This role involves managing the lifecycle of scientific software and module environments, overseeing storage and compute services, and troubleshooting complex issues related to networking and parallel filesystems. The candidate will mentor engineers, coordinate operational priorities, and collaborate with researchers to improve service delivery for biomedical research activities. Key technical requirements include expertise in Linux-based HPC environments, job schedulers like Slurm, and software management tools such as Spack or EasyBuild. Additionally, the role requires proficiency with container technologies like Apptainer or Docker, experience with cloud or hybrid environments, and a deep understanding of scientific computing workflows to support critical research outcomes for a federal health agency.

What you'll do

  • Provide technical leadership for the HPC engineering team supporting local scientific computing environments.
  • Oversee the administration, maintenance, and optimization of HPC systems, storage, and compute services.
  • Manage the installation, configuration, and lifecycle support of scientific software and module environments.
  • Support scheduler operations, resource management, and troubleshooting for user jobs and workflows.
  • Develop and document operational processes, standards, and best practices for HPC support.
  • Mentor engineers and coordinate team priorities to drive continuous improvement.
  • Serve as the primary escalation point for complex technical issues involving compute, storage, and networking.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, scientific computing, or a related field.
  • At least 5 years of experience in High Performance Computing (HPC).
  • Experience supporting and administering Linux-based HPC environments.
  • Experience with job schedulers such as Slurm and shared research computing environments.
  • Experience installing, optimizing, and supporting scientific software, compilers, libraries, and module systems.
  • Familiarity with storage systems, parallel filesystems, networking, and general HPC architecture.
  • Experience with container technologies such as Apptainer/Singularity or Docker.
  • Experience leading technical teams, coordinating work, or mentoring junior staff.
