Batch Processing System Architect

HPE is seeking a Linux Systems and Automation Architect to support and enhance the Linux-based infrastructure used for ASIC chip development. This infrastructure includes RHEL8 servers (VMs and bare metal), NFS file servers, MariaDB databases, and LSF job scheduling systems, all extensively automated using Ansible and custom scripts. This is a hands-on, senior-level role combining system administration, automation engineering, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure the environment meets the high-performance needs of ASIC engineers developing cutting-edge silicon chip technologies. The ideal candidate brings deep Linux and EDA tooling expertise, strong scripting abilities, and excellent communication skills to coordinate across engineering and infrastructure teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage and configure LSF Scheduler/Resource Manager and RTM monitoring to optimize ASIC development workloads and collaborate with the ASIC tools team to maintain and evolve LSF configurations.
• Install, update, and support EDA tools from vendors such as Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor, including managing Flexera Licensing and license file configurations.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts (Ansible, Bash, Python, Perl) for system deployments, updates, configuration management, and LSF environment operations across large-scale Linux environments.
• Administer RHEL Linux systems at scale, including NFS server management, user account and LDAP administration, certificate management, patching, and system hardening.
• Monitor and optimize system performance across network, storage, and compute resources, and assist ASIC teams in investigating and resolving tool-related issues.
• Coordinate with architecture, networking, and infrastructure teams to design hardware solutions, resolve DNS/routing/firewall issues, and manage incidents and change requests through ServiceNow.
• Create and maintain comprehensive documentation including operational runbooks, automated process guides, and change management records, while coordinating system events such as patching and planned downtime with business units.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Typically, 6+ years of experience managing RHEL Linux systems at scale; RHEL or equivalent Linux certifications strongly preferred.
• Hands-on experience with LSF Scheduler/Resource Manager, RTM monitoring, or similar workload management platforms in an ASIC or EDA environment.
• Proficiency in scripting languages including Python, Bash, and Perl for automation and systems management.
• Experience with automation and configuration management tools such as Ansible.
• Familiarity with ASIC EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor) and Flexera Licensing.
• Experience managing NFS servers, Linux patching (yum, RPMs), LDAP authentication, and system hardening tools (SaltStack, VMware Aria, or similar).
• Experience with incident and change management platforms such as ServiceNow, including provisioning and decommissioning workflows.

Knowledge and Skills:

• Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams including ASIC engineers, infrastructure teams, and management.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver results in a fast-paced, high-performance computing environment.
• Strong documentation skills for creating runbooks, operational workflows, and process guides.
• Knowledge of NFS storage infrastructure, network troubleshooting, and Linux performance optimization.
• Familiarity with remote access tools such as NoMachine (NX) and graphical desktop environments (GNOME/KDE/MATE).
• Understanding of cloud infrastructure coordination, including architecture design collaboration and system provisioning processes.
