What You’ll Do

Our team develops system-level test requirements across both NPI (New Product Introduction) and high-volume production. We design and deliver custom test solutions spanning high-power devices, large dies, networking silicon, and cost-sensitive products.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with PDE and OSAT teams to transfer SLT test programs from Cisco’s development environment into OSAT production.

• Act as the first responder for production issues—both hardware- and software-related—ensuring prompt analysis and resolution.

• Drive OSAT performance to meet throughput, yield, cycle time, and equipment uptime metrics.

• Ensure that OSAT capacity ramps align with the Cisco product roadmap and support a stable and scalable production test environment.

• Collaborate with Product Test, Automation, and Data Solutions teams to conduct statistical analysis, yield correlation, and large-scale data analytics to optimize test coverage and yield.

Who You’ll Work With

You will work closely with:

• Silicon Design teams

• Supply Chain & Manufacturing Operations partners

• Cross-functional engineering teams supporting Cisco Silicon One Productization

Together, we influence and drive Cisco’s silicon manufacturing and productization strategy.
