Siemens Energy

A Snapshot of Your Day
Your day begins with a deep dive into the state of the Linux-based High Performance Computing (HPC) environment. You review system metrics, load, I/O performance, logs, and alerts to detect potential bottlenecks early and ensure stable daily operations. You then focus on enabling your colleagues to work smoothly by handling incidents and service requests, supporting users with Linux OS, filesystem, scheduler, or access-related issues, and ensuring systems and shared resources perform reliably. System-level troubleshooting—such as analyzing filesystem performance, scheduler behavior, network latency, or unexpected application behavior—is a regular part of your role. Alongside daily operations, you contribute to the HPC development roadmap by exploring new technologies, bringing in new ideas, and continuously learning to support evolving requirements. Automation, scripting, documentation, and collaboration with internal and global teams are central to ensuring a secure, efficient, and future-ready HPC environment.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Provide sustained Linux and HPC operational support for daily operations, incidents, and service requests across compute, storage, and user environments.
• Perform Linux system administration tasks, including installation, configuration, patching, updates, and maintenance of Linux servers supporting HPC workloads.
• Troubleshoot issues across Linux OS, HPC compute nodes, schedulers, filesystems, networks, and applications, ensuring minimal disruption to users.
• Collaborate with internal teams and global stakeholders to support operational needs and ongoing improvements while adhering to ITIL-based incident and service management practices.
• Ensure operational stability, performance, and user satisfaction of HPC platforms through strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Diagnose and resolve vague or incomplete user requests, working closely with end users to enhance their experience.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum relevant 3 years of professional experience in HPC-focused Linux administration and automation, with hands-on experience supporting engineering simulation workloads.
• Strong Linux system administration skills with experience on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and compatible distributions.
• Knowledge of HPC cluster concepts, including compute nodes, login nodes, storage, and shared environments, along with familiarity with cluster management and job scheduling systems (e.g., PBS).
• Strong scripting and automation skills using Bash, Python, and Ansible to support operational efficiency and reliability.
• Good communication skills, a positive attitude, and a high degree of ownership, adaptability, and collaborative mindset, with the ability to work effectively across time zones.
