We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.\nYou Are\nYou have spent 8+ years building and operating compute infrastructure that powers engineering teams doing work that cannot afford downtime or performance degradation. The systems you run are not back-office IT,they are the platform that determines whether a critical simulation finishes on time or a product milestone slips by three weeks. You understand that reliability at scale is a function of architecture, automation, and the decisions you make about job scheduling, storage, and cloud integration long before anyone notices a problem.\nYou are fluent in Linux, Python, and the operational realities of managing LSF, UGE, or Slurmacross large HPC environments. You have debugged misconfigured queues, optimized cloud bursting strategies to balance cost and performance, and worked across IT, security, and R&D to align infrastructure roadmaps with business priorities. You do not need perfect requirements to move forward. You ask the right questions, synthesize conflicting stakeholder needs, and build solutions that work in production, not just in theory.\nAt Synopsys, you will manage the compute environments that enable the design of the chips powering AI, automotive, and next-generation systems. The infrastructure you build directly impacts product timelines and engineering productivity across the company.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nEnable engineering teams across Synopsys IPG to use on-premises and cloud compute environments for design, verification, and simulation workloads\nTranslate requirements from business, engineering, cybersecurity, and data governance stakeholders into a technical roadmap and execute on it\nManage and optimize job scheduler environments including LSF, UGE, or Slurmacross large-scale HPC systems\nSupport and troubleshoot Linux/UNIX systems in production, ensuring uptime and performance for engineering workflows\nBuild and maintain DevOps automation using Python and other scripting languages to improve reliability and reduce manual toil\nCoordinate with IT, R&D, and infrastructure teams to align compute strategy, resolve issues, and deliver on engineering needs\nManage cloud compute operations across GCP, AWS, or Azure, including cost optimization, security compliance, and hybrid cloud integration\nThe Impact You Will Have\nEngineering teams will have reliable, performant compute environments that let them focus on their work instead of fighting infrastructure\nThe roadmap you build will shape how Synopsys scales compute capacity for next-generation IP and EDA development\nYour automation and scripting will reduce manual operations overhead and improve system reliability across the HPC environment\nR&D teams will be able to burst to cloud when needed without waiting weeks for approvals or configurations\nYour coordination across IT, security, and engineering will prevent bottlenecks and misaligned priorities before they slow down product timelines\nThe job scheduler optimizations you implement will improve throughput and reduce queue wait times for critical engineering runs\nYour deep technical knowledge will make you the go-to resource when something breaks and needs to be fixed fast\nWhat You'll Need\nDeep hands-on experience with Linux/UNIX system administration in production environments\nProven experience managing and optimizing job schedulers such as LSF, UGE, or Slurmin large-scale HPC or engineering compute environments\nStrong scripting and automation skills, particularly in Python\nExperience supporting engineering teams using cloud platforms like GCP, AWS, or Azure\nBackground in DevOps practices, tooling, and workflows\nAbility to translate technical, business, and security requirements into actionable roadmaps and coordinate across multiple stakeholder groups\nExperience managing HPC systems in large compute data centers is a strong plus\nWho You Are\nYou can sit in a meeting with IT, security, and R&D, hear three conflicting priorities, and walk out with a plan that actually worksfor all of them\nWhen something breaks inproduction, you do not panic or wait for someone else to fix it. You dig in, find the root cause, and get it back online\nYou think in systems, not tickets. You see how a change in cloud policy affects job scheduling, which affects engineering timelines, which affects product launches\nYou are comfortable saying no when a request does not make technical sense, and you can explain why in a way that does not shut down the conversation\nYou do not need to be the smartest person in the room, but you do need to be the one who makes sure the infrastructure does not become the reason a team missed their milestone\nThe Team You'll Be Part Of\nYou will be part of the Synopsys IPG HPC team, which enables engineering teams across the IP Group to run their workloads on both on-premises and cloud compute infrastructure. This is a hands-on, technically deep team that works closely with R&D, IT, and security to keep computeenvironments running and evolving.\nRewards and Benefits\nWe offer a comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits to cater to your needs. Our total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings. Your recruiter will provide more details about the salary range and benefits during the hiring process.\nAt Synopsys, we want talented people of every background to feel valued and supported to do their best work. Synopsys considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, military veteran status, or disability.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6001,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["EDA Software","Simulation & Digital Twin Software","Semiconductor IP & Chip Design Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T17:31:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":15,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T03:12:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/synopsys-hpc-devops-engineer-sr-staff-19140","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/synopsys-hpc-devops-engineer-sr-staff-19140.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T03:12:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2923,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":39954},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=39954"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsynopsys-hpc-devops-engineer-sr-staff-19140"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsynopsys-hpc-devops-engineer-sr-staff-19140"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsynopsys-hpc-devops-engineer-sr-staff-19140"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/synopsys-hpc-devops-engineer-sr-staff-19140\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsynopsys-hpc-devops-engineer-sr-staff-19140"}]}
