 * Monitor pipeline health, diagnose failures, and drive mean-time-to-recovery improvements.
 * EDA Tool Administration
 * Install, configure, and upgrade Cadence, Ansys, Siemens EDA (Mentor Graphics), and Keysight EDA tools across multi-user Linux environments.
 * Administer FlexLM / RLM license servers; monitor utilization, and troubleshoot checkout failures.
 * Linux System Administration
 * Diagnose and resolve Linux system issues including kernel panics, NFS/storage failures, memory leaks, and network connectivity problems.
 * Manage RHEL workstations and compute servers; apply security patches and OS updates on a scheduled cadence.
 * Maintain NFS mounts, automounter configurations, and shared storage for EDA project data.
 * Configure and monitor LSF compute farm nodes used for EDA batch jobs.
 * Automate repetitive sysadmin tasks with Ansible playbooks and shell/Python scripts.
