**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.

**Specific responsibilities include:**

+ Support layout development and physical implementation of analog, mixed-signal circuits, high-speed interfaces (including SerDes and PAM4), and supporting digital blocks

+ Participate in block-level ...
