Meet the Team

Cisco Silicon One ASICs are transforming the Future of the Internet and the unified, power-efficient architecture is rapidly gaining traction in the market. The Silicon One Productization team takes enables technology, supplier readiness and takes these cutting-edge ASICs to production and we are looking for an experienced Reliability Engineer to join Quality and Reliability organization. Join an exciting team that works in a fast-paced, start-up type environment to establish robust processes to scale Cisco's Silicon Components business.

Your Impact

As a Product Reliability Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring our products meet the highest standards of quality and long-term performance. You will lead end-to-end product qualification efforts, applying your semiconductor engineering expertise to validate new designs, processes, and technologies. In this highly visible role, you’ll partner with teams across design, manufacturing, suppliers, and leadership—communicating clearly, navigating complex technical challenges, and driving informed decision-making. Your ability to analyze data, resolve issues, and influence stakeholders will directly strengthen product reliability and customer trust.

• Own and execute reliability test plans for new products, from sample testing through full qualification, including coordination with internal and external labs.

• Assess IC, package, and process reliability to industry standards, performing key evaluations such as HTOL, HAST, ESD/LU, and supporting detailed debug activities.

• Lead cross-functional failure analysis and structured problem-solving (8D, 5-Whys, cause-and-effect) to drive issue resolution and long-term prevention.

• Analyze reliability data, trends, and acceleration models to evaluate field readiness, identify risks, and support qualification of new processes and package technologies.

• Deliver clear qualification reports, collaborate closely with suppliers and engineering partners, and plan reliability resources to support both new product releases and ongoing monitoring programs.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

• 3+ years of experience in semiconductor product reliability, manufacturing/assembly, test processes, supply chain, and failure analysis.

• Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing, IC test methodologies, device reliability, and common silicon/package failure mechanisms.

• Hands-on experience with accelerated life testing, reliability estimation, and reliability testing of semiconductor components and modules.

• Proficiency in statistical data analysis, ATE data interpretation, electrical characterization, IC failure analysis, and cross-functional collaboration to analyze yield loss and device failures.
