Job summary

Blue Origin is seeking a CAD Engineer focused on compute and design infrastructure to empower the Custom ASIC Silicon (CAS) team. This role enables a high-performance design environment for semiconductor development and simulation.

You will build and maintain compute platforms, manage EDA tools, deploy HPC resources, and implement CI/CD for design validation while collaborating with IT and CAS engineers to scale on-premise and cloud environments.

Qualifications

• B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 10+ years of CAD/EDA infrastructure or semiconductor design environments.
• Experience managing compute infrastructure for semiconductor or ASIC design teams.
• Familiarity with EDA license server management (e.g., FlexLM/FlexNet).
• Strong scripting skills (Python, shell, Perl, or Tcl).
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git, Perforce) in a hardware design context.
• Knowledge of Linux-based HPC environments.
• M.S. in relevant engineering discipline.
• Experience with cloud-based EDA infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure).
• Background in high-performance computing environments for VLSI design.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines applied to hardware design flows.
• Experience with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) in EDA environments.
• Understanding of storage systems and network architecture for large design databases.
• Experience supporting large ASIC design teams across multiple concurrent projects.

Responsibilities

• Implement and maintain compute infrastructure supporting CAS design and verification activities.
• Configure and manage EDA tool environments and license servers for the CAS engineering team.
• Support the deployment of high-performance computing (HPC) clusters and storage systems for large-scale simulation and verification workloads.
• Implement continuous integration systems for design validation within the CAS flow.
• Monitor compute resource utilization and provide capacity planning recommendations.
• Manage EDA tool access, licensing, and version control across the CAS team.
• Collaborate with IT and infrastructure teams to optimize on-premise and cloud-based design environments.
• Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure issues impacting design team productivity.
• Develop and document infrastructure best practices and standard operating procedures for the CAS organization.
