About the role

Senior compute platform engineer specializing in LSF internals within NVIDIA's EDA compute environment. Responsible for owning and tuning federated LSF cells, diagnosing multi-cluster forwarding issues, designing cell topology, encoding scheduler policies, and coordinating with IaC, CAD, and methodology teams for large-scale, high-memory, interactive-vs-batch workloads.

Responsibilities

  • Owning scheduler behavior across 15–25 federated LSF cells, including mbatchd and mbschd tuning, scheduling cycle analysis, and contention patterns near host-count ceilings.
  • Diagnosing MultiCluster forwarding problems — remote queue sizing, forwarding policy, cross-cluster pend behavior.
  • Setting the technical design for cell topology and federation as the farm grows, and deciding what belongs in a cell versus what belongs in a new one.
  • Working with our IaC engineer to encode scheduler policy into a config schema that survives contact with MultiCluster.
  • Partnering directly with CAD and methodology teams on workloads that break normal assumptions: 500GB+ memory jobs, interactive-versus-batch contention, and tape-out crunch bursts.

Qualifications

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
