QA Automation Software Engineer

Job Description

We are forming a new team in a new location with a new domain, real challenges are you ready?

Since the inception of Electronic Design Automation we at Siemens EDA have been writing software to assist the best silicon design companies in the world to build the next generation chips through our suite of software called Calibre. As the chip designs get more powerful encouraged by Moore’s Law our problem equally scales!

When a single designer needs over a thousand cores to aid their design then the solution is HPC in the Cloud. We are recruiting for a broad cloud software development role as part of the Cloud Enablement SW team.

We are in the process of developing a platform that will enable these large workloads to be carried out efficiently across the various Cloud Platforms and in hybrid ground to cloud environments. The work is as varied as it is interesting developing everything from cloud orchestration elements to mirrored Linux filesystems. When the domain is infrastructure and process orchestration the testing frameworks can be more challenging that the unit under test.

While all members of the Scrum team contribute towards the testing effort we have a need for a team member that can bring additional depth to this area.
