General Summary
As a Senior Linux Systems Engineer within the HW Engineering Compute team, you will be responsible for the health, performance, and scalability of massive-scale compute environments that power Qualcomm’s next-generation semiconductor design. This will relate to management, configuration, and augmentation of the HPC servers leveraged to enable Qualcomm’s Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads both on-premises and in public cloud.

Our
Hybrid Cloud strategy
will require maintenance and evolution of our current cloud footprint for "bursting" of workloads from on-premises data centers to major public cloud providers. This includes optimizing for both cost and performance within the unique context of that environment.

Key Responsibilities
- Provide expert-level administration for enterprise Linux distributions including RHEL, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu and SLES.




- Unify infrastructure using configuration management to ensure configuration parity between on-prem and cloud environments.
- Develop script-based automations to facilitate "passive" knowledge capture, transcribing triage sessions into structured workflows that can be applied to future cloud-scale issues.
- Architect and maintain Cloud Bursting solutions that allow on-premises HPC schedulers (Slurm/LSF) to dynamically scale into public cloud environments.
- Optimize cloud instance selection for specific EDA tool behaviors (e.g., memory-intensive synthesis vs. compute-heavy simulation), focusing on HPC-optimized instances and specialized networking (e.g., AWS EFA).
- Implement cost-governance strategies for cloud compute to minimize waste without impacting engineering schedules.
- Utilize observability tools to monitor workloads, identifying bottlenecks in on premises workloads or the cloud
- Understand key facilities within the Linux OS to improve EDA tool perfor
