HPC Engineer

Junior HPC Engineer – Full Time

We’re looking for a Junior HPC Engineer to help support and grow the infrastructure behind high-performance simulation and data-intensive workloads. This is a great opportunity to build your career in high-performance computing, working alongside experienced engineers while learning how to optimize systems used in cutting-edge science and engineering.

You’ll gain exposure to technologies that power large-scale modeling, including FEA, and data-driven research, and develop your skills across Linux systems, compute clusters, and workload management tools.

Responsibilities:

• Assist in the setup, monitoring, and maintenance of HPC clusters, storage, and interconnects.
• Support Linux system administration tasks (RHEL, Rocky), with a focus on stability and uptime.
• Help configure and troubleshoot workload managers such as Slurm.
• Work with senior engineers to monitor performance of key applications and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Contribute to scripting and automation tasks (Bash, Python) to streamline system operations.
• Support end-users by responding to tickets, preparing documentation, and guiding researchers on best practices.
• Learn about parallel computing concepts (MPI, OpenMP, GPU acceleration) and apply them under guidance.

Experience/Skills:

• Familiarity with Linux systems and command-line usage.
• Basic knowledge of scripting (Bash and/or Python).
• Exposure to bare metal environments (installing, configuring, and troubleshooting physical servers).
• Interest in high-performance computing, scientific computing, or distributed systems.
• Eagerness to learn about workload managers (Slurm or similar).
• Good problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot technical issues.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

This role is ideal for someone early in their career who wants to grow your HPC skills and knowledge. You’ll be supported with mentoring, hands-on experience, and opportunities to develop expertise in cluster management, performance tuning, and advanced HPC environments.
