EDA Support Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Compute Grid Management: Monitor, manage, and triage issues within high-performance compute environments (e.g., LSF, Grid Engine, or Slurm) to ensure optimal job scheduling and resource utilization.
• EDA License Triaging: Track, debug, and resolve license checkout failures, denials, and server sync issues for major EDA vendors (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens/Mentor).
• CI/CD Pipeline Support: Troubleshoot and resolve automated build, test, and simulation failures within our hardware CI infrastructure.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with hardware design engineers, CAD teams, and IT infrastructure to provide rapid root-cause analysis and minimize engineering downtime.

Technical Requirements

• EDA Tools & Workflows: Strong familiarity with semiconductor design flows and backend compute environments.
• Grid Computing: Hands-on experience triaging distributed resource management systems (e.g., IBM Spectrum LSF, Slurm, Altair Grid Engine).
• License Management: Experience managing and debugging FlexLM / FlexNet publisher systems.
• CI/CD Platforms: Proficiency in triaging pipeline disruptions in Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or similar tools.
• Scripting & Automation: Solid scripting skills in Python, Bash, or Perl for automated log analysis and environment checking.

Soft Skills

• Exceptionally strong problem-solving and rapid debugging skills under pressure.
• Clear communication skills to translate complex infrastructure failures to engineering teams and vendors.
