The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Cisco is hiring a Industrial Engineer in Schaumburg, IL.

• Role description

  The Industrial Engineer we hire will help scale our infrastructure from thousands to millions of concurrent users. What makes this Cisco role different is the ownership; the $82,000 - $120,000 and full-time hours are just the entry fee.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Cisco can explain
  • Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real Process Improvement on-call at Cisco
  • Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the Cisco stack
  • Re-architect the technology flow so Process Improvement handles ten times Schaumburg's current load
  • Map data flow across Cisco's Linux services and spot the leaks
  • Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
  • Stress-test Process Improvement systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked

  What You'll Bring

  • Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve
  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
  • The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
  • Working familiarity with full-time schedules and team norms at Cisco
  • Prior experience working on-site in Schaumburg, IL, or willingness to relocate
  • Demonstrated Linux expertise in a fast-moving technology environment

  Everything Cisco ships starts as a wildly-collaborative argument in a Schaumburg conference room about how Linux should really work. People here care as much about how we work together as what we ship.

  Expect $82,000 - $120,000, yes, but also expect the kind of benefits and remote flexibility that make Mondays in Schaumburg feel lighter.

  Marked current today, the full-time opportunity at Cisco is accepting candidates.
