DescriptionSandia's Advanced Architecture Platforms Administration Team develops, deploys, and manages testbed hardware in support of high performance computing (HPC) application research and development. The team manages ground breaking, one-off, and experimental hardware clusters, as well as standard systems that use unique software stacks. Members of the team work with local colleagues at Sandia, as well as collaborators at other Department of Energy laboratories and industry partners.
In this role, you will apply your existing knowledge of Linux systems on scientific or data analysis clusters to maintain and improve existing and future scientific computing testbed resources. You will work with all aspects of cluster management, from cabling new clusters, to compiling and testing kernel drivers for new hardware, to creating automation that keeps the testbeds running efficiently. This is an outstanding opportunity to partner with researchers and vendors to explore and influence technical directions and drive transformation in how scientific and national security applications use computing in the coming decade and beyond.
This position is primarily on-site at Sandia’s Albuquerque, New Mexico site, with some telecommuting permitted. Sandia provides generous relocation benefits for successful candidates. This job is posted at the level of Information Systems Architect (Experienced).
Every day will be different in our team, but typical activities include:
Collaborate with research and development staff, colleagues, and vendors to build and maintain testbed resources for testing novel networking, accelerators, scientific software workflows, and other technologies
Develop new operational methodologies and design of infrastructure to enable efficient operations of multiple, concurrent, emerging technology and prototype HPC Clusters
With the full testbeds team, maintain all system aspects of security, networks, filesystems, system software installation, and user support
Participate in all aspects of the HPC system lifecycle including facility integration, standup, acceptance testing, performance benchmarking, operational support, and reclamation.
