TL;DR · EDA License Engineer

The EDA License Engineer manages and optimizes engineering software licenses within a production infrastructure environment. You will own the day-to-day lifecycle management of FlexLM/FLEXnet EDA license servers in Linux environments, including installations, upgrades, renewals, and decommissioning. Responsibilities include diagnosing availability and performance issues using lmstat and debug logs, ensuring license compliance, and improving infrastructure reliability through automation and data analysis. You will lead projects to improve licensing workflows and serve as a technical point of contact for incidents. Required skills include hands-on experience with FlexLM, RHEL/CentOS system administration, and scripting. You will support EDA toolchains like Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens while navigating security and export-restricted usage policies in shared compute environments to maintain engineering efficiency.

What you'll do

  • Manage the full lifecycle of FlexLM/FLEXnet license servers in Linux environments, including installs, upgrades, and decommissioning.
  • Diagnose and resolve license availability, checkout, and performance issues using debug logs and telemetry.
  • Ensure license compliance, access control, and export-restricted usage policies with infrastructure and security teams.
  • Improve infrastructure reliability and observability through automation, monitoring, and data analysis of usage trends.
  • Lead projects to improve licensing workflows, tooling, and operational scalability.
  • Create and maintain documentation, operational runbooks, and guidelines for team knowledge sharing.
  • Serve as the technical point of contact for license-related incidents and blocking issues.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in a related field.
  • Strong hands-on experience with FlexLM / FLEXnet licensing, including server configuration, license files, daemons, and troubleshooting.
  • 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 and collaborate across teams to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical collaborators.
  • Experience automating operational workflows using scripting (python or shell) or infrastructure tooling such as Ansible (preferred).
  • Export-control, or access-restriction requirements in shared compute environments.
