High-Performance Computing (HPC) Architect

Your Opportunity

As an HPC Architect, you will get the opportunity toarchitect high-performancecomputingsolutions from scratch and design/optimize all aspects (Compute, Memory, Networking, Storage) for better cost of Ownership.

Roles and Responsibility

• As an architect, you will be responsible fordesigning HPC infrastructure solutions, including compute, networking, storage, and workload management components.

• You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including Hardware, Software, product management, and business stakeholders, to understandcomputeworkload and translate theminto Platformarchitecture and designs that meet business needs.

• You will create and maintain detailed system architecture diagrams and specifications.

• You will evaluate and select appropriate hardware and software components for HPC environments

• You will Install, configure, and maintain HPC systems, including hardware, software, and networking components

• You will develop and implement automation scripts for system management and deployment.

• You will be a subject Matter expert to unblock dependent teams in the HPC domain.

• You will be expected to develop system benchmarks, profile systems to understand bottlenecks, optimize workflows and processes to improve cost of ownership.

• Identify and mitigate technical risks and issues throughout the HPC development life cycle.

• Ensure that ComputeCluster is resilient, reliable, and maintainable.

• You will be expected to stay abreast of the latest HPC technologies, including Hardware, Software and Networking Solutions

• Your primary focus will be to understand thecomputeworkload and design HPC cluster with right combination of Nodes, CPU/GPU, Memory, Interconnects and storageto have optimum performance at minimum cost of Ownership.
