TL;DR · Senior Linux Systems Engineer, EDA Infrastructure

The Senior Linux Systems Engineer joins the Infrastructure Engineering team to support high-performance EDA compute farms. This role involves designing, deploying, and maintaining enterprise-grade Linux environments across RPM-based distributions optimized for high-throughput EDA workloads. Key responsibilities include maintaining and tuning mission-critical operating systems, leading infrastructure configuration management through Infrastructure as Code, and developing tooling to automate operational tasks and integrate telemetry. The candidate will manage Linux Naming Services like LDAP/SSSD and networked storage including NFS and Autofs. Required technical skills include proficiency in Python, Bash, or Go, and experience with Ansible, Terraform, Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, and MicroVMs. The role requires deep knowledge of networking fundamentals, including TCP socket states and MTU optimization, to solve complex infrastructure challenges within EDA toolchains.

What you'll do

  • Maintain, tune, and secure mission-critical Linux operating systems across production and non-production environments.
  • Lead infrastructure configuration management and continuous deployment workflows using Infrastructure as Code tools like Ansible and Terraform.
  • Write high-quality code in Python, Bash, or Go to automate repetitive operational tasks and integrate infrastructure telemetry.
  • Manage Linux Naming Services such as LDAP/SSSD and networked storage environments like NFS and Autofs.
  • Design and build scalable container infrastructure including registry management, custom image development, and layer optimization.
  • Optimize networking performance through MTU tuning, packet captures, and software-defined networking configurations.
  • Support high-performance EDA toolchains and compute clusters within a high-throughput environment.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of deep systems engineering experience working with RPM-based Linux distributions.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience.
  • Strong track record of automating end-to-end multi-tier infrastructure configurations and managing centralized deployments.
  • Experience with more than one configuration management system (preferred).
  • 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 infrastructure automation and tooling development.
  • Deep operational understanding of OSI layers, TCP socket states, MTU optimization, and packet captures.
  • Relevant industry certifications such as RHCE or CKA (preferred).
