HPC Infrastructure Engineer

HPC Infrastructure Engineer

Location: Stevenage, Bolton or Bristol

Salary: Up to £75,000 depending on experience

Working model: Hybrid, 2-3 days per week onsite

An excellent opportunity has arisen with a leading defence technology organisation for an HPC Infrastructure Engineer to help shape and develop high-performance computing capability across a large, technically complex engineering environment.

This role sits within a specialist information management function and offers the chance to work across HPC infrastructure, Linux, storage, networking and emerging technologies, supporting engineering teams with the platforms they need to tackle demanding computational workloads.

The role

You will contribute to the development of the organisation's long-term HPC capability, helping define infrastructure strategy while remaining close to the technical detail of how these environments are designed, built and operated.

Working with internal engineering teams and technology partners, you will be involved in areas including:

• Designing and developing large-scale HPC environments across compute, storage and networking
• Supporting CPU, GPU and accelerator-based platforms
• Developing high-performance networking solutions using technologies such as InfiniBand, RDMA and high-speed Ethernet
• Designing storage environments including parallel file systems, object storage and tiered architectures
• Helping shape the roadmap for future HPC technologies and infrastructure
• Establishing technical standards, reference architectures and engineering best practice
• Supporting workload management and orchestration technologies such as SLURM and Kubernetes
• Working with HPC software stacks including MPI, CUDA, compilers, libraries and container technologies
• Analysing system performance, capacity and scalability to identify potential bottlenecks
• Working with engineering teams and external technology suppliers to ensure HPC services continue to meet evolving requirements
• Providing technical guidance across the wider HPC engineering and operations environment

The role also offers exposure to international teams and projects, giving you the opportunity to work across a diverse technical community while contributing to the continued development of specialist HPC capability.

What we're looking for

• Strong experience working with HPC infrastructure and Linux environments
• Good understanding of compute, storage and networking within high-performance environments
• Experience with HPC cluster architecture, deployment or engineering
• Knowledge of high-performance networking such as InfiniBand, RDMA or high-speed Ethernet
• Understanding of HPC storage technologies and architectures
• Experience with workload management or orchestration technologies such as SLURM, Kubernetes or similar
• Familiarity with HPC software ecosystems including MPI, CUDA, compilers, containers or related technologies
• An understanding of performance optimisation, benchmarking and capacity planning
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with both technical specialists and wider engineering stakeholders

What's on offer

• Salary up to £75,000 depending on experience
• Bonus of up to 21% of base salary
• Pension contributions of up to 14% combined
• Hybrid working with 2-3 days onsite
• Flexible working arrangements
• Enhanced parental leave
• Subsidised onsite meals and free parking
• Healthcare Cash Plan
• Opportunities to work with advanced HPC technologies across a large-scale engineering environment

Security requirements

This role requires DV Clearance. Applicants will also need to meet the relevant nationality and right-to-work requirements, with BPSS checks required after offer.
