Linux Systems Administrator (EDA Environment) - 6 month contract with a view to extend

Location

UK (Remote-first), with infrequent, as-needed access to collocated infrastructure in Maidenhead and London data centres.

Purpose of role

We are seeking a highly capable Linux Systems Administrator whose primary focus is supporting the business’ engineering EDA environment and high-performance compute platform .

The core of this role is the day today operation, stability, and improvement of the EDA software and Linux compute environment used by engineers. You will work across the full EDA stack, encompassing software, licensing, compute, storage, virtualisation (VMware), networking, and supporting HPC components, applying hands on administration, troubleshooting, maintenance, and incremental improvements to keep the platform reliable, performant, and fit for purpose.

Platform snapshot (what you’ll be supporting):

You will work closely with engineering and IT teams to ensure the platform is secure, resilient, and performant.
