EDA Silicon Infrastructure Manager, Annapurna ML
About the role
Annapurna Labs is seeking an Engineering Manager to define the strategic direction, roadmap, and execution for EDA infrastructure supporting SoC, IP, physical design, and verification teams. The position manages a team of 6–10 engineers while remaining technically hands-on in architecting Linux-based compute clusters, storage, networking, and cloud-enabled hybrid platforms for AWS custom silicon development.
What you'll do
- Build, mentor, and manage a team of 6–10 software development and systems engineers across globally distributed silicon development environments.
- Define the multi-year roadmap, strategy, and success metrics for EDA infrastructure, aligning priorities with pre-silicon, post-silicon, and systems teams.
- Guide the architecture and evolution of compute, storage, networking, and scheduling infrastructure (LSF, Slurm, Kubernetes) supporting flows from RTL through GDSII signoff.
- Own platform delivery, reliability, SLOs, capacity planning, and cost optimization for AWS cloud infrastructure and high-performance computing clusters.
- Establish incident management frameworks, participate in architecture reviews, on-call rotations, and deep dives, and lead operational postmortems.
- Drive standardization and automation through self-service platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code to streamline workspace provisioning and onboarding.
What you'll need
- Experience in people management leading engineering teams responsible for computing systems, platforms, or developer tooling.
- Hands-on technical background in architecting and operating Linux-based compute clusters, storage, and networking for high-performance computing (HPC).
- Experience with workload scheduling technologies such as LSF, Slurm, or Kubernetes.
- Experience delivering cloud infrastructure and services on AWS.
- Background supporting silicon development flows and EDA workloads spanning simulation, synthesis, place-and-route, STA, DFT, emulation, or verification.
- Experience implementing automation, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD pipelines.

How we counted: 1034 open Infrastructure/Platform Software (Infrastructure Platform) roles from 94 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Software, Firmware & Systems family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
