- Experience supporting semiconductor applications such as Cadence and administering FlexLM/FlexNet license managers.
- Hands-on exposure to Cadence tool licensing, infrastructure layout, and resource-heavy parallel processing.
- Practical experience with high-speed switching fabrics, InfiniBand configuration, VLAN architecture, and network troubleshooting tools such as Wireshark and tcpdump.
- Strong proficiency in TCP/IP, DNS, BGP/OSPF, multi-layered firewalls, and low-latency infrastructure design.
- Solid understanding of cybersecurity protocols, firewall configuration, IAM, and security for distributed high-performance computing clusters.
- Foundational knowledge of CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171 framework goals.
- Experience in Linux IT development, support, and DevOps.
- U.S. citizenship is required due to defense-related compliance regulations.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work as a team player.
- Unquestionable ethics, including treating people with respect, keeping commitments, inspiring trust, and acting with integrity.
- Commitment to the company's core values of Leadership, Innovation, Communication, Persistence, Enthusiasm, and Respect.
Nice To Haves
