The Telepresence Infrastructure Media Products team, based in Langley, Berkshire, has become a specialist engineering centre for the design and implementation of the most technologically advanced video conferencing infrastructure solutions available in the market today.
Graduate Software Engineers:
Based on massively parallel processor architectures, the work spans FPGA programming, hardware-level programming, operating system implementation, DSP work (including multiprocessor media processing frameworks and codecs), protocol implementation and highly advanced control and management applications. A particular characteristic of Cisco is that we build the vast majority of our software in-house to obtain the performance and flexibility required. Working in a design centre of around 120 people the role will involve applying mathematical skills to media processing software development. The successful candidate will have a strong mathematical background, and programming experience. Since our software is deployed in embedded products, we are looking for candidates interested in using their mathematical expertise to write video and audio processing software.
Primary Responsibilities of a Graduate Software Engineer include:
• Involvement in the specification of new products and features
• Design/development of the products and features, working independently and as part of a wider team
• Both architectural/system design and detailed coding
• Working closely with the test and support teams to ensure and maintain the quality of the product
• Working with other groups (manufacturing/documentation etc) involved in shipping finished products
Skills Required:
• Strong written & verbal communication skills
• Ability to multi-task and solve complex problems
• Ability to self-motivate with a strong desire to learn and ability to be flexible
• Proven track record of learning new technologies and features on own initiative
• A demonstrable passion for technology and hardware/software development
• Excellent mathematical or scientific qualifications
• A flare for applying mathematics to problem solving
• A flare for applying mathematics to problem solving
Additional Skills of successful Graduate Software Engineers (not required):
• Knowledge of C/C++
• Knowledge of low-level system software and/or real time embedded software
• Exposure to digital hardware design, FPGAs and VHDL
• Exposure to video and audio encoding and processing techniques and technologies
• Understanding of assembly languages
• Exposure to cryptography
• Communications and networking protocols
• Exposure to cryptography
• Communications and networking protocols

• Assist the technical documentation group with content for the product documentation
• On occasion attend external test events to test products for conformance with relevant international specifications
• Work closely with other product teams around the world (particularly California and Norway)
• Help narrow down the exact cause of software bugs and provide repressible scenarios
• Design, develop and execute manual test cases as well as develop automated test suites
• Assist the technical documentation group with content for the product documentation
• On occasion attend external test events to test products for conformance with relevant international specifications
• Work closely with other product teams around the world (particularly California and Norway)
Professional Competemcies Required:
• Strong written & verbal communication, interpersonal, multitasking, and problem solving skills
