• 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.
