High-Performance Computing (HPC) Architect

Job Description

Your Opportunity As an HPC Architect , you will get the opportunity to architect high-performance computing solutions from scratch and design/ optimize all aspects (Compute , Memory, Network ing , 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. Our Ideal Candidate Someone who has the drive and passion to learn quickly , has the ability to multi- task and switch contexts based on business needs . Qualifications In-depth experience with Linux System administration and Hardware/Software Configuration. Strong knowledge of HPC technologies including cluster computing, high speed interconnects (InfiniBand, RoCE), parallel filesystems (Lustre, GPFS, BeeGFSetc) Experience in creating, maintaining Operating System images with different installation and boot schemes Extremely good with automation tools like Ansible, Chef, Salt-Stack and Scripting languages (Python and Bash) Experience in Creating,maintaining Storage Solutions with different RAID configuration. Ability to design storage solution for different IOPS, Access patterns (Random vs Sequential RW) and tune storage and filesystemsfor better performance. Good of knowledgeNetworking concepts including IP addressing, routing, protocols and Switch configuration for RDMA, VLAN configuration, network bonding etc. Good Knowledge Virtualization, Hardware and Software Hypervisors Good knowledge of containerization technologies like docker, singularity. Experience in Software Defined Networking and Storage. Experience in setting-up remote management protocols like IPMI, Redfish etc. Experience in setting-up and using monitoring systems like Prometheus, Grafana. Experience System profiling and custom tuningfor targetworkloadfor higher performance and low cost of ownership Very good written and verbal communication skills. Very goodinTechnical documentation meant to serve as manuals for non-experts in the field. Additional Qualifications: Experience in HPC Cluster management and Work-load orchestration software (e.g.SLURM, Torque, LSF) Experience in Setting-up Deep-learning training/inference solutions. Experience in Private cloud infrastructure like Kubernetes, OpenStack,CloudStack etc. Experience in DistributedHigh Performance Computing and Parallel programming frameworks Good knowledge of Low-latency and high-throughput data transfer technologies(RDMA on RoCE, InfiniBand) Education : Bachelor's Degree or higher in Computer science or related Disciplines.
