Security Clearance Statement: This position requires a government security clearance, you must be a US Citizen for consideration. Clearance Level: TS/SCI w/Poly ## Description You will provide Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)/SE Linux based HPC services throughout the lifecycle for computational requirements, architecture, acquisition, and operations to federal government customers. The program provides key supercomputing capabilities for solving important problems in science and technology. This work involves working on cutting edge HPC technologies to ensure that scientists and engineers will be able to fully utilize modern HPC systems. We are seeking a mid-career level HPC Software Engineer that will work in a High Performance Computing (HPC) Research and Development (R&D) customer contract. The candidate will be an active member of the Technical User Support (TUS) team, interacting with the team, TUS team lead, program Chief Scientist, Customers, users, and site staff while on-site with a specific R&D customer. The TUS team is responsible for working with HPC users to achieve faster "time to science". You will work closely with the users to port, optimize, and parallelize codes to the users' requirements. You will mentor junior members of the TUS and broader HPC teams, providing technical guidance, code-review sessions, and career-development advice. You will also design and deliver training workshops, tutorials, and documentation to help end-users and internal staff adopt HPC tools, best-practice coding standards, and performance-tuning techniques. This position will be on-site with a specific customer focused on their workflow, modeling and simulation, and data requirements and working with the program Chief Scientist, TUS team lead, and others to design and implement solutions to meet the customer's requirements. You will also be involved in system performance analysis through benchmarking, tuning libraries, and generally focused on scientific modeling, numerical processes, and other scientific software issues. You will investigate, analyze and make recommendations regarding user codes and other HPC software issues. The work will be done using best practices needed to take full advantage of the program's HPC resources, research storage systems, and secure computing environment. You are also responsible for helping users adapt to a production shared resource, its scheduling system, and its high performance data storage systems., Description: GXM is seeking a Digital Engineer to join our team to support advanced defense and space-related mission programs focused on Command and Control (C2), mission system… + 12 hours ago, Overview: The position of E&I Engineer will provide technical direction to assigned design efforts pre-and post-award of projects and will report to the Engineering Department Ma… + 3 days ago ## Related Videos - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [The weekly developer show: Boosting Python with CUDA, CSS Updates & Navigating New Tech Stacks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1293-the-weekly-developer-show-boosting-python-with-cuda-css-updates-navigating-new-tech-stacks) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) ## Related Articles - [Top 6 Hackathons for Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/263-top-6-hackathons-for-developers-in-2023) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges) - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany)
