As a Senior Linux Systems Engineer - EDA Infrastructure, you will join the Infrastructure Engineering team to support high-performance EDA compute farms. You will be responsible for designing, deploying, and maintaining enterprise-grade Linux environments across RPM-based distributions tailored for high-throughput workloads. Your daily responsibilities include managing mission-critical operating systems, leading infrastructure configuration management through Ansible and Terraform, and developing custom tooling in Python, Bash, or Go to automate operations and integrate telemetry. You will manage naming services like LDAP/SSSD and networked storage such as NFS and Autofs. The role requires deep expertise in Linux internals, virtualization, container architectures including Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, and MicroVMs, alongside a strong grasp of networking fundamentals like TCP socket states and MTU optimization. You will build scalable infrastructure to solve complex problems within high-performance EDA toolchains.

What you'll do

  • Maintain, tune, and secure mission-critical Linux operating systems across production and non-production environments.
  • Manage infrastructure configuration and continuous deployment workflows using Infrastructure as Code tools like Ansible and Terraform.
  • Develop high-quality Python, Bash, or Go code to automate repetitive operational tasks and integrate telemetry.
  • Manage Linux Naming Services such as LDAP and SSSD for enterprise environments.
  • Administer networked storage systems including NFS and Autofs to support high-performance workloads.
  • Design and build scalable container infrastructure including registry management and custom image development.
  • Optimize network performance through MTU tuning, packet captures, and software-defined networking.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience.
  • 8+ years of deep systems engineering experience with RPM-based Linux distributions.
  • Proven track record of automating multi-tier infrastructure configurations using Infrastructure as Code tools like Ansible and Terraform.
  • Deep understanding of virtualization and container internals, including Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, and MicroVMs.
  • Proficiency in at least one modern language (Python, Bash, or Go) for automation and tooling development.
  • Deep operational understanding of networking fundamentals, including OSI layers, TCP states, MTU optimization, and packet captures.
  • Experience managing Linux Naming Services (LDAP/SSSD) and networked storage (NFS, Autofs).
  • Relevant industry certifications such as RHCE or CKA are preferred.
