What You'll Do
You will collaborate on the creation of our functional safety strategy as well as set the tone for our functional safety culture. You will actively participate in systems engineering at our Austin site and mentor other in-house embedded software engineers, while owning the team's compliance with functional safety standards. You will shepherd products through safety compliance testing. Your efforts will enable the team to ship the next-generation Cisco DC microgrid technologies by ensuring their compliance with applicable functional safety standards. Most importantly, your innovations will directly impact the Common Hardware Group's contribution to Cisco's NetZero goals by developing core technologies that will get re-used throughout Cisco's portfolio.
Who You'll Work With
You'll be working with a dedicated team that has delivered groundbreaking products such as Catalyst 9200 and 9300 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Ethernet Switches and Catalyst 9300 StackPower. This team includes both hardware and embedded developers who have helped Cisco ship millions of units worldwide to connect and power networks. You will have guidance from the field via sales and marketing to help tailor your designs. You will also work with our award-winning supply chain and manufacturing teams to ensure a smooth product launch.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Power over Ethernet (PoE) or similar remote powering systems
- Experience with systems reliant on wireline networking communications technologies such as IEEE 802.3 Ethernet or related technologies like Power Line Communications (PLC)
- Experience with AC and DC building-scale powering technologies and their related safety subsystems, (i.e. Circuit Breakers, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI), Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI), etc.)
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. Were the Internets optimists. Our technology makes sure the data travelling at light speed across connections does so securely, yet its not what we make but what we make happen which marks us out. Were 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. Were helping businesses of all shapes and size 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 others 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 were 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? Dont care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? Thats cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us! #WeAreCisco

Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S.:
When available, the salary range posted for this position reflects the projected hiring range for new hire, full-time salaries in U.S. locations, not including equity or benefits. For non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. hiring location. The recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process.
U.S. employees have access to quality medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and numerous wellbeing offerings. Employees receive up to twelve paid holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday, plus a day off for their birthday. Employees accrue up to 20 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) each year and have access to paid time away to deal with critical or emergency issues without tapping into their PTO. We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back to the community. Employees are also able to purchase company stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Program.
Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco pays at the standard rate of 1% of incentive target for each 1% revenue attainment against the quota up to 100%. Once performance exceeds 100% quota attainment, incentive rates may increase up to five times the standard rate with no cap on incentive compensation. For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
