Job Title

EDA Computing / HPC Infrastructure MTS

Role Summary

Provide technical ownership and hands-on support for EDA/HPC compute, storage, scheduling, and application services used for semiconductor design, verification, and tapeout. The role spans on-premises and AWS-based environments and focuses on reliability, performance, security, and operational automation.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Minimum 8 years relevant experience for MTS or 10+ years for Senior MTS in EDA computing, HPC, Linux infrastructure, storage, cloud, or production engineering support.

Responsibilities

Responsible for operating and improving EDA/HPC platforms, resolving incidents, and developing automation and documentation.

• Support EDA compute clusters for simulation, physical verification, OPC, lithography, signoff, and tapeout workloads.
• Operate, optimize, and troubleshoot IBM LSF and other batch scheduling environments for high-throughput workloads.
• Analyze and resolve job failures, hung jobs, queue bottlenecks, license constraints, and compute-node issues.
• Provide technical ownership for hybrid on-premises and AWS-based EDA HPC platforms.
• Support and optimize EDA storage services (NFS, NetApp ONTAP, AWS FSx, S3).
• Design, develop, and maintain automation to improve operations, observability, reliability, and support efficiency.
• Own and resolve complex ServiceNow incidents, requests, problems, and changes.
• Lead root-cause analysis, coordinate planned changes, and communicate status during critical incidents.
• Contribute to documentation, knowledge sharing, cross-training, and operational standards.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience required to perform the role. Preferred skills are listed separately.

• Minimum 8 years relevant experience for MTS (10+ years for Senior MTS) in EDA computing, HPC, Linux infrastructure, storage, cloud, or production engineering support.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise batch schedulers, preferably IBM LSF.
• Strong Linux system administration skills, especially RHEL.
• Proficient in Bash scripting.
• Proven ability to investigate complex production incidents and implement sustainable solutions.
• Operational experience with high-performance storage technologies (NFS, NetApp ONTAP, AWS FSx, S3).
• Ability to work on-call and travel up to 10%.

Nice-to-have:

• Python automation and experience with monitoring, logging, dashboarding, and operational analytics.
• Experience supporting semiconductor design and tapeout flows and EDA applications (Calibre, ASML Brion, Cadence, Synopsys, etc.).
• Experience operating HPC on AWS or other cloud platforms.
• Strong written and verbal communication, planning, and organizational skills.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience. A Master’s degree in a related technical field is preferred.
