We are looking for a versatile and motivated Layout Engineer to join Cisco’s Silicon One Optics group an Engineering Team. In this role, you will support the physical implementation of high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits for next-generation 100G, 200G, and 400G per lambda optical interconnect solutions.
You will contribute to all phases of physical design—from concept through tapeout—primarily for block-level layouts while assisting with top-level integration. Working closely with circuit designers, packaging engineers, process teams, and product engineers, you will help develop robust, manufacturable layouts that meet performance, reliability, area, and schedule goals.
As a Layout Engineer in the Client Optics Group (COG) Engineering Team, you will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including analog/mixed-signal circuit designers, digital designers, verification engineers, package engineers, process technologists, CAD specialists, reliability experts, and post-silicon validation teams.
You will partner with architects and designers during concept and planning phases, chip in to layout execution during design, work with signoff teams prior to tapeout, and support debug efforts post-silicon when layout-related issues arise. This role is a great opportunity to grow while helping deliver high-speed electrical IPs such as SerDes, PAM4 interfaces, D2D PHY, clocking subsystems, and control logic.
