## Description

You will join Synopsys, the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products.

As a Principal Site Reliability Engineer, Unix Systems, you will support infrastructure that directly affects how 30,000 people build the chips that power everything.

**What You'll Be Doing**

- Administer and troubleshoot large scale Unix/Linux environments supporting business critical engineering workloads across global development teams

- Support grid and HPC infrastructure running workload schedulers like IBM Spectrum LSF, Slurm, PBS Pro, or Grid Engine for compute intensive engineering jobs

- Diagnose and resolve complex production issues affecting job execution, scheduling, resource utilization, system performance, and infrastructure availability

- Maintain and improve reliability of source code and development platforms including GitHub, GitLab, Perforce, and Artifactory used by software engineering teams globally

- Build automation, scripts, tools, and operational documentation that reduce repetitive work and improve system reliability and scalability

- Participate in production support and on call rotation covering globally distributed systems, including occasional evening, weekend, or early morning coverage

- Conduct root cause analysis after significant incidents and drive corrective and preventative actions that prevent recurrence

**The Impact You Will Have**

- Keep critical engineering infrastructure available and performant for thousands of engineers building semiconductor products across the US, Europe, India, and other global locations

- Reduce engineering downtime by catching and resolving infrastructure problems before they affect productivity or workload execution

- Improve the stability and performance of HPC and grid environments so engineering teams can run compute intensive workloads reliably at scale

- Make development workflows faster and more reliable by maintaining high availability source code and build infrastructure that engineering teams depend on daily

- Eliminate recurring operational problems by building sustainable automation and process improvements rather than relying on reactive firefighting

- Accelerate incident resolution by providing deep technical expertise during complex troubleshooting that spans multiple infrastructure components

- Enable better capacity planning and infrastructure decisions by monitoring system health, performance trends, and resource utilization patterns

**What You'll Need**

- 7+ years of hands on experience administering and troubleshooting Unix/Linux systems in complex production environments, with depth of technical capability being more important than years alone

- Strong knowledge of Unix/Linux operating systems, system administration, performance troubleshooting, and production support for business critical infrastructure

- Experience supporting large scale infrastructure or server environments used by engineering or software development organizations where reliability and performance directly affect productivity

- Demonstrated ability to independently diagnose and resolve complex infrastructure problems affecting production systems and technical users

- Strong scripting and automation capability using shell, Python, Perl, or similar languages for systems administration, troubleshooting, and operational improvement

- Experience with HPC, grid computing, cluster computing, or large scale engineering compute environments is a strong plus

- Hands on experience with IBM Spectrum LSF, Platform LSF, Slurm, PBS Pro, Grid Engine, or comparable workload management technologies is highly valuable
