Key responsibilities include maintaining software and hardware
infrastructure, managing licensing and deployments, and ensuring
system performance and reliability. The role involves solving
complex technical issues, contributing to infrastructure upgrades,
and collaborating closely with engineering teams to support design
and development workflows.
What You Will Do:
Administer a wide range of ECAD tools for schematic capture, PCB
layout, IC design, simulation, and data management (e.g., OrCAD,
Cadence, Xpedition, ADS, Cliosoft).
Plan and implement software installations, upgrades, templates, and
custom libraries.
Support engineering teams with documentation, version control, and
traceability processes.
Provide technical support for ECAD applications, libraries, and
foundry PDKs.
Create user documentation and training resources.
Manage Windows/Linux servers, including performance, licensing,
upgrades, and access control.

standards.
What is Required:
8+ years of experience with a Bachelor's, 6+ with a Master's, or
equivalent.
Skilled in administering and troubleshooting complex Windows/Linux
systems.
Deep knowledge of ECAD/EDA tools (e.g., OrCAD, Xpedition, Cadence,
Ansys, Xilinx, Silvaco) and PDKs.
Proficient in scripting (e.g., Bash, PowerShell) for automation and
workflow improvement.
Strong communication, customer support, and cross-functional
collaboration skills.
Proven ability to manage critical engineering applications in
high-availability environments.
Experienced in deploying software, EDA kits, libraries, and
managing licenses.
Familiar with remote access tools (e.g., VNC, SSH) and both
Unix/Linux and Windows OS.
Effective team leader with strong problem-solving and independent
decision-making abilities.
Desired Qualifications:
Knowledge of PLM systems (e.g., Windchill, Teamcenter, ENOVIA) and
ECAD integration, including version control, BOM, and
traceability.
Familiar with cybersecurity compliance (e.g., NIST) in scientific
environments.
Experience with software licensing, maintenance, and procurement
contracts.
