Cloud Ops Engineer

Job Responsibility: Join the Metrics Team and be a Part of Exciting EDA Advancements

At Metrics, we're pioneering a new approach to EDA … we call it EDA as a Service. We're innovators in EDA tools and design flows like traditional EDA vendors, but we're taking it to the cloud. We're leading the way and our future keeps getting bigger and brighter!

The Metrics engineering team is based in Ottawa, Canada with additional offices in the US, India, and China and includes simulation technologists, FPGA and ASIC design experts, modern cloud technology and UI/UX developers, and FPGA and ASIC design solution architects. This unique combination of diverse skills and shared vision has led to Metrics' successful first product - the Metrics Cloud Platform.

As we grow, we're looking for engineers who share in our belief in EDA as a Service and want to contribute to expanding our products to include a complete RTL to GDSII design flow in the cloud. Working at Metrics allows you to expand your EDA skills and experience to include modern technologies like Docker containers and Kubernetes cluster orchestration.
