Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• We are looking for a talented and motivated Layout Engineer to join Cisco’s Client Optics Group (COG) Engineering Team. In this role, you will support the physical implementation of high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits for next-generation 100G, 200G, and 400G per lambda optical interconnect solutions.
• You will contribute to all phases of physical design—from concept through tapeout—primarily for block-level layouts while assisting with top-level integration. Working closely with circuit designers, packaging engineers, process teams, and product engineers, you will help develop robust, manufacturable layouts that meet performance, reliability, area, and schedule goals.

Who can apply

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field (Master’s preferred)
• 4-6 years of experience in custom IC layout for analog, mixed-signal, and high-speed designs
• Solid technical skills with an interest in growing into layout leadership; strong foundation in matching, symmetry, shielding, parasitic control, thermal management, and signal integrity
• Good knowledge of device-level layout techniques (common-centroid, interdigitation, guard rings, isolation structures)
• Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as Cadence Virtuoso and Calibre (or equivalent)
• Understanding of DRC, LVS, ERC, parasitic extraction, EM/IR analysis, and physical signoff flows
• Familiarity with ASIC/SoC tapeout processes is preferred
• Experience with scripting (Python, Perl, or TCL) for layout automation is a plus
• Comfortable working in Linux environments
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills
