Requisition Id 16429 **Overview:** We are hiring a HPC Systems Engineer to design, operate and maintain clusters, servers, and workstations supporting services where science happens at ORNL! This position resides in the Emerging Technologies & Computing team in the Research Computing group in the Information Technology Services Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The Emerging Technology Computational Group facilitates ORNL goals through HPC systems engineering, integration, and support for the research community at ORNL. By providing design, deployment, optimization, monitoring, and tooling support across multiple clustered infrastructures, we facilitate Lab-wide R&D projects. Our HPC clusters range in scope from just a handful of nodes to over fifty-thousand cores. We partner with ORNL research organizations to enable research excellence and delivery. We work with other clustered computing and HPC groups to help research programs identify the best solutions for their needs. When we build our customer's environments, our team collaborates to design, implement, and maintain the systems from inception to retirement. **Major Duties/Responsibilities:** - Advocate and promote HPC and clustered computing services to researchers who process large data sets and/or develop code as a part of their project. - Ensure the availability, performance, scalability, and security of production systems. - Leverage automation and monitoring solutions that minimize our day-to-day maintenance and scout opportunities to optimize system management practices or system performance. - Collaborate with technical POCs for the programs that we support to install and help tune the performance of various scientific toolsets. - Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service.
