Job Information
Cisco Hardware Engineer Student - Multiple positions in Caesarea, Israel
We are excited to announce that the Cisco Silicon One team is undergoing rapid growth, and we have opened multiple positions for Junior ASIC Engineers!
Location: Tel-Aviv or Caesarea, Israel
What You'll Do
You'll be joining Cisco Silicon One team, which is at the center of the silicon development at Cisco. Our engineers deal with all chip design aspects: definition, architecture, micro-architecture, design, verification, signoff and validation.
We use the latest silicon technologies and processes to build the largest scale and most complex devices at the edge of feasibility.
We are constantly offering several positions in the ASIC development field:
Design and verification under the front-end design team
Physical Design implementation team
Signal integrity (SI), Power integrity (PI) and Lab post silicon electrical characterization
Analog/Mixed Signal Design team
DFT (Design for testing) design team
Who You'll Work With
You'll be joining Cisco Silicon One Israeli team which is the core center of Cisco’s SW and ASIC design. You'll be part of the group driving our groundbreaking next-generation network devices - Cisco Silicon One. Our unique team works in a startup atmosphere inside a stable and leading corporate and develops the full software stack enabling the Silicon One ASICs. Join a team of dedicated engineers with a proven track-record at delivering breakthrough products. Our R&D center is outstanding - hosting all silicon HW and SW development teams inside one site. We are transforming the industry and building a new AI/ML Networks, as well as providing a unified, programmable silicon architecture that is the foundation of all Cisco's future routing products. Our devices are crafted to be universally adaptable across service providers and web-scale markets, designed for fixed and modular platforms. Our devices deliver high speed (50+ Terabits per second) without sacrificing programmability, buffering, power efficiency, scale or feature flexibility.
Who You Are
You are an ambitious and motivated individual, who enjoys big challenges and can quickly ramp on multiple domains.
Minimum Requirements:
B.Sc or M.Sc Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering Student from leading Israeli Universities.
Graduate in 2025-2026.
GPA above 85. (Please attach your grade sheet when applying to expedite the recruitment process).

More information about each option:
Design and Verification Team -Front- End Design team at Cisco Silicon One team. The team is leading the silicon development in Cisco. Our engineers deal with all chip design aspects: definition, architecture, micro architecture, design, verification, sign-off and validation. We use the latest silicon technologies and processes to build largest scale and most complex devices at the edge of feasibility.
Physical Design Implementation Team - Physical Design team at Cisco Silicon One team. The team is leading the silicon physical implementation in Cisco. Our team deals with all physical design aspects from RTL to GDS: Synthesis, Place & Route, sign-off and physical verification. We use the latest silicon technologies and processes to build largest scale and most complex devices at the edge of feasibility.
Signal integrity (SI), Power integrity (PI) and Lab post silicon electrical characterization - Lab post silicon electrical characterization - very high-speed interfaces characterization and compliance to spec; silicon electrical validation including power, speed, process, and packaging thermal; high usage with lab high speed / RF equipment and automation. Signal integrity (SI) and Power integrity (PI)- SI of very high-speed interfaces. Layout escape and routes geometries extractions, optimization and sign-off to the spec. Frequency and time domain analysis. PI of very power hungry and analog sensitive supplies, impedance profile extraction, time domain analysis of latest SI/PI tools and flows. Close relations with the IP/Packaging/PCB teams for max optimizations and tradeoffs. Package design from bump map and spec to full netlist and layout implementation. Large scale, multi die complex structures. Design signoff including high speed routes, LVS, LVL, IR drop etc’. Close relations with the IP/PD/PCB teams for max optimizations of the package design.
Analog/Mixed Signal Design Team -You will architect and design analog/mixed-signal circuits for a highly advanced high-speed IP on industry leading CMOS process nodes. The work content encompasses all design stages, from definition to final layout sign-off. You will join a small team of top industry analog and system professionals
DFT Engineer- As DFT engineer you will be involved in the chip entire life cycle: both pre silicon and post silicon, taking part in bringing our product with high quality to our customers. It will be a big plus if you have experience in working on the DFT area from the definition via the design and up to full production.
Why Cisco
#WeAreCisco. We are all unique, but collectively we bring our talents to work as a team, to develop innovative technology and power a more inclusive, digital future for everyone. How do we do it? Well, for starters - with people like you!
Nearly every internet connection around the world touches Cisco. We’re the Internet’s optimists. Our technology makes sure the data traveling at light speed across connections does so securely, yet it’s not what we make but what we make happen which marks us out. We’re helping those who work in the health service to connect with patients and each other; schools, colleges, and universities to teach in even the most challenging of times. We’re helping businesses of all shapes and sizes to connect with their employees and customers in new ways, providing people with access to the digital skills they need and connecting the most remote parts of the world - whether through 5G, or otherwise.
We tackle whatever challenges come our way. We have each other’s backs, we recognize our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate and support one another - from big and small things in life to big career moments. And giving back is in our DNA (we get 10 days off each year to do just that).
We know that powering an inclusive future starts with us. Because without diversity and a dedication to equality, there is no moving forward. Our 30 Inclusive Communities, that bring people together around commonalities or passions, are leading the way. Together we’re committed to learning, listening, caring for our communities, whilst supporting the most vulnerable with a collective effort to make this world a better place either with technology, or through our actions.
So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us! #WeAreCisco
