Meet the Team

Cisco Silicon One leads Cisco’s ASIC design, creating next-generation network devices optimized for the AI/ML era. Our innovative silicon delivers high speed, programmability, power efficiency, and scalability for Open Standards, Open Networking, and cloud data centers. Join us to work with talented people and groundbreaking customers building world-class products.

Your Impact

In this role, you will lead complex, multi-functional programs that span silicon development, firmware, and system delivery — driving execution from initial concept through production. You’ll collaborate with diverse engineering teams, operations, and vendors to deliver high-quality solutions while shaping processes and ensuring strategic alignment across the organization. Specific Responsibilities include:

Lead multi-functional infrastructure and ASIC development projects from concept through production, coordinating efforts across Silicon Engineering, Platform, Software, Hardware Systems, Sourcing, Operations, and external vendors. Manage all phases of silicon and firmware development, including design, fabrication, validation, qualification, and production release, ensuring seamless execution and delivery. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align technical requirements, architectural constraints, and product management goals while driving high-quality system solutions. Identify and implement process improvements across teams and functions to enhance efficiency and delivery in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering or other technical field and an equivalent experience of 12+ years in the industry. Experience leading or managing ASIC development programs, with a demonstrated knowledge of the end-to-end silicon lifecycle. Experience driving complex, cross-functional projects that span multiple engineering disciplines, such as silicon, hardware systems, software, and operations. Strong program management skills, including milestone planning, risk management, dependency tracking, and delivery execution.

Preferred Qualifications:

Master’s degree in Computer Science and/or Electrical Engineering or other technical field. Prior experience in managing ASIC design flow (architecture, micro-architecture, RTL, Synthesis, functional verification, physical layout etc.) Experience in pre-silicon testing with Emulation, FPGA, and post-silicon validation.
