DescriptionHPC Storage Infrastructure Engineer - 97183
Division: NE-NERSC
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s (LBNL, https://www.lbl.gov/) NERSC Division has an opening for an HPC Storage Infrastructure Engineer to join the team.
In this exciting role, you will join the Storage Systems Group which is made up of system engineers and programmers providing NERSC’s 300 petabyte High Performance Storage System and 100+ petabyte center-wide, parallel file systems. Our storage systems are utilized by more than 8,000 scientists who use NERSC to perform unclassified, scientific research across a wide range of disciplines, including climate modeling, research into new materials, simulations of the early universe, high energy physics and a host of other scientific endeavors. You will participate in regular cross-team efforts to integrate our storage systems with NERSC’s computational and networking infrastructure, troubleshoot performance issues at scale, and develop innovative solutions to continuously optimize operational and user productivity. The HPC Storage Infrastructure Engineer will also work with peers at other leading HPC facilities and vendor engineering teams to evaluate emerging storage technologies and define future directions for deployment.
What You Will Do:
• Monitor, administer, and optimize NERSC’s distributed parallel file systems, block storage arrays, and auxiliary Linux-based storage servers.
• Analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve complex problems that arise in NERSC's production storage hardware, software systems, storage networks and systems that utilize NERSC storage systems.
• Assist with architecting and evaluating storage systems and technologies based on analysis of user requirements, storage industry trends, and system monitoring and telemetry.
• Participate in the planning and execution of cross-team maintenance activities, upgrades, and deployments at scale.
• Provide off-hours emergency support in a shared, on-call rotation for a subset of NERSC storage systems.
Additional Responsibilities as needed:
• Prepare timely documentation, papers, and presentations describing best practices and experiences at scale for dissemination within NERSC and throughout the broader HPC community.
• Assess emerging technologies in architecture, device technology, and high-performance I/O APIs to provide input for HPC system procurements and DOE technology roadmaps.
• Proactively seek opportunities to collaborate with researchers, operators, and vendors across the global HPC community to apply the best ideas and solutions to solving NERSC's technical challenges.
