About the Role

We are seeking a highly technical, execution-focused Hardware & Software Engineering Applications System Administrator to support the core engineering applications environment for the Hardware Platform Solutions (HPS) group. The System Administrator is responsible for the direct operational and technical execution of the daily installation, packaging, configuration, and troubleshooting of specialized R&D application toolchains. The successful candidate will provide disciplined operational support across 12 global Design Centers to eliminate engineering environment blocks and optimize developer productivity.

Responsibilities

Execute automated application provisioning playbooks to eliminate the traditional "Day 1 productivity gap."
Manage the daily installation, configuration, application packaging, and technical integration of specialized R&D software.
Serve as the direct, hands-on technical bridge between corporate IT infrastructure and engineering teams, resolving environment blocks and optimizing execution workflows.
Execute application packaging, license tracking, and configuration management for the HPS hardware engineering application environment.
Provide direct administrative and technical troubleshooting support for specialized hardware engineering environments.
Administer and monitor central concurrent-user license managers, handling license queuing configurations and multi-tenant tracking utilities.
Provide direct operational support for application lifecycle management (ALM), source control, and container platforms.
Administer specialized secure code compilation and vulnerability environments.
Manage the local deployment, active licensing, and update synchronization for specialized validation and lab testing software.

Requirements

Direct technical experience installing, patching, configuring, and deploying major EDA/CAD suites (such as Cadence, Synopsys, Ansys, or PTC).
Practical administrative experience managing Azure DevOps, Jira, Git repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization systems (Docker/Kubernetes).
Functional knowledge of working with FlexLM, RMS, and similar vendor-specific license management server environments.
Technical comfort supporting Windows desktop applications alongside non-standard Linux base development images (Ubuntu, Rocky Linux) and enterprise endpoint configurations (BigFix, ThreatLocker).
Proven ability to generate flawless application installation playbooks, precise packaging documentation, and clear troubleshooting scripts.
Exceptional technical troubleshooting skills, capable of identifying workarounds and diagnosing complex engineering application bugs within highly secure enterprise environments.
Strong communication skills to interact directly and efficiently with HPS Design Center engineers, project managers, and global infrastructure tier-3 teams.
Highly organized approach to tracking local software licensing utilization, preventing downtime, and advising management on upcoming software capacity or maintenance renewals.
