What Your Job Will Be Like:

We are seeking an R&D S&E computational scientist/engineer to contribute to multiple projects as a member of Sandia's High‑Performance Computing (HPC) Systems department 9327. The successful candidate will team with Senior Scientists/Engineers and a talented group of HPC subject matter experts on leading‑edge R&D, developing new technologies and approaches to solving complex problems that have Laboratory and national impact. The candidate must be a recognized leader in their field with a demonstrated record of original contributions and will be expected to carry out R&D activities with significant technical contributions while supporting the group's production computing activities.

We are seeking an individual with deep experience in HPC that can represent Sandia HPC in the NNSA Tri‑Lab arena, wider Office of Science/DOE community, and at the national level. The individual will serve as a resource to users and peers, line management and Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) program management to achieve SNL's vision of the future for HPC.

Group 9320 has many direct‑funded ASC program activities that span the Tri‑Labs such as Advanced Technology Systems (ATS), Commodity Technology Systems (CTS), Common Computing Environment (CCE), and Remote Computing Enablement (RCE). An understanding of the ASC program, Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE), and the ability to work across the Tri‑Lab HPC centers supporting science and engineering applications and customers and building long‑term relationships is highly desired.

The selected individual will be skilled at anticipating and addressing issues that will significantly impact the organization and Sandia and be able to balance multiple activities such as HPC leadership roles, developing new concepts, redirecting approaches, and redefining customer requirements that impact organizational operations or directions.
