Meet the Team

Join Cisco's Product Operations Team, an integral part of Supply Chain Operations (SCO), responsible for New Product Introduction (NPI) and Product Lifecycle Management from the manufacturing and supply chain perspective. Our team collaborates closely with design engineering teams at early stages of product development to ensure smooth product launches and continued support until End of Life (EOL).

Your Impact

As a Test Development Engineer, you will play a critical role in maintaining product quality, optimizing test processes, and ensuring cost-effective manufacturing testing for Cisco's networking products and routers. Your responsibilities include:

  • Defining the Manufacturing Test Strategy and driving its execution.
  • Conducting Design for Testability (DFT) assessments and test coverage analysis to identify risks and mitigation plans.
  • Collaborating with product design teams (Hardware, Software, and Development Test) to ensure seamless integration.
  • Developing automated manufacturing test scripts and implementing test automation for efficiency.
  • Conducting failure root cause analysis to improve product reliability and quality.
  • Supporting proto builds and mass production at remote manufacturing sites.
  • Managing test capacity, equipment, and budgets to meet business objectives.
  • Developing and deploying board and system-level functional tests for complex electronic systems.
  • Using tools such as Traffic Test Analyzers (Spirent/IXIA) to test Ethernet Interfaces (10G/100G/200G/400G/800G).
  • Planning and delivering test processes on schedule while ensuring the highest standards of quality.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics & Communication Engineering or equivalent.
  • 8+ years of relevant experience in product test and validation.
  • Strong knowledge of Ethernet technologies (10G/100G/200G/400G/800G) and hardware protocols (e.g., I2C, SPI, PCI, PCIe).
  • Expertise in Manufacturing Test Solutions, including Test Fixture Development, ICT, and BSCAN.
  • Solid understanding of hardware and system testing with skills in component-level debugging and fault isolation.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python for test automation.
  • Experience in Design for Testability (DFT) for both structural and functional testing.
  • Knowledge of network routers and switches (preferred).
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Knowledge of product hardware development processes, from concept to End of Life (EOL).
  • Proven ability to develop test solutions for hardware validation and manufacturing.
  • Familiarity with test equipment and traffic analyzers for Ethernet interface testing.
  • Ability to lead debugging processes for remote test engineers.

Who You Are

  • A self-driven team player who collaborates effectively.
  • A continuous learner, adaptable to new challenges and technologies.
  • Flexible to work across various time zones to meet business needs.

Who You'll Work With

You will work closely with cross-functional teams including product design engineering (Hardware and Software), supply chain teams, and manufacturing operations teams to define and implement manufacturing tests that meet the highest quality and efficiency standards.
