DevOps Engineer - Semiconductor EDA Tools & Automation

Job Description

Change the world. Love your job.

Mission

Empower TI to excel in semiconductor design and manufacturing by architecting, automating, and optimizing secure, high-performance environments for Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads. You will enable R&D and engineering teams to innovate faster by delivering scalable DevOps solutions that streamline the deployment and operation of EDA tools-including Cadence PSPICE, Artisan (TI internal EDA flow), PDKs (process development kits) and others-across cloud and hybrid infrastructure.

As a DevOps Engineer, you'll be instrumental in building and automating workflows for compute-intensive EDA applications in a secure, compliant, and highly available environment. Your work will directly impact TI's ability to deliver advanced semiconductor products to customers by ensuring seamless integration, operation, and optimization of industry-leading EDA toolchains.

You will:

• Design, automate, and manage DevOps pipelines for deploying and operating semiconductor EDA tools (Cadence PSPICE, Artisan, etc.) on-prem and in the cloud.

• Work closely with EDA tool vendors, TI EDA teams, and PDK teams while responding to customer inquiries.

• Build and maintain scalable infrastructure for simulation, verification, and design workloads, leveraging LSF or Slurm job schedulers.

• Develop and manage infrastructure-as-code solutions to automate provisioning, configuration, and scaling of EDA environments.

• Collaborate with engineering, IT and security teams to ensure robust cybersecurity controls and compliance for sensitive design data.

• Optimize compute, storage, and network resources to deliver fast, reliable access to EDA tools for global R&D teams.

• Troubleshoot, monitor, and enhance performance of EDA workloads and DevOps pipelines, driving continuous improvement.

Core Responsibilities:

• Deploy, configure, and automate EDA tools (Cadence PSPICE, Artisan, etc.) in hybrid and cloud environments.

• Design and manage high-performance, secure infrastructure for EDA workloads using LSF or Slurm job schedulers.

• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for EDA application updates, test automation, and environment provisioning.

• Apply best practices for security, compliance, and operational reliability in semiconductor design environments.

• Provide technical guidance to engineers and researchers on DevOps, automation, and EDA workload optimization.

Qualifications

Minimum Requirements:

• Must have an active and transferable U.S. government issued Secret security clearance at the time of application
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
• 3 years hands-on experience automating and deploying semiconductor EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Allegro, PSPICE, or Artisan; Altium Designer; AutoCAD; SIMetrix) in enterprise environments

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong background in DevOps practices, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar), and automation scripting (Python, Bash, etc.)
• Experience with LSF or Slurm job schedulers for high-performance compute workloads
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform) and hybrid infrastructure
• Experience supporting semiconductor design, simulation, or verification workloads at scale
• Experience with EDA license server deployment and management
• Knowledge of network and storage architecture for high-throughput environments
• Cloud certifications (e.g., AWS, Azure)

• Familiarity with regulatory and data security standards in the semiconductor industry

• Solid Linux administration skills

• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills

• Excellent communication and collaboration ability
