We are looking for a **HPC clusters**:
**What is it?**
An **HPC CAE Analyst** (High-Performance Computing Analyst for Computer-Aided Engineering) is a specialist in high-performance computing systems who manages and optimizes computational infrastructures to run complex engineering simulations. Their work accelerates product development in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and energy, where large-scale calculations and advanced modeling are required.
**How do they do it?**
- **Manages HPC clusters**, using job schedulers like SLURM, PBS, or AWS ParallelCluster to efficiently distribute workloads across hundreds or thousands of processing cores.
- **Automates processes** with Python and Bash scripts, streamlining repetitive tasks such as the installation of CAE software (ANSYS, NASTRAN, OpenFOAM) or system performance monitoring.
- **Advises users** (engineers, scientists) on how to run their jobs more efficiently, fine-tuning parameters to reduce computation time and operational costs.
**General activities**:
1. **HPC Cluster Management and Optimization**
- Configure, maintain, and scale HPC clusters (on-premises or cloud-based).
- Optimize resource allocation (CPU/GPU, memory, storage) for parallel workloads.
- Manage job schedulers (SLURM, PBS, AWS ParallelCluster) to prioritize critical tasks.
2. **Technical Support and Troubleshooting**
- Diagnose and resolve hardware failures (nodes, networking, storage).
- Fix software errors (OS, drivers, scientific libraries).
3. **Automation and Scripting**




- Develop Bash/Python scripts to:
- Automate CAE software deployments (ANSYS, OpenFOAM).
- Monitor cluster performance (CPU/GPU usage, network latency).
- Generate HPC metrics reports (utilization, efficiency).
4. **CAE User Support**
- Advise engineers/scientists on:
- Optimal simulation setups (MPI/OpenMP parallelization).
- Efficient resource usage (avoid crashes due to misconfiguration).
- Train users in HPC/CAE tools (workshops, technical documentation).
5. **Scientific Software Maintenance**
- Manage runtime environments (Environment Modules/Lmod).
- Integrate scientific libraries (Intel MKL, CUDA, OpenMPI).
6. **Security and Compliance**
- Manage user access (LDAP/Active Directory) and storage quotas.
- Ensure backups of critical data (simulation files, configurations).
7. **Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams**
- Work with IT teams to scale infrastructure.
- Coordinate with development engineers to optimize CAE code performance.
- Document procedures (Wiki, Confluence) to standardize operations.
**Requirements**:
**Bachelor's degree in**:
- Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Electrical Engineering (with a focus on HPC/CAE), Physics or Applied Mathematics (with experience in technical computing).
