TL;DR · HPC Systems Engineer

The HPC Systems Engineer joins the team building and maintaining large-scale high-performance computing infrastructure to support sensitive national security missions. This role involves architecting and deploying advanced GPU infrastructure, specifically managing NVIDIA H100, H200, and B200/B300 systems. Daily responsibilities include racking, cabling, and configuring multi-node GPU systems, as well as managing job schedulers like Slurm and cluster management software such as Warewulf and RunAI. The engineer will implement high-speed interconnects like InfiniBand/NDR, manage petabyte-scale storage platforms, and maintain application stacks including CUDA, PyTorch, and TensorFlow. Required expertise includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Ansible, and parallel file systems like Lustre or GPFS. The position focuses on solving complex hardware lifecycle and performance bottlenecks for large-scale distributed training and simulation workloads.

What you'll do

  • Architect and deploy advanced GPU infrastructure including NVIDIA H100, H200, and B200/B300 systems.
  • Rack, stack, cable, and configure physical servers and multi-node GPU systems from end to end.
  • Configure HPC and AI environments using job schedulers like Slurm and cluster management software.
  • Implement and fine-tune high-speed interconnects such as NVLink, NVSwitch, and InfiniBand/NDR.
  • Manage large-scale, high-performance storage platforms optimized for AI/ML data access patterns.
  • Install and maintain the application stack including CUDA, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and simulation software.
  • Troubleshoot complex system-wide issues related to application performance, compute nodes, and job queueing.
  • Monitor GPU health and performance using NVIDIA Data Center GPU Manager to resolve training bottlenecks.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in designing, developing, and implementing large scale compute enterprise systems and solutions.
  • Strong knowledge of HPC concepts including cluster architecture, file systems, and high-speed InfiniBand/Ethernet interconnections.
  • Proven expertise in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, HPC, GPU, or Azure/AWS cloud services.
  • Strong understanding and experience with systems automation tools such as Ansible, Salt, or Puppet.
  • Experience in HPC technologies such as parallel/distributed file systems like Lustre, GPFS, Pure, or VAST.
  • Working knowledge of HPC batch scheduler software such as PBSPro or SLURM.
  • Experience building HPC clusters in AWS or Azure.
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs and eligible to obtain and maintain a US Top Secret Clearance.
