Job description
You'll work closely with CAD, design, and verification teams to improve throughput, reliability, and cost efficiency while maintaining strong security and compliance., Cloud Architecture & Engineering
- Design and operate AWS-based environments optimized for semiconductor/EDA workloads (interactive and batch compute)
- Build and maintain AWS RES Studio environments for end users, including performance, scalability, and lifecycle management
- Architect HPC solutions across compute, storage, and data movement (high-throughput, low-latency patterns)
- Deploy, tune, and support compute clusters using SLURM (capacity planning, queue policies, scheduling behaviour)
- Infrastructure as Code & Automation
- Implement and version infrastructure using Terraform (and Ansible where appropriate)
- Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure provisioning and platform changes
- Develop reusable modules, templates, and standards to improve consistency and speed of delivery
Operations & Maintenance
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and continuously improve availability and performance across cloud infrastructure and cluster services
- Establish operational best practices (alerting, runbooks, incident response, change control)
- Partner with CAD/engineering teams to optimize workflows, usage patterns, and job throughput
Security & Compliance
- Apply secure-by-design principles, modern AWS security practices, and zero-trust concepts
- Implement IAM strategy, network segmentation, encryption, and secrets management
- Participate in security reviews, vulnerability remediation, and compliance audits
Containerization & Orchestration (as applicable)
- Support Kubernetes environments, including cluster operations and deployment workflows
- Enable containerized workloads for supporting services and (where feasible) parts of EDA toolchains
Requirements
Do you have experience in Terraform?, Do you have a Bachelor's degree?, * 10+ years in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, SRE, or similar roles
- Strong hands-on AWS experience, including designing for performance and scale
- Practical experience with AWS RES Studio
- Strong infrastructure-as-code skills with Terraform (Ansible is a plus)
- Experience with HPC schedulers and batch systems (SLURM required; AWS Batch is a plus)
- Solid understanding of networking, distributed systems, compute provisioning, and storage architectures
- Strong knowledge of cloud security: IAM, encryption, least-privilege design, and secure networking
Desirable Experience:
- Exposure to semiconductor design workflows, EDA toolchains, or other HPC-heavy industries
- Kubernetes and container ecosystem experience
- Proficiency with or exposure to Keysight SOS versioning and release management.
- Observability tooling experience (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana)
- Proficiency with Git-based workflows
- Scripting skills (Python, Bash, etc.)
