Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will be responsible for mapping networking system requirements into functional blocks for FPGA implementation and participating in system validation. You will also collaborate with cross-functional teams including diagnostics, software, and hardware qualification to ensure successful project delivery.
Candidates must hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a relevant field with 4 to 7+ years of experience. Proficiency in Verilog/System Verilog RTL coding and experience with FPGA/ASIC development from specification to production are required.
Job posting may be removed earlier if the position is filled or if a sufficient number of applications are received.
This is an onsite role and will require working out of the Milpitas office location at least 4 days/week.
The Common Hardware Group (CHG) delivers the silicon, optics, and hardware platforms for Cisco’s core Switching, Routing, and Wireless products. We design the networking hardware for Enterprises and Service Providers of various sizes, the Public Sector, and Non-Profit Organizations across the world.
