Meet the Team
The Common Hardware Group (CHG) delivers the silicon, optics, and hardware platforms for Cisco's core Switching, Routing, and Wireless products. We design the networking hardware for Enterprises and Service Providers of various sizes, the Public Sector, and Non-Profit Organizations across the world. Cisco Silicon One (#CiscoSiliconOne) is the only unifying silicon architecture in the market that enables customers to deploy the best-of-breed silicon from Top of Rack (TOR) switches all the way through web scale data centers and across service provider, enterprise networks, and data centers with a fully unified routing and switching portfolio. Come join us and take part in shaping Cisco's ground-breaking solutions by designing, developing and testing some of the most complex ASICs being developed in the industry.
You will be in the Silicon One development organization as a senior DFT verification lead in Armenia. You will work with Front-end RTL teams, backend physical design teams to understand chip architecture and drive high-quality DFT verification.
Your Impact
- Responsible for thorough test planning and development of test benches to verify comprehensive Design-for-Test (DFT) architecture that supports ATE screening, in-system test, debug and diagnostics needs of the design
- Work closely with the design/design-verification and PD teams to enable the integration and validation of the test logic in all phases of the implementation and post silicon validation flows.
- Work with the team on Innovative Hardware DFT & test strategy aspects for new silicon device models, bare die & stacked die, driving re-usable test and debug methodologies and standards.
- Work with the team on DFT challenge identification, cross-functional solution brainstorming and implementation plan development, and lead junior engineers to deliver expected implementations on schedule.
-
The job requires the candidate to have the ability to craft solutions and debug with minimal mentorship.
- Bachelor's or Master’s Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering required with at least 10 years of experience.
- Prior experience in test planning based on complex design specification.
- Prior experience in testbench development using System Verilog.
- Debugging experience using DVE/Verdi.
-
Scripting skills: Tcl, Python/Perl.
- UVM and advanced System Verilog knowledge.
-
Knowledge about JTAG protocol, scan architecture, MBIST and boundary scan.

Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
