In this role, you will contribute to the development of complex ASIC package designs from early planning and exploration through implementation and tapeout. You will collaborate across package design, layout, SI/PI, and silicon teams to help deliver high‑speed, robust, and manufacturable package solutions.

You will participate in package architecture activities, design tradeoff discussions, and technical problem solving while growing your expertise in advanced packaging technologies and system-level integration. This role provides an opportunity to work on some of the most advanced networking silicon products in the industry within a highly collaborative engineering environment.

Responsibilities:
As a member of the Package Design team, you will:

Lead the package design activities including planning, floorplanning, pinout optimization, stack‑up definition, and high‑speed routing support.

Collaborate with SI/PI, silicon floorplanning, layout, and manufacturing teams to ensure high‑quality package solutions.

Support package implementation activities and work closely with layout designers to ensure alignment between design intent and physical implementation.

Participate in technical investigations, design reviews, and tradeoff discussions involving performance, manufacturability, and schedule considerations.

Assist in developing and improving package design methodologies, flows, and best practices.

Contribute to debugging, issue resolution, and package bring‑up activities as needed.

Review micro-architecture specifications

Supervise verification team members and provide professional guidance

Implement Verification environment UVM based

Collaborate with Design engineers to resolve bugs and achieve coverage closure

Work with the firmware/Lab teams to verify chip flows

Perform debug, root-cause analysis, and post-silicon validation in the lab

We are looking for an experienced Design Verification engineer to join our DFT team and help establish and grow DFT DV activity in the Cisco SiliconOne DFT team. This role is relevant for engineers with experience in DV roles, either in DFT DV or in other verification domains, who are interested in becoming familiar with DFT design, verification methodologies, and the challenges of validating testability features in advanced silicon.

Your Impact
Lead and drive DFT verification activities within the Cisco SiliconOne DFT team.

Develop verification plans, environments, checkers, assertions, and coverage models for DFT features.

Verify DFT architecture and implementation in close collaboration with DFT, design, architecture, and verification teams.

Work on verification of scan, MBIST, IJTAG/JTAG, test access mechanisms, DFT controllers, and related SoC-level test features.

Debug complex pre-silicon issues across RTL, verification environments, and DFT logic.

Contribute to scalable methodologies, reusable verification components, and best practices for DFT DV.

Help bridge between general DV methodologies and DFT-specific design and verification needs.

In this role, you will be leading all aspects of verification and will have a critical impact on the company's R&D path.
