About The Position
Cisco Silicon One develops complex, high-performance Silicon ASICs for networking, data centers, and service-provider and enterprise networks. The team specializes in advanced IC package design and heterogeneous system integration, including substrates using 2.5D fanout technologies. The Advanced Packaging Design Engineer contributes to complex ASIC package designs from early planning and exploration through implementation and tapeout. The role works across package design, layout, signal integrity/power integrity (SI/PI), silicon, and manufacturing teams to help deliver high-speed, robust, and manufacturable package solutions. The engineer participates in package architecture, design tradeoffs, technical problem solving, and system-level integration, and progressively takes ownership of larger design scopes. This position requires living within commuting distance of Cisco’s San Jose, California office and commuting there four to five days per week.
