Cisco manufacturing/industrial engineer job description
What You'll Do
As a Manufacturing & Industrial Engineer New Graduate you will drive the long-range strategic planning process for operations by leading and running all of Cisco's manufacturing operations throughout the life cycle. You will define goals, improve technologies, and resolve problems in conjunction with managers of manufacturing, quality assurance, engineering, and sales. You will convert customer requirements into state-of-the-art manufacturing strategies and processes. You will also develop operations-related plans, budgets, policies and procedures and provide analysis of manufacturing data while looking for ways to improve quality, reliability, and cost.
Who You'll Work With
Come collaborate with a diverse group of peers on projects that have a real world impact as part of Cisco's Supply Chain Operations. From our processes to manufacturing you'll deliver an extraordinary customer experience of Cisco products and services. Take your creative ideas from the drawing board to deliver powerful solutions. You'll collaborate with multi-functional teams to determine our infrastructural needs and product specifications.
Who You Are
* Including but not limited to a graduate/upcoming graduate of a technical degree or certification program from a Technical Boot Camp, Apprenticeship, Community College or 4-Year University.
* Eligible to start July/August 2023
* You possess a proven understanding of manufacturing & industrial engineering fundamentals
* You are a results-driven individual with a strong attention to detail and creative problem solving skills
* You have experience in establishing and sustaining excellent relationships with the extended team.
* You possess excellent verbal and written skills
* Able to legally live and work in the country for which you're applying, without visa support or sponsorship
Why Cisco
#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.
We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we're "old" (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we're also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do - you can't put us in a box!
But "Digital Transformation" is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)
Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.
So, you have colorful hair? Don't care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That's cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
