IT Infrastructure Engineer

About the Role

This is a hybrid IT role supporting semiconductor development workflows. It sits between traditional IT and engineering, focusing on optimizing infrastructure for high-performance compute environments used in silicon design. You'll collaborate with internal teams to ensure compute, storage, and networking resources are provisioned, maintained, and tailored to engineering needs.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate with IT teams to provision and manage bare-metal and virtualized Linux servers, networked storage, and infrastructure upgrades
• Monitor and troubleshoot performance issues across hardware, software, storage, and networking systems
• Develop and maintain internal automation scripts (Perl, Python) to meet specialized engineering requirements
• Enforce data security policies and access controls
• Support engineers by diagnosing workflow-related issues and optimizing compute usage
• Analyze execution efficiency of EDA tools (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens)
• Perform data extraction and reporting tasks
• Maintain and contribute to internal technical documentation (wiki-based)

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on Linux experience, ideally with system administration exposure
• Proficiency in scripting (Perl, Python)
• Familiarity with IBM Spectrum LSF or similar workload management systems
• Strong written communication skills

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with cloud-based compute environments using LSF or similar tools
• Knowledge of NetApp NAS storage and NFS file systems
• Familiarity with automated build environments using make
• Exposure to semiconductor development tools (Verilog, logic synthesis, etc.)
• LDAP scripting experience (Vintela is a plus)
• Experience with Perforce version control
• Basic database skills (MySQL/MariaDB) and tactical database creation
• Dashboard development (HTML, Java, or other frameworks)
