• Product development of NEXUS 5000 /6000/7000 support NXOS and XR Platform for Cisco Data Center. Successfully released 5K/6K/7K Switching systems to FCS. Specific products included:
• Nexus 6K N6K-C6002 providing 34x40GbE ports included fixed module which can be configured as Ethernet or FC. Nexus 5624 VXLAN providing 12x40G QSFP and 12Q GEM 12x40G ports.
• Skywarp –NCS5002 Innsbruck Switching /Routers based on the Broadcom Trident 2+ Metro switch ASIC support 80 x 10G SFP+ 4 x 100G QSFP28 Ports & 100G optical modules.
• Sup3 Supervisor card and Line card- modular -34x40G/ 4x100G ports for NEXUS 7000 systems.Responsibility included:
• Reviewed the designs with Cross functional team for new product developments. Tasks included identifying and optimizing initial design (DC power, PCB stackups, PCBA layout, Signal Integrity etc..) resulting in low BOM.
• Worked with Signal Integrity Engineer and Vendors in finalizing PCB stackups and material required for high speed signal designs (up to 24 layers). Drive the team effort to reduce PCB layer resulting in low cost design.
