EDA Cloud & Developer Infrastructure Engineer

The role

You will build and scale infrastructure and developer workflows for custom silicon development. You will own cloud infrastructure, HPC environments, CI/CD pipelines, regression systems, and data platforms.

What you will do

• Build developer tools and workflows to automate processes and accelerate engineering productivity.
• Design, implement, and operate large-scale regression systems.
• Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and developer tooling.
• Design, provision, and operate cloud infrastructure and high-performance compute clusters.
• Develop data pipelines, databases, and monitoring systems.
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues and improve monitoring and alerting.
• Collaborate with engineers across RTL, verification, physical design, emulation, and software.

Required qualifications

• Strong software engineering fundamentals.
• Proficiency in Python or a similar programming language.
• Experience building reliable automation, tools, or infrastructure services.
• Deep technical expertise in at least one area of infrastructure engineering, such as Linux/HPC environments, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD systems, storage, networking, or EDA development workflows.
• Experience designing, deploying, and operating cloud infrastructure.
• Strong Linux systems knowledge, including processes, filesystems, networking, permissions, performance troubleshooting, and system administration.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, Buildkite, GitHub Actions, or similar platforms.
• Ability to debug complex distributed infrastructure problems.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting ASIC or semiconductor development environments, including EDA workflows, design verification, physical design, emulation, or formal verification.
• Experience operating large-scale HPC clusters or workload schedulers such as Slurm.
• Familiarity with compute farms, regression frameworks, build systems, and hardware development toolchains.
• Experience with enterprise identity and authentication systems, such as Entra ID, OpenLDAP, FreeIPA, or SSSD.
• Experience designing and operating relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL.
• Familiarity with distributed systems components, including message queues, caching layers, artifact storage, and backend services.
• Experience with high-performance storage systems, data movement optimization, or large-scale compute infrastructure.
• Experience managing EDA license servers, license utilization, or other shared infrastructure resources in hardware development environments.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Bicep.
• Experience with Azure.
