Job Title: Technical Marketing Engineer II,
Location: Raleigh or Atlanta
Meet the Team
Join the team responsible for turning integrated technology strategy into field-
credible, evidence-backed proof. Cisco Validated has long helped customers, partners, and field teams
deploy with confidence through tested designs, deployment guidance, and validated architectures. As
Cisco's portfolio becomes more integrated across networking, security, collaboration, AI, and resilience,
the team is evolving to validate not only individual designs, but the cross-portfolio outcomes Cisco
presents to the market.
This team works across Business Unit product managers, TMEs, architects, field teams, and leadership to
clarify what is real, what is repeatable, and what is ready for customers. The work spans lab validation,
proof motions, reference architectures, technical findings, and field-facing assets that help sales and
customers understand how technologies work better together.
Your Impact
As a Technical Marketing Engineer on the Cisco Validated team, you will help turn Cisco's One Cisco and
Better Together strategy into field-credible technical proof. You will lead defined validation workstreams
for integrated Cisco solutions, building and testing lab environments that reflect real customer scenarios
and help determine what is repeatable, supportable, and ready for the field.
You will work with Sr. TMEs, Business Unit product managers, Business Unit TMEs, architects, field
teams, and Cisco Validated peers to execute validation plans, capture evidence, identify integration
gaps, and translate technical findings into assets that sales teams, architects, partners, and customers
can trust. You will be expected to bring structure to assigned workstreams, work through technical
ambiguity, and keep validation tasks moving from test plan to credible proof.
You will also build broader technical fluency across the Cisco portfolio, contribute to repeatable
validation practices, support earlier-career TMEs and external partner resources, and grow toward
larger cross-portfolio ownership over time.
Responsibilities
Lead defined validation workstreams for integrated Cisco solutions under Sr. TME guidance.
Build, configure, test, and troubleshoot lab environments that reflect real customer deployment
scenarios.
Execute validation plans, capture evidence, identify issues, and document repeatable outcomes.
Partner with Sr. TMEs, BU product managers, BU TMEs, architects, field teams, and Cisco Validated
peers to keep validation work technically credible and field-relevant. Support earlier-career TMEs and external partner resources by sharing lab practices,
troubleshooting approaches, and validation lessons learned.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent
technical experience.
7+ years of hands-on experience designing, testing, troubleshooting, or supporting complex
networking, security, cloud, collaboration, or data center environments.
Working depth in at least one technical domain, with the aptitude to learn new domains quickly.
Experience contributing to technical work across product, engineering, field, sales, customer-facing,
or cross-functional teams.
Ability to execute validation plans, capture evidence, document findings, and communicate
technical results clearly.
Demonstrated ability to stay effective and adaptable in ambiguous technical environments with
shifting priorities and cross-functional dependencies.
