HPC SME

GDIT is seeking a dynamic HPC expert to provide data analysis and expert recommendations to advance utilization of HPC resources. You will be supporting the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP). As an HPC SME, you will join a team of innovative and savvy engineers and computational scientists. We focus on building collaborative relationships with the HPC community to better understand customer technology needs and challenges. Our team of computational scientists help solve the HPC challenges for DoD scientists and engineers across the Army, Navy and Air Force.  

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

*The position is remote with occasional travel for meetings. However, you must be available during the core hours in the Eastern Time Zone.

How the High Performance Computing SME will make an impact:

• Provide in-depth technical analysis on the progress of DoD HPCMP High Priority Projects.

• Provide specialized technical subject matter expertise as a member of the New User Support Team

• Provide the analysis of technical merit and mission impact of new projects each year.

• Ensuring all published documentation regarding RM is timely and accurate, and make changes as needed on a regular basis.

• Support the HPCMP by understanding and documenting user requirements and user experiences on DSRC systems.

• Observe, devise, maintain, and recommend performance metrics necessary to gain better for technology forecasting, pIE modernization, benchmarking, or the current needs of the program.

• Provide expert advice on the development and analysis of system metrics such as measuring impact, tracking benchmarking and computer speed, over and above the current metrics which include utilization, throughput, and expansion factor.

• Provide assistance to the Chief Technology Officer to support the Technology Forecast effort.

• Act as facilitator between High Performance Computing Advisory Panel members and the HPCMP RM Associate Director as they renew and request new projects
