Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter seeking information regarding full time engineering job opportunities
at Cisco. I am interested in Embedded/Firmware development jobs at Cisco. I believe there is
tremendous amount of work that is done on SOC development for networking at Cisco. I be-
lieve my profile best matches for the Cisco requirement for Embedded/Firmware development
and that I can deliver to the job requirement.
I graduated with a Master’s degree in electrical engineering from Arizona State University
with a 4.0 GPA. I have 2-years of outstanding industry experience with two IEEE papers and
two US patents in digital design.
I am currently working as an SOC/Embedded Design Engineer at one of the budding startups
which develops SOCs and FPGA IP cores for networking applications. My job responsibilities
requires driver development for the SOCs in RTOS, embedded Linux and PCI express develop-
ment for the SOCs. My job also includes RTL Coding, functional verification setup, Modelsim
function verification, Synthesis/Fitting to the Altera FPGAs, on-chip debugging through logic
analyzers. Please refer to the resume for more information.
I have been directly involved in developing the architecture of the high performance SOC
which offloads TCP/IP network protocol from the embedded/host CPU. I also lead a small
team of 5 in the startup company. I work closely with the manager and the team to coordinate
in designing and solving problems.
As a team player and team lead I have also learnt time management, working in groups,
handling responsibilities and making project schedules. In addition, I have further developed
my problem solving and analytical skills. With all the experience I have gained, I am confident
that I can play an important role in designing high performance SOCs at your company.
I request a personal interview to check if I have the required skill set for the Embedded/Firmware
positions. I am very flexible with respect to time and place of the interview. You can call me
anytime between 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM MST on any weekday or email me. My phone number
is 480 370 7429 and my email: vpapirla(at)asu.edu. Thank you very much for taking time to
consider my credentials. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Veera Papirla.
