The listing, marked up
Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.
We are seeking aLinux Systems Engineerto 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. You will drive automation initiatives, and build robust tooling to support a highly available and scalable infrastructure.
What you'll be doing:
• Linux Infrastructure Engineering:Maintain, tune, and secure mission-criticalLinux operating systemsacross production and non-production environments.
• End-to-End Automation:Lead infrastructureconfiguration managementand continuous deployment workflows using Infrastructure as Code, e.g.Ansible and Terraform.
• Tooling Development:Write high-quality, maintainable code inPython, Bash, or Go to automate repetitive operational tasksand integrate infrastructure telemetry.
• Naming & Storage Services:ManageLinux Naming Services (LDAP/SSSD)and networked storage (NFS, Autofs) environments to support high-performance EDA workloads.
What we need to see:
• Linux Internals: 8+ yearsof 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).
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
• 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 servicesExperience 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)
