DevOps Linux Engineer - EDA analyst for FlexNet Manager data
at Semiconductor based industry
The mission of R&D IT Design Infrastructure is to offer a state-of-the-art design environment
for the chip hardware designers. The R&D IT design environment is a complex landscape of EDA Applications, High Performance Compute, and Storage environments - consolidated in five regional datacenters. Over 7,000 chip hardware designers, spread across 40+ locations around the world, use this state-of-the-art design environment to design new chips and drive the innovation of company. The following figures give an idea about the scale: the landscape has more 75,000+ cores, 30+ PBytes of data, and serves 2,000+ CAD applications and versions. The operational service teams are globally organized to cover 24/7 support to the chip hardware design and software design projects.
Since the landscape is really too complex to manage the traditional way, it is our strategy to transform our R&D IT design infrastructure into “software-defined datacenters”. This transformation entails a different way of work and a different mind-set (DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering) to ensure that our IT services are reliable. That’s why we are looking for a DevOps Linux Engineer to strengthen the team that is building a new on-premise software defined virtualization and containerization platform (PaaS) for our IT landscape, so that we can manage it with best practices from software engineering and offer the IT service reliability which is required by our chip hardware design community.
It will be your role to develop and maintain the base Linux OS images that are offered via automation to the customers of the internal (on-premise) cloud platforms.

Ansible Tower and Service-Now
• Test and verify the code produced by the team (including your own) to continuously
improve and refactor
• Troubleshoot and solve incidents on the RedHat Linux operating system
• Work actively with other teams to align on the architecture of the PaaS solution
