Meet the Team

At Cisco's Common Hardware Group (CHG), our Signal & Power Integrity (SI/PI) team is where physics meets innovation. We design and analyze the high-speed interconnects and power distribution networks that fuel Cisco's next-generation Switch, Router, and AI/ML platforms.

We're looking for a Technical Lead, Signal & Power Integrity who's passionate about solving complex challenges across ASIC, package, PCB, and system levels, and who thrives at the intersection of deep technical problem-solving and hands-on mentorship.

This role offers a chance to shape leading-edge networking and compute systems while working alongside some of the most talented engineers in the industry-system architects, ASIC designers, packaging experts, and fellow SI/PI specialists-driving ideas from simulation all the way to product launch.

Your Impact

Model and simulate high-speed links, including SerDes, IC package, and system interconnects

Analyze and model power delivery networks and perform EM modeling of complex 3D structures

Lead pre- and post-layout signal integrity analysis for both PCB and package designs

Define stack-up strategy, PCB materials, and collaborate with vendors on DFM and manufacturability

Write SI/PI design guidelines, test plans, and validation reports

Support prototype bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting in the lab

Partner closely with HW design, Mechanical, Power, EMC, and Diagnostics teams to deliver world-class hardware

Mentor and guide junior SI/PI engineers, fostering a culture of learning and technical excellence

Drive continuous improvement of simulation flows, design processes, and methodologies

Lead system-level investigations spanning ASIC, package, and board domains

Contribute to our SI/PI technology roadmap-evaluating emerging tools, methods, and design paradigms

Minimum Qualifications

12+ years of relevant experience with a BSEE, or 10+ years with a MSEE (advanced degrees a plus)

Strong fundamentals in electromagnetics, coupling mechanisms, and transmission line theory

Hands-on experience with VNA, TDR, and high-bandwidth oscilloscope measurements

Practical experience in circuit and system-level signal and power integrity simulation

Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and drive technically complex programs

Preferred Qualifications

Deep expertise with tools such as HFSS, ADS, Allegro, PowerSI/DC, MATLAB, Simbeor, and HSpice

Familiarity with NRZ and PAM4 SerDes, high-speed PCB and package layout, and power integrity optimization

Creative and analytical mindset with strong communication and leadership skills

Experience defining or driving innovation in SI/PI methodologies and design flows

Knowledge of optical transceiver modules, form factors, and co-packaged optics is a bonus
