IT Infrastructure Engineer

About the Role

This is a hybrid IT role supporting semiconductor development workflows. It sits between traditional IT and engineering, focusing on optimizing infrastructure for high-performance compute environments used in silicon design. You’ll collaborate with internal teams to ensure compute, storage, and networking resources are provisioned, maintained, and tailored to engineering needs.

Responsibilities

Coordinate with IT teams to provision and manage bare-metal and virtualized Linux servers, networked storage, and infrastructure upgrades

Monitor and troubleshoot performance issues across hardware, software, storage, and networking systems

Develop and maintain internal automation scripts (Perl, Python) to meet specialized engineering requirements

Enforce data security policies and access controls

Support engineers by diagnosing workflow-related issues and optimizing compute usage

Analyze execution efficiency of EDA tools (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens)

Perform data extraction and reporting tasks

Maintain and contribute to internal technical documentation (wiki-based)
