Build and productionize LLM and agent-based AI solutions for supply chain operations. Partner with product and engineering to design scalable RAG/agent systems, deploy on cloud and container platforms, ensure security/compliance, and create reusable frameworks to accelerate AI adoption across teams.

Placeholder posting for potential future Software Engineer (Test) roles at Cisco. Candidates may be contacted when relevant positions open. No specific responsibilities, technologies, or qualifications are listed.

Lead firmware and platform software for next-generation data-center switches: design and develop BIOS/UEFI/bootloaders, Linux device drivers, low-level hardware interfaces and SDKs for network ASICs; collaborate with hardware, product, and customer teams; perform deep hardware/software debugging and feature ownership across platform components.

Drive revenue growth for Splunk Commercial accounts by generating pipeline, managing full sales cycle, meeting license/support/service targets, and building executive relationships. Collaborate cross-functionally to design enterprise solutions, forecast territory performance, and continually improve customer experience and market share.

Drive backend ASIC physical implementation from RTL to GDS for advanced-node, large-scale networking chips. Responsibilities include hierarchical floorplanning, P&R, timing closure, STA setup, power integrity, CTS, physical verification, equivalence checks, ECO flows, and die size/performance optimization while collaborating with RTL, DFT, EDA vendors, and cross-functional teams.

Lead architecture and development of production AI/ML solutions for supply chain problems. Build and deploy LLM-powered apps, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and predictive models. Provide technical leadership, mentorship, experimental rigor, and cross-functional delivery while ensuring model governance, interpretability, and business impact.

Design, develop and execute automated tests and benchmarks for web-scale networking products. Build test environments, enhance frameworks (PyTest/Python), validate system/solution performance, troubleshoot customer issues, and contribute to open-source projects like SONiC.

Validate next-generation Catalyst 9000 switching platforms by designing and automating tests across Layer 2/3, security, performance, interoperability, and upgrade scenarios. Build scalable Python-based automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and AI-assisted workflows. Troubleshoot protocol-level issues using packet analyzers and test gear, drive quality metrics, mentor peers, and partner with developers and field teams to ensure release readiness and customer issue resolution.

Design and optimize SRAM/TCAM macro layouts, ensure DRC/LVS/ERC signoff, collaborate with circuit/verification/physical design teams, promote layout best practices, mentor junior engineers and support first-pass silicon success.

Design, build, test, and maintain software following secure coding and UX-focused principles. Lead features end-to-end, debug production issues, write technical and user documentation, mentor engineers, conduct code reviews, threat modeling, and improve engineering processes.

Design, build, and operate highly available hybrid-cloud NoSQL and relational database platforms (Cassandra, Neo4J, MS-SQL). Improve reliability, scalability, monitoring, alerting, automation, and operational practices; troubleshoot incidents, implement resilience improvements, and collaborate with engineering and service assurance teams. Use automation and AI tools to maintain production SLOs.

Design, develop, and maintain scalable cloud data pipelines and platforms (ETL/streaming) using Snowflake, Informatica/DBT and Kafka. Lead POCs, enable AI-driven analytics, ensure data quality/governance, support portals, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver reliable data models and consumption layers.

Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and integrations for cloud and on-prem databases. Ensure data availability, quality, and observability; participate in SDLC, collaborate cross-functionally, and support automation and real-time/streaming use cases.

Lead design-for-manufacturability and new-product-introduction for electrical products: collaborate with hardware, test, quality, and supply chain; drive DFM/DFR/DQ, BOM management, FMEA, lab debug/DOE, component qualification, board bring-up, and cost/value engineering to deliver production-ready, high-quality products.

Lead cross-functional initiatives to assess and improve product lifecycle management (PLM), NPI, sustaining, and supply chain processes. Define future-state PLM strategies, analyze data to identify improvements, mitigate risks, drive change management, and facilitate design-thinking sessions to align stakeholders and deliver scalable operational improvements.

Lead a team of global process owners to define and standardize product lifecycle and supply chain processes, establish governance and controls, drive data-driven improvements and cross-functional collaboration, and deliver operational excellence across NPI, sustaining, and end-to-end supply chain activities.

Manages product development projects from concept to release for small-to-mid sized efforts (1–3 scrum teams). Defines and executes project plans, schedules, budgets, resources, and deliverables; monitors progress, risks, and issues; coordinates cross-functional teams; escalates complex problems to stakeholders; drives process improvements and coaches team members. Requires technical background and working knowledge of agile practices.

Lead Ciscos multi-year global alliance strategy with major semiconductor partners. Drive cross-functional, cross-geography initiatives for hardware integration and GTM, influence senior leaders, manage complex programs, provide executive-level technical and market insight on silicon and compute architectures to shape Ciscos strategic decisions.

Manage incident response for major strategic accounts, coordinate cross-functional teams and customer communications, lead root-cause analyses, monitor and close service alerts/cases, and drive process improvements to enhance customer experience and team efficiency.
