Time Type: Full time

Job Description

Meet the Team

You will join the Cisco Silicon One group, part of Cisco's ground breaking silicon innovation organization. We are a unique design center in Caesarea where every field — from architecture and coding to physical board design — lives under one roof.

Our team combines deep engineering expertise with a collaborative, fast-paced culture. As our IT Lab Infrastructure Engineer, you will take full ownership of lab board preparation and delivery — ensuring hardware is ready and fully operational when engineers need it, and providing hands-on troubleshooting support throughout the board's lifecycle.

Your Impact

• Lead the physical and virtual lab infrastructure — from racking and stacking high-performance gear to cabling and day-to-day maintenance.
• Manage inventory of high-value R&D assets, keeping track of what's available and ensuring the lab runs smoothly.
• As the lab scales, write and maintain automation scripts in Python, Perl, or Bash to streamline board preparation, server provisioning, and tool deployments.
• Apply strong Linux expertise to troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure issues quickly and independently.
• Maintain security and IP protection standards while keeping the environment accessible and efficient for engineering teams.

This role is a great fit for someone who likes to own their domain — you'll have the space to set things up your way.

Minimum Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as an IT Lab Engineer, Operator or System Administrator.
• Experience with the physical side of IT—cabling, racking equipment, and managing high-performance hardware assets.
• Hands-on expertise in managing and troubleshooting Linux-based production systems.
• Proven ability to write scripts (Python/Bash/Perl) to automate lab tasks and interact with APIs.
• Understanding of networking (VLANs, DHCP, cabling) and storage maintenance.

Preferred Qualifications

• you Familiarity with semiconductor design tools (EDA) and the specific compute/infrastructure they require.
• Proactive Mentality: A track record of "building" solutions rather than just "taking tickets."
• Fluency in Hebrew and English for coordination with local teams and global vendors.
