving next-generation network devices within a startup-like atmosphere inside a well-established, leading corporation.

Our unique design center integrates all silicon hardware and software development disciplines under one roof. We are revolutionizing the industry by building a new internet for the 5G era, with a unified, programmable silicon architecture that will underpin future routing products. Our devices are designed for adaptability across service providers and web-scale markets, delivering high speed without compromising programmability, buffering, power efficiency, scale, or feature flexibility.

Our devices are designed for adaptability across service providers and web-scale markets, delivering high speed without compromising programmability, buffering, power efficiency, scale, or feature flexibility.

We push the boundaries of technology, developing innovative DFT solutions that drive industry-leading programmability, scalability, and performance. Our team operates in a hybrid model, with three days a week in the office in Midtown Tel Aviv or Caesarea, fostering collaboration and technical excellence in a startup-like atmosphere within a stable, global corporation.

Your Impact

As an Experienced DFT Engineer, you will:

Own and drive DFT execution across the full product lifecycle, from pre-silicon design through post-silicon debug and production qualification.

Define and align DFT architecture and strategy in close collaboration with chip architects, design, and verification teams.

Oversee and contribute hands-on to the implementation of DFT features, including ATPG, scan insertion and compression, and memory BIST.

Lead silicon debug activities and root-cause analysis, driving corrective actions to improve yield, reliability, and test quality.

Establish, standardize, and evolve DFT methodologies and best practices across projects.

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.

The ideal candidate is friendly, social, easygoing, with a good sense of humor, and has the ability to learn independently. They should be located in central\north Israel (Tel-Aviv\Caesarea). Strong independent work skills and job stability are important.



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.

You'll be joining our Silicon One Signal & power Integrity team, which is at the center of the silicon development at Cisco. Our SIPI engineers deal with all system development aspects and deliver detailed specifications to other development team. As SIPI engineer youll be required to design and analyze high speed analog/digital signals for networking products, with emphasis on high speed signal and power analysis of ASIC, Package and PCB. Model/simulate/characterize high speed systems, including high speed I/Os, chip packages, printed circuit boards, and system interconnects. Overcome the challenges of ultra-high data rate and cutting-edge technology. We use the latest silicon technologies and processes to build largest scale and most complex devices at the edge of feasibility.

In this role, you will be part of the Silicon One Switch ASIC Post-Silicon Electrical Validation (EPSV) team.
* Ensure the ASIC operates according to specifications and reliably over time by performing extensive, high-precision measurements using advanced test equipment and procedures.
* Conduct deep-dive investigations, integrating knowledge across hardware, software, and system domains to identify root causes of observed device behavior.

* Handle all chip validation aspects, including:
* Building validation plans.
* Deloping ASIC software test infrastructure.
* Writing tests in Python/C++ over device SDK.
* Executing tests and analyzing results.

We are transforming the industry and building a new internet for the 5G era, providing a unified, programmable silicon architecture that is the foundation of all Cisco's future routing products.

Our design center is unique - hosting all silicon HW and SW development disciplines inside one site.

Our devices are designed to be universally adaptable across service providers and web-scale markets, designed for fixed and modular platforms. Our devices deliver high speed without sacrificing programmability, buffering, power efficiency, scale or feature flexibility.
