## Description

As an EDA License Engineer at NVIDIA, you will play a crucial role in managing and optimizing our engineering software licenses. This position offers an outstanding opportunity to collaborate with world-class engineers and contribute to groundbreaking innovations!

**Responsibilities:**

- Own the day-to-day operation and lifecycle management of FlexLM/FLEXnet EDA license servers in Linux environments, including installs, upgrades, renewals, rereads, and decommissioning.

- Diagnose and resolve license availability, checkout, and performance issues using tools such as lmstat, debug logs, and operational telemetry.

- Partner with EDA tool owners, infrastructure teams, and security collaborators to ensure license compliance, access control, and export-restricted usage policies.

- Improve reliability and observability of license infrastructure through automation, monitoring, and data analysis of license usage and trends.

- Lead or own small to medium-sized projects to improve licensing workflows, tooling, or operational scalability.

- Contribute documentation, operational runbooks, and guidelines to support broader team knowledge sharing.

- Serve as a technical point of contact for license-related incidents and blocking issues affecting engineering efficiency.

**Requirements:**

- Strong hands-on experience with FlexLM / FLEXnet licensing, including server configuration, license files, daemons, and troubleshooting. Familiarity with Reprise License Manager is a plus.

- Solid Linux system administration skills (RHEL/CentOS), including process management, logging, networking basics, and scripting.

- Experience operating production infrastructure with high availability and reliability expectations.

- Ability to work independently within broadly defined objectives and exercise sound technical judgment.

- Demonstrated ability to collaborate across teams and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical collaborators.

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

- 5+ years of experience in a related field.

**Nice to Have:**

- Experience automating operational workflows using scripting (python or shell) or infrastructure tooling such as Ansible.

- Familiarity with license allocation methods such as using options files, dedicated license pools, and batch scheduling allocation such as License Scheduler.

- Experience supporting EDA toolchains (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens) in large engineering environments.

- Exposure to security, export-control, or access-restriction requirements in shared compute environments.

- Prior ownership of infrastructure projects that improved reliability, scalability, or operational efficiency.
