EDA Computing / HPC Infrastructure MTS

Job Title

EDA Computing / HPC Infrastructure MTS

Role Summary

Senior hands-on technical role providing ownership and operational support for EDA/HPC compute, storage, scheduling, and application services used for semiconductor design, verification, and tapeout. The role supports hybrid on-premises and cloud (AWS) environments and focuses on performance, reliability, security, and cost-effective operations.

Experience Level

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

Responsibilities

Primary technical and operational responsibilities include:

• Operate, optimize, and troubleshoot EDA compute clusters and batch scheduling (preferably IBM LSF) for simulation, physical verification, OPC, lithography, signoff, and tapeout workloads.
• Analyze job failures, hung jobs, queue bottlenecks, license constraints, compute node issues, and workload performance problems.
• Provide technical ownership for hybrid EDA HPC platforms across on-premises infrastructure and AWS-based compute environments.
• Support and optimize EDA storage services (NFS, NetApp ONTAP, AWS FSx, S3, and related high‑performance file services).
• Design, develop, and maintain automation tools to improve operations, observability, reliability, and support efficiency.
• Own and resolve complex ServiceNow incidents, requests, problems, and changes related to EDA computing services.
• Lead root-cause analysis, coordinate planned system changes, and provide concise technical status updates during critical incidents.
• Participate in team documentation, knowledge sharing, cross-training, and continuous improvement; follow EHS and security requirements.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• Extensive experience supporting EDA computing, HPC, or large-scale Linux production environments.
• Hands-on experience with batch schedulers, preferably IBM LSF; ability to tune and troubleshoot scheduler behavior.
• Strong Linux system administration skills on RHEL-based platforms.
• Bash scripting and automation experience; ability to develop tools that improve operational efficiency.
• Ability to analyze complex incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and implement sustainable fixes.
• Experience with high-performance storage and file services, troubleshooting performance and capacity issues.
• Familiarity with ServiceNow or similar ITSM tooling for incident/request/change management.
• Fluency in English (written and verbal); travel up to 10%.

Nice-to-have / preferred:

• AWS or other cloud platform experience for HPC workloads; hybrid cloud operations.
• Python automation, monitoring/logging/dashboarding, capacity reporting, and operational analytics tools.
• Experience supporting semiconductor design and tapeout flows (Calibre, ASML Brion, Cadence, Synopsys, or similar EDA applications).
• NetApp ONTAP, NFS, FSx, S3 experience.

Education Requirements

Required: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience. Preferred: Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or related technical field. Equivalent practical experience is explicitly accepted.

Expected Salary Range: $104,000 - $175,000 (exact salary determined by qualifications, experience, and location).
