Context

ASTRA is a 4-year project selected within a competitive call for projects of the French NumPEx (Numérique pour l’Exascale) PEPR research program. Focused on radio astronomy in the context of next-generation instruments such as LOFAR2.0 and SKA, it aims to design and deploy a unified, container-based orchestration and data management platform federating HPC, cloud, and distributed storage resources to run large-scale, reproducible workflows across heterogeneous infrastructures, forming the backbone of the future French SKA Regional Centre (FR-SRC).



Four representative use-cases will be targeted for demonstration: detection of gravitational waves with pulsar timing arrays, detection of the redshifted 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn, mapping of galactic atomic gas, and wide-field continuum surveys.

To support this project, NumPEx is seeking an expert in integration, packaging, and CI/CD to lead the definition and implementation of a robust deployment and change-management framework for large-scale radio astronomy workflows deployed across HPC and cloud infrastructures.

Although the successful candidate will work specifically on the ASTRA project, they will be organizationally embedded within the broader NumPEx program, and more particularly within the Exa-DI team. Exa-DI works in close interaction with application communities to identify key algorithmic and communication patterns in exascale applications, develop representative mini-applications based on the NumPEx software stack, and eval
