Build automation for storage provisioning, monitoring, and management using Python, Perl, Bash, and Ansible to cut down manual work and keep things consistent
Troubleshoot complex storage and Linux system issues—performance bottlenecks, connectivity problems, configuration drift across NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FCP, and S3
Design and implement storage solutions in public cloud environments, bringing together on-premises infrastructure with cloud-native storage services
Lead storage architecture projects from evaluation through deployment, including capacity planning, vendor selection, migration execution, and mentoring junior engineers
The Impact You Will Have
The architecture decisions made here directlydeterminewhether engineering teams can scale their workloads or hit storage bottlenecks that slow down product development
The automation frameworks built willeliminatehundreds of hours of manual provisioning work each quarter, freeing IT resources for higher-value work
Performance tuning ensures that semiconductor design workflows, which generate massive I/O loads, run predictably and efficiently
Strong troubleshooting skills reduce storage-related incidents and mean time to resolution, keeping engineering teams productive
The standards and documentation created will shape how storage is architected and managed across Synopsys IT for years to come.
What You'll Need
8+ years of hands-on experience architecting and managing enterprise SAN/NAS solutions in production environments
Deep technical knowledge of NetApp, Pure Storage, and EMC/Isilon platforms—deployment, configuration, and performance optimization
Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to diagnose complex system and storage issues at the OS and protocol level
Real experienceautomating infrastructure tasks using Python, Perl, Bash, and Ansible in production environments, plus working knowledge of NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, FCP, and S3 protocols
Experience with public cloud storage services (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and integrating cloud storage into hybrid architectures.Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Who You Are
When storage performance tanks, three questions and the right logs are usually enough toidentifywhetherit'sa network issue, a misconfigured LUN, or an application problem
Automation scripts written are readable and maintainable—other engineers can pick them up andmodifythem six months later without a translation guide
Pushing back is part of the job when someone asks for a storage solution without explaining workload characteristics, capacity growth, or performance requirements
Managing multiple architecture projects at once, each at a different stage, without losing track of dependencies or timelines comes naturally
Technical tradeoffs are communicated clearly to both engineers and IT leadership, explaining why one storage platform makes sense for a given use case without getting lost in vendor marketing
The Team You'll Be Part Of
This role joins the team responsible for managing Synopsys' global enterprise storage infrastructure across data centers worldwide. The team's mission is to keep engineering and R&D environments running efficiently by ensuring storage availability, maintaining enterprise storage platforms, and providing infrastructure support that internal engineering teams depend on every day. The work directly enables semiconductor design workflows that power the company's product development.
