DevOps Engineer (Verification Tools) (1282)

If you're passionate about automation, verification tools, and Linux administration, we welcome you to join RAD's innovative verification engineering group.

Location:

This is a full-time position based in Be'er Sheva with the option of working from home work 1 day per week.

Responsibilities:

Jenkins CI Management: Install, configure, and maintain Jenkins servers and regression jobs. Ensure high availability and optimal Jenkins performance.

Pipeline & Automation Development: Create and optimize CI/CD pipelines (using Jenkins Groovy scripts) and automation scripts (Python, Bash, csh) to streamline verification workflows.

Cadence vManager Integration: Plan and execute future integration of Cadence vManager with Jenkins for enhanced regression management and reporting.

Linux Systems Administration: Oversee Linux server installation, configuration, and maintenance. Manage user credentials and permissions, ensuring secure and organized access for verification engineers.

Server Monitoring: Continuously monitor Linux servers to ensure optimal performance, proactively resolving potential issues before they impact verification tasks.

Reporting: Automate and maintain verification reports and dashboards, clearly summarizing regression results, test outcomes, and coverage metrics.

Collaboration: Work closely with ASIC/FPGA verification engineers and other R&D team members to support verification tool usage, troubleshoot environment issues, and improve verification processes based on team feedback.

Requirements:

Experience: Mid to senior-level experience (3+ years) in DevOps, CI/CD, or Linux systems engineering roles supporting hardware or software verification environments

Linux Proficiency: Extensive hands-on experience with Linux installations, configurations, user account, and credential management. Comfortable managing secure shell environments, networking, software installations, and troubleshooting Linux servers.

Jenkins Expertise: Proven experience installing and managing Jenkins CI environments, including pipeline creation (Groovy DSL), plugin management, node configurations, and optimization for heavy workloads.

Scripting Skills: Proficient in automation scripting with Python, Bash, Groovy, and csh for managing verification workflows, environment setups, and maintenance tasks.

CI/CD Knowledge: Familiarity with continuous integration and deployment methodologies to integrate tools into automated verification processes.

Communication: Effective communication skills, capable of documenting processes clearly and collaborating within a technical team environment.

Education: B.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

ASIC/FPGA Verification Knowledge: Experience in hardware verification or design is an advantage, especially familiarity with SystemVerilog UVM and/or Specman (e language) and participation in peak ASIC verification activities.

Cadence Tools Experience: Experience with Cadence tools like vManager, Xcelium simulator, or Specman, particularly integrating them into CI environments, is a plus.

Distributed Computing: Managing compute farms or job schedulers (e.g., LSF) to distribute verification workloads efficiently would be beneficial.

Additional Tools/Scripting: Knowledge of scripting languages or infrastructure-as-code tools is an advantage, with a willingness to learn and apply new technologies.

DevOps in Hardware Environment: Experience in semiconductor or ASIC/FPGA environments is a plus, particularly an understanding of the unique CI/CD challenges in hardware verification.
