How would I get a job with cisco building routers and switches?

when I say building them, I mean like making the circutry, dealing with electricity and all that stuff. I'll be going to a community college next month for physics, then will transfer to a university and go for electrical engineering.

Do you mean as part of the manufacturing process or building out datacenters?

Assuming the former, "Making the circutry" is not done in datacenters

As for building - there is a factory in Russia I think, in China and there used to be a Mexican one - I think that one is closed.

As with most companies - manufacturing of stuff is usually outsourced. What is dealt with internally I believe is development, but I doubt you can just jump in, you probably have to be with Cisco for a while and whatnot ..

Yeah it's going to be done in a low cost base country and tbh, making a living would be tough imo. You could always go towards the side of actually designing the devices, in which case your engineering degree would be very useful.

Interesting, thanks guys. Design could work, I'll look into that.
