Description for HPC Software Engineer 3 :

The HPC Software Engineer designs, develops, tests, deploys, documents, maintains, and enhances complex and diverse software for HPC (high performance computing) systems based upon documented requirements.

Critical for an HSE is either a very strong math background and / or a very strong computer hardware background. One or both of these is required in order for the HSE to be able to understand the intricacies of the HPC architecture that is being targeted by the software being developed, or to understand the complex mathematical principles which underlie the software applications being developed.

The HPC systems might include, but are not limited to, processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets, real-time systems, and systems which incorporate data repositories, data transport services, and application and systems development and monitoring.

Works individually or as part of a team. Reviews and tests software components for adherence to the design requirements and documents test results.

Resolves software problem reports. Utilizes software development and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment.

Provides specific input to the software components of system design to include hardware / software trade-offs, software reuse, use of Open Source Software (OSS) and / or Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) / Government Off-The- Shelf (GOTS) software in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components.

Working knowledge of Configuration Management (CM) tools and Web Services implementation.

Required Skills :

• Will use system metrics and logs to find trends and answer questions on both status and performance
• Will analyze telemetry data to prepare for events like hardware failures
• Needs to be a self-starter since this is a new role and is not currently happening in the org
• Data Analysis background is needed to be successful
• Day to Day will include collaborating with hardware, software, and systems engineers to frame questions about and interpret the results in data;
• create analytics that be used to answer questions of the data, for example linear dependence between subsets of data (power draw + work load), confusion matrix to discover correlations across data;

multi-dimensional regression models

Will need to have or quickly learn Linux, Git, Splunk, Data Analysis and tools, Scripting (Bash, Python)

Required Qualifications :

Bachelor’s degree in Math, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus seven (7) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.

Master’s degree in Math, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus five (5) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.

Nine (9) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
