Job Description

An SME – HPC Applications sits between application/users and the HPC infrastructure. The role is more specialized than a general technology associate; you’re expected to understand not just how HPC systems work, but also how applications (scientific, simulation, AI/ML) are built, optimSized, deployed, and scaled on them. You may be involved in performance tuning, user consultation, choosing or improving software / libraries, often working with developers, scientists, or engineers.

Primary Roles & Responsibilities

• Strong proficiency in Linux/Unix environments.
• Provide hands-on support for users running HPC/AI/ML workloads on systems.
• Deploy, validate, configure scientific / modeling / AI or simulation software & libraries. Ensuring dependencies, build systems, portability across nodes / GPU vs CPU etc. Port, build, test, and deploy HPC applications on Linux-based HPC systems.
• Assist researchers with job scripting, parallel scaling, and debugging of application issues.




• Collaborate with system administrators to install and maintain application software stacks and libraries (e.g., MPI, compilers, math libraries).
• Provide application support: help users get their code working on the HPC system; debug and resolve builds/execution issues.
• Assist in user training / documentation: helping users understand how to use the HPC resources efficiently (how to submit jobs, estimate resources, understand where bottlenecks are).
• Experience on HPC libraries (MKL, FFTW, HDF5, NetCDF, etc.).
• Experience in scripting or programming language (Python, Bash, C/C++, Fortran).
• Escalate complex issues to L3 support with clear logs and diagnostics.
• Create/Provide basic documentation and training to onboarding for HPC AI resources.

Technical Skills

• Positive understanding at OS level - RedHat, Ubuntu, SuSE etc.
• Good understanding on SLURM/PBS/LSF/Gridengine Schedulers.
• Good experience in deploying and optimizing and benchmarking scientific codes (WRF, O
