HPC Software Engineer 3

The HPC Software Engineer designs, develops, tests, deploys, documents, maintains, and enhances complex and diverse software for HPC (high-performance computing) systems based upon documented requirements. Critical for an HSE is either a very strong math background and/or a very strong computer hardware background. One or both of these is required in order for the HSE to be able to understand the intricacies of the HPC architecture that is being targeted by the software being developed, or to understand the complex mathematical principles that underlie the software applications being developed. The HPC systems might include, but are not limited to, processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets, real-time systems, and systems that incorporate data repositories, data transport services, and application and systems development and monitoring. Works individually or as part of a team. Reviews and tests software components for adherence to the design requirements and documents test results. Resolves software problem reports. Utilizes software development and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment. Provides specific input to the software components of system design to include hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, use of Open Source Software (OSS) and/or Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS)/Government Off-The- Shelf (GOTS) software in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components. Working knowledge of Configuration Management (CM) tools and Web Services implementation.

The project represents a growing group of efforts targeted at understanding the performance limitations encountered by FOSS, COTS, and GOTS software, frameworks, and tools deployed on High Performance Computers. Team members design, build, deploy, test, and interpret output from metrics collection capabilities to identify performance limiters and develop courses of action to overcome them. Test results are used to inform software modification, deployment of alternate software architectures, and hardware architecture enhancement.

Example tasks include:

• Design, document, and execute tests of FOSS, COTS, and GOTS software architectures to determine what aspects of the software and/or computer infrastructure are limiting performance.
• Research and identify metrics necessary to understand performance limitations of the software and/or computer infrastructure to support testing.
• Research and identify monitoring necessary to support timely alerting of infrastructure and software failures encountered during testing.
• Identify hardware and software failure trends and develop mitigations encountered during testing.
• Perform root cause analysis.
• Work with the customer metrics and monitoring team to introduce new metrics capabilities to support testing.
• Modify the software architecture and/or develop new software capabilities to overcome performance limitations encountered during testing.
• Experience with the distributed computing FOSS software frameworks below is beneficial. Apache Spark, Dask, Ray
• Experience developing software in the languages below is beneficial.
• Python, Scala, Java, C

Required Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Math, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus seven (7) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
• Master's degree in Math, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus five (5) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
• Nine (9) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
• Active TS/SCI security clearance with a current polygraph is required.
