Design and Verification Engineer

About the SiliconOne Team at Cisco

Join Cisco's SiliconOne team in Serbia, specializing in ASIC functional verification for Cisco Silicon One chips. These high-performance networking chips are crucial for major data centers globally. This role offers the opportunity to collaborate on functional verification using SystemVerilog/UVM and engage in various development stages, from architectural discussions to emulation and simulation support. You'll work with global teams, including design and block owners, chiplet and full-chip owners, and emulation, compiler, and software development teams. The team fosters a collaborative, transparent, and trust-based environment, blending experienced and energetic engineers.

Your Impact as a Design and Verification Engineer

• Implement DV infrastructure for block, cluster, and TOP-level environments.
• Maintain and enhance existing DV environments.
• Ensure complete verification coverage through implementation and review of code and functional coverage.
• Collaborate closely with architects and designers to guarantee verification completeness.
• Support tests performed with emulation.
• Engage in tasks to prepare for post-silicon validation.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or a relevant field.
• 5+ years of ASIC verification experience.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog/UVM.
• Familiarity with ASIC design and verification processes, methodology, and tools.
