Company:
Qualcomm Intl Inc., Mexico Branch Office
Job Area:
Information Technology Group, Information Technology Group > IT Engineering
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 to
