Job Summary:
Cisco Systems is seeking a dedicated and proactive System Quality & Manufacturing Test Engineer to champion quality-focused support for both new and sustaining products. The role emphasizes system engineering, cross-Design Validation Testing (xDVT), and advanced manufacturing test strategies to ensure exceptional product quality throughout the product lifecycle.
Responsibilities:
• Drive integrated quality and test practices across the PLM lifecycle (NPI to EOL), emphasizing system-level risk assessment, xDVT strategy, and DFX/DFM principles for next-gen hardware and manufacturing test processes.
• Lead early engagement initiatives with focus on critical component technology assessment, functional test strategy development, and system-level verification for high-quality product launches.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Supply Chain, Component Engineering, GSM, Hardware/System Engineering, Test Engineering) to influence technology selection, implement robust test and risk mitigation strategies, and ensure readiness for advanced technologies and manufacturing processes.
• Lead and resolve quality and test issues, ensuring closed-loop feedback, thorough root cause analysis, and continuous improvement within the PLM and test lifecycle.
• Advocate for quality and test enhancements, leveraging lessons learned from xDVT and field/factory feedback, and contribute to the development of dashboards and metrics for proactive risk management.
• Drive cost avoidance, support ongoing manufacturing quality improvement, and assess the impact of new component/technology introductions on test, manufacturability, and product reliability.
Qualifications:
Required:
• BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Minimum 5 years’ experience in System or Electrical Product Engineering, with a strong focus on hardware/system verification (xDVT), manufacturing test strategy, and process quality.
• Demonstrated experience in developing and executing system-level test plans (including xDVT), and functional test strategies for complex hardware, with exposure to root cause analysis and field failure diagnostics.
• Strong understanding of next-generation technology/components, PCB design and fabrication, and practical experience with manufacturing test equipment, test automation, and product health dashboards.
• Hands-on experience with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) or Design for Test (DFT), and test planning for high-complexity products.
Preferred:
• Leadership in resolving complex system-level test and quality issues.
• Experience with NPI and sustaining product test and validation processes.
• Proficiency with Valor, schematic/CAD/CAE tools, and test development environments.
• Demonstrated ability to manage and prioritize diverse responsibilities across engineering and manufacturing test domains.
• Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal skills with experience presenting technical findings and recommendations.
• Experience with component qualification, system risk profiling, and proactive test strategy for new technology adoption.
• Project management skills with a focus on test and quality improvement initiatives.
• Experience with Agile methodologies (SCRUM, KANBAN), especially in engineering or test environments.
• Familiarity with quality and risk management methodologies (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma, FMEA), with a track record of implementing improvements in test and manufacturing environments.
