Improve network parsing, design advanced eBPF-based security mechanisms, contribute to OSS communities, perform code reviews, engage in architecture discussions, and produce technical documentation.

Provide high-level administrative support to the EVP of Legal, including calendar and meeting management, travel and expense coordination, event and speaking engagement preparation, confidential correspondence, special-project analysis, and mentoring other administrative staff.

Lead global physical design and CAD methodology for advanced ASIC/SoC projects. Define RTL-to-GDSII flows, EDA tool strategy, vendor partnerships, scripting automation, and multi-die/2.5D/3D methodologies while managing and growing a high-performing CAD team.

Lead RTL and digital design from micro-architecture through RTL, drive subsystem/SoC integration and verification, review and enhance RTL, improve IP/SoC flows and methodologies, debug complex verification failures with verification and physical design teams, mentor engineers and influence physical design strategies.

Design and implement advanced verification environments and testbenches using SystemVerilog/UVM. Execute pre-silicon and in-lab debug, collaborate with RTL, architecture, and physical design teams, and develop scripting and automation to improve verification methodology and productivity.

Design, develop, and verify RTL for ASIC subsystems/SoCs, focusing on DFT and integration. Collaborate with front-end, verification, and physical design teams to debug, review RTL, improve flows, and ensure silicon quality and performance.

Presales Splunk Solutions Engineer responsible for demonstrating Splunk products, delivering technical presentations and POCs, responding to RFPs/RFIs, performing discovery to map customer needs to Splunk solutions, handling technical questions, mitigating technical risks, collaborating across sales, marketing, and product teams, and traveling to customer and industry events.

Provide electrical product engineering for new and sustaining data center networking products from NPI to end-of-life. Responsibilities include DFM, BOM risk management, cost avoidance and reduction, design and manufacturing FMEA, board bring-up and debug, component qualification, yield improvement, cross-functional collaboration with hardware, mechanical, test, process and reliability teams, and running lab experiments/DOE to resolve complex issues.

Design and implement MBIST, BIST, scan/TAM infrastructures and test plans for complex ASIC/FPGA designs. Generate patterns, run fault coverage analysis, debug DFT/MBIST failures, automate flows with scripting and EDA tools, and collaborate across design, verification, ATE, and physical teams.

Provide Mandarin-language first-line remote support for Cisco employees on macOS and iOS. Troubleshoot upgrades, MDM enrollment, authentication, VPN, networking, peripherals, and applications; document cases, monitor issue trends, escalate to engineering, and participate in escalation/change programs.

Serve as the primary technical liaison to partners, assessing technical readiness, designing Cisco-based solutions and business cases, enabling partner training and POCs, coordinating sales and post-sales technical support, and driving partner technical strategy and readiness.

Develop and validate automated optical test systems for client transceivers, integrate and program instrumentation, create data acquisition and analysis tools, deploy and troubleshoot manufacturing tests, collaborate cross-functionally on test requirements and failure analysis, and drive continuous improvement of test coverage and processes.
