Meet the Team
The Common Hardware Group (CHG) delivers the silicon, optics, and hardware platforms for Cisco's core Switching, Routing, and Wireless products. With ~2,100 employees across 16 countries, 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. Join us and take part in shaping Cisco's revolutionary solutions by designing, developing and testing some of the most complex ASICs being developed in the industry.
You will work with front-end RTL Design and Verification teams and Architects to understand chip architecture and drive design verification requirements. You’ll work with SDK and Software teams as part of ASIC development to create a flawless handshake between hardware and software functionalities and qualify use-case requirements. You’ll also have the opportunity to work with systems-testing teams during post-silicon validation efforts to bring-up, debug and qualify the ASIC in deployment-mode applications.
Your Impact
You will participate in the ASIC design verification for Cisco high-end switching Products, one of the largest and most sophisticated of its kind in the industry. You will use the microarchitecture and define the verification plan and be responsible for the entire verification process.
You will develop the verification environment, including creating and executing test plans, and perform any necessary debugging. You will take part in the development of simulation models, test plan, code or functional coverage, multi-chip/system simulation, and performance analysis.
Minimum Qualifications:
- BSEE/CS combined with 4+ years of related experience.
- 4+ Years post graduate hands on experience with System Verilog / UVM programming
- 4+ Years post graduate ASIC Verification processes, methodologies, flows and tools

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.
