At GDIT, people are our differentiator. Our work depends on a Senior HPC Systems Engineer joining our team to support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputer System (WCOSS). This position is remote with some travel required.

WCOSS provides NOAA the operational High Performance Computing (HPC) resources essential to process sophisticated numerical models used to predict and understand atmospheric and oceanic phenomena for weather and climate operational use. Operating 24/7, the next 10-year WCOSS program will deliver significant computational capability that will evolve over time to keep pace with NOAA’s growing environmental modeling needs.

We think. We act. We deliver. There is no challenge we can’t turn into opportunity.

In this role, a typical day will include:

• Applying current HPC systems administrative skills; desire to learn and deploy new technologies.

• Developing and deploying monitoring capabilities.

• Developing and implementing tools for cluster administration.

• Providing technical support with team of HPC System & Storage Administrators to resolve operational issues.

• Providing off-hour on-call support on a rotating basis.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent and 10+ years of related experience (5+ years of experience with HPC systems operations highly preferred).

• Parallel filesystem configuration and monitoring experience (e.g., Lustre, NFS).

• Batch management/scheduling experience, PBSpro preferred.

• Experience working in a 24X7 operational environment.

• U.S. Citizenship is required.

DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Demonstrated experience to deploy and manage large-scale HPC systems using OS provisioning tools (e.g., xCat).

• Demonstrated experience using configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Puppet).

• Linux system administration experience (e.g., SLES, RedHat or CentOS).

• Network interconnect configuration and monitoring experience (e.g., Infiniband, Ethernet).

• Programming or scripting in at least two languages (e.g., Bash, Perl, Python, C).

• Strong writing skills for technical documents, system procedures, user wiki’s and FAQs.

• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
