DescriptionWhat your job will be like:
As an HPC-HTC (High Performance High Throughput Computing) Software Specialist, you will work closely with hardware manufacturers, scientists, operations and networking teams in projects that develop and deploy software solutions that support complex, compute intensive workloads, parallel filesystems and low latency networks. The specialist will be an innovator who can work as part of a team of skilled professionals, can brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, thrive in ambiguity, able to map trade spaces, able to drive a concept into a prototype, and can envision how a prototype could transition into cutting-edge science.
In this role you will:
- Coordinate with hardware manufacturers, scientists, engineers and application developers to architect solutions that fully leverage computing resources and are orders of magnitude faster than the alternatives, while also much easier to use
- Produce written documentation for diverse audiences, including system administrators, lab management, peers, and professional organizations
