About the role

  • Collaborate with quantum and domain scientists to install, configure, compile, and optimize research applications on the HPC + quantum environment.
  • Profile and tune performance for GPU-accelerated and hybrid workloads using tools such as NVIDIA Nsight, nvprof, and CUDA-Q profilers.
  • Optimize job execution and resource utilization via Slurm policies, GPU partitioning, and hybrid orchestration between classical and quantum nodes.
  • Develop and maintain containerized environments (Singularity, Kubernetes, or Docker) to ensure reproducible builds and easy deployment.
  • Advise researchers on parallelization strategies, CUDA kernels, MPI configurations, and scaling behaviors.
  • Work with system engineers to validate firmware, driver, and library configurations that maximize application performance (e.g., CUDA, cuQuantum, cuBLAS, NCCL).
  • Integrate quantum SDKs and simulators (e.g., CUDA-Q, Qiskit, or IonQ/QuEra APIs) into HPC workflows.
  • Establish performance baselines and benchmarking suites for GPU and hybrid workloads; publish metrics and dashboards.
  • Support and train users — from onboarding and code migration to advanced performance debugging.
  • Contribution to architecture evolution by providing feedback on workload patterns, bottlenecks, and future capacity planning.

Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience in HPC application performance engineering, computational science, or scientific software development.
  • Strong background in GPU programming (CUDA, cuQuantum, CUDA-Q) and parallel programming (MPI, OpenMP).
  • Proficiency with Linux, Slurm, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, Jenkins, Ansible, or GitLab CI).
  • Experience in profiling, benchmarking, monitoring, and optimizing scientific or AI/ML applications on multi-GPU systems.
  • Working knowledge of NVIDIA HPC SDK, CUDA-Q, or cuQuantum stack.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or Engineering (PhD a plus).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills to support a multidisciplinary research community.
