Research Engineer (m/f/d) for DevOps and Design Infrastructure

2026-04-29T13:32:51+02:00

The position:
We are looking for a technically skilled engineer to join the System Architectures Department as our in-house interface to the central IT infrastructure. You will be responsible for setting up, maintaining, and operating the full technical stack our research and development work depends on — from bare-metal servers and EDA tool environments to design flows and compute cluster management. The goal is to ensure our teams get what they need, when they need it.
Beyond operations, you will help us turn our hardware development infrastructure into a living data source. By extracting, structuring, and processing data from our design flows and tools, you will enable real-time insight into our development processes — an area with genuine research potential and the possibility of contributing to publications. As our in-house DevOps engineer, you will build and operate the technical foundation our hardware development teams rely on:

Setup and administration of servers, operating systems, and virtualization environments

EDA tool and HW development flow management, including license administration

Repository management and CI/CD pipelines for hardware and software IP

AI compute cluster management, including resource allocation and user access

Beyond infrastructure operations, you will help us make our design data actionable. This includes extracting, structuring, and processing data from our development flows and tools so that we can monitor, analyze, and act on it in real time:

Data governance, modeling, and IP inventory management

Database setup and maintenance for design and flow data

Metadata enrichment and data pipeline development

Evaluation of tools and frameworks for data management and visualization

Development of internal dashboards and interfaces for live monitoring of infrastructure and design flows
