Job summary

NVIDIA's silicon does not tape out without the farm behind it. Our EDA compute environment runs millions of cores across federated LSF cells, and every simulation, synthesis run, and timing signoff on our roadmap passes through it.

We are consolidating a dual-scheduler estate onto a single LSF platform, and we are looking for an engineer who knows LSF at the level of its internals — not just its configuration files. This is a deep-specialist role.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years in HPC or large-scale batch compute, with 5+ years on IBM Spectrum LSF.
• Demonstrated depth in LSF internals and ability to explain scheduling cycle from submission to dispatch.
• Hands-on MultiCluster experience in a production, multi-site environment.
• Strong Linux systems fundamentals and scripting in Python, Perl, and shell.

Responsibilities

• Owning scheduler behavior across 15–25 federated LSF cells, including mbatchd and mbschd tuning.
• Diagnosing MultiCluster forwarding problems in production environments.
• Setting design for cell topology and federation as the farm grows.
• Encoding scheduler policy into a config schema that survives MultiCluster interactions.
• Partnering with CAD and methodology teams on workloads with large memory and bursty demand.
