SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND ANALYSIS

SAIC is looking for a highly qualified HPC Systems Engineer to support the Army's Golden Dome initiative. The engineer will support the deployment and sustainment of Linux-based High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster environments used for distributed compute workloads, simulation environments, and GPU-enabled processing.

multi-node Linux compute clusters

workload scheduling platforms such as Slurm or PBS

high-performance networking technologies including RDMA / InfiniBand

The system will be used to support scientific computing, simulation workloads, and other distributed compute operations within a secure research environment.

Candidates should be comfortable working within cluster-scale computing environments where performance, scheduler configuration, and distributed workload execution are critical operational factors.

The HPC Systems Engineer will support the build-out, configuration, and sustainment of HPC cluster platforms.
