Work with cutting‑edge applications that help advance the mission as a HPC Computational Scientist r work will be fully immersed in our client’s domain to deliver simple solutions for complex needs. At GDIT, you’ll prioritize the client while we prioritize your career.

At GDIT, people are our differentiator. As a HPC Computational Scientist supporting the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) User Productivity Enhancement and Training (PET) in Dayton, OH, you will help ensure today is safe and tomorrow is smarter. Our work depends on a HPC Computational Scientist joining our team to solve the complex HPC challenges for DoW scientists and engineers.

The HPCMP PET team was created to provide expert computational support for users of the supercomputing systems within the DoW. The team serves as a customer‑facing presence for the DoW science and technology community, providing SME advice for new initiatives, ongoing projects, and support needs.

• Engage with the HPC community to build an understanding of HPC needs (current and future) and stay current with new technology solutions and optimizations.
• Drive exploration and innovation of new technologies and capabilities relevant to HPC computing and collaborate with other technical teams to evaluate for future implementation.
• Adopt an innovative mindset: push to understand needs in‑depth and think broadly and creatively about solutions.
• Organize: track and manage tasks across concurrent efforts with different customer groups, and ensure delivery is on schedule and as planned.
• Build and maintain trust with our team and customer base.
• Understand (at a high level) what is driving research and how HPC can best support and enable it.
• Attend or lead meetings and discussions with team members and customers to troubleshoot complicated technical problems and brainstorm ways to continuously improve our services.
• Work closely with other team members and your Team Lead to enhance and expand fundamental HPC capabilities and complete technical projects.
• Occasionally present to senior leadership on HPC best practices, new and interesting cloud technologies, other relevant advances (such as AI & ML), and ways you approached and solved challenging technical issues.

• Education:
  
  Master of Science (PhD preferred).
• Experience:
  
  3+ years of related experience (minimum of 2 years of relevant HPC experience).
• Technical
  
  Skills:
  
  Experience working on technology projects, including meeting schedule on time and managing customer expectations; familiarity with commonly used HPC services (i.e. high performance file systems, modules for installing applications, compilers, MPI, OpenMP, profiling tools); writing code for use on HPCs.
• Security Clearance:
  Must be a U.S. citizen and be eligible for a Top Secret clearance.
• Skills and Abilities:
  
  Ability to clearly present ideas to both technical and non‑technical users; experience analyzing solution components, understanding systems integration challenges, and identifying technology gaps to reach performance targets and functionality requirements.
• Preferred
  
  Skills:
  
  Background in Computer Science or physics‑based computation (e.g. computational structural mechanics, computational electromagnetics and acoustics, computational fluid dynamics).
• Location:
  
  Dayton, OH (Hybrid).

• Full‑flex work week to own your priorities at work and at home.
• 401K with company match.
• Comprehensive health and wellness packages.
