Senior Linux Systems Engineer - EDA Infrastructure

We are seeking a Senior Linux Systems Engineer to join our Infrastructure Engineering team, dedicated to supporting high-performance EDA compute farms.

You will be responsible for designing, deploying, and maintaining enterprise-grade Linux environments across RPM-based distributions, optimized for the high-throughput requirements of EDA workloads.

Responsibilities

• Linux Infrastructure Engineering: Maintain, tune, and secure mission-critical Linux operating systems across production and non-production environments.
• End-to-End Automation: Lead infrastructure configuration management and continuous deployment workflows using Infrastructure as Code, e.g., Ansible and Terraform.
• Tooling Development: Write high-quality, maintainable code in Python, Bash, or Go to automate repetitive operational tasks and integrate infrastructure telemetry.
• Naming & Storage Services: Manage Linux Naming Services (LDAP/SSSD) and networked storage (NFS, Autofs) environments to support high-performance EDA workloads.

Requirements

• Linux Internals: 8+ years of deep systems engineering experience working with RPM-based Linux distributions. Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience.
• Infrastructure as Code: Strong track record of automating end-to-end multi-tier infrastructure configurations and managing centralized deployments. Experience with more than one configuration management system is a bonus.
• Virtualization and Container Architecture: Deep understanding of virtualization and container internals (e.g., Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, MicroVMs), including trade-offs between technologies. Demonstrated ability to design and build scalable container infrastructure from scratch, including registry management, custom image development, and layer optimization.
• Scripting & Tooling: Proficiency in at least one modern language (Python, Bash, or Go) for infrastructure automation, tooling development, and API integrations.
• Networking Fundamentals: Deep operational understanding of OSI layers, TCP socket states, MTU optimization, packet captures (tcpdump, wireshark), and modern physical or software-defined networking (SDN).

Nice to Have

• Experience with CI/CD integration pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins) for infrastructure artifacts. Relevant industry certifications (e.g., RHCE, CKA).
• Proven experience managing GCP and AWS compute services. Experience with using LLMs to build and manage infrastructure.
• Prior experience supporting EDA toolchains (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence) and high-performance compute clusters (e.g., exposure to LSF and Slurm environments a bonus).

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
