• Plan, install, and provide daily support for all managed customer Linux environments, including both virtualized and physical systems.
• Collaborate with the global EDA operations team to resolve service incidents and ensure high availability for engineering design applications such as Cadence and Cliosoft.
• Perform server administration duties including installing, configuring, and testing servers, applying errata and hot fixes, and automating operational procedures.
• Administer Dell EMC VxRail platforms using VMware/vSphere technology. Build and deploy virtual machines and templates while managing Isilon storage platforms and SAN concepts.
• Manage and maintain enterprise‑level services including NIS, NFS, CIFS, and various data transfer tools.
• Utilize Zabbix or similar monitoring tools to ensure system health and use scripting languages (Bash, Python, or Perl) to improve operational workflows.
• Ensure timely resolution of high‑severity incidents, including professional communication, reporting, and tracking of follow‑up actions.
• Follow and create technical documentation for processes and standards while providing redundancy and cross‑training for other members of the systems administration team.
• Participate in an on‑call escalation support rotation to ensure 24/7 coverage for critical infrastructure.

What You Will Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent professional experience.
• Minimum of 5+ years managing an enterprise Linux environment and supporting general IT operations.
• Expert knowledge of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) versions 6, 7, and 8.
• Proven experience with Windows Server OS, patching protocols, and VMware/ESXi environments.
• Hands‑on experience with Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell EMC storage solutions.
• Ability to read, understand, and write Linux scripts to automate manual tasks.
• Excellent verbal and written interpersonal skills with a proven ability to prioritize and organize effectively in a fast‑moving, collaborative environment.
• A Linux Professional Certification (RHCSA/RHCE) is considered a significant plus.
