Performance Optimization (20%)
  • Analyze and optimize the performance of AI models and HPC applications, focusing on GPU-enabled computing.
  • Implement parallel processing, distributed computing, and resource management techniques for efficient job execution.

Integration and Optimization (15%)
  • Develop, debug, and maintain software tools, libraries, and frameworks supporting HPC and AI workloads.
  • Collaborate with the system team and software vendors (e.g., NVIDIA, Intel, Matlab) to optimize systems for maximum performance.
  • Utilize CUDA, DNN, TensorRT, and Intel Compilers to enhance system performance.

HPC Scientific Software Support (30%)
  • Manage and support scientific software deployment across HPC, cloud-based, and colocation facilities.
  • Oversee installation, configuration, and maintenance of HPC packages with tools like CMake, Make, EasyBuild, Spack, and Lua module files.

Collaboration and Mentorship (5%)
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including researchers, data scientists, and software developers, to address complex HPC/AI challenges.
  • Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of continuous learning.

Technical Support and Training Workshops and Troubleshooting (15%)
  • Resolve complex technical issues and perform root cause analysis for HPC/AI software challenges.
  • Implement effective solutions to prevent recurrence and improve system reliability
  • Provide training workshops for researchers and students, focusing on troubleshooting, optimizing workflows, and effectively using HPC systems.

Learning and Development (5%)
  • Stay current with advances in HPC and AI technologies and methodologies.
  • Incorporate new research findings into existing systems to improve performance and capabilities.

Container Orchestration (5%)
  • Develop and manage container orchestration strategies to ensure scalability, reliability, and security of applications.
  • Oversee the container lifecycle from creation and deployment to scaling and removal.

Documentation and Compliance (5%)
  • Create comprehensive documentation for system designs, performance metrics, and project status.
  • Ensure compliance with security and regulatory standards for all HPC and AI systems.

Other duties as assigned.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Master's degree in computer science or a closely related quantitative discipline.
  • Five years of experience in HPC user support, software deployment, and performance optimization within an academic or research environment.
