KEY:

High Performance Compute (HPC) Traffic Modeling Engineer to perform front-end system design activities and product development. Reporting to the Systems Engineering Lead, the HPN/HPC Traffic Modeling Engineer will collaborate with research scientists and product teams to perform system architecture and design activities. As a member of the product development teams, the HPN/HPC Traffic Modeling Engineer will develop advanced computing research into product designs and architectures.  While the focus is on hardware/software systems, a cross-functional team will be needed that can apply aspects of microwave and analog electronics, digital hardware design, mechanical and thermal design, and environmental control.

The HPN/HPC Traffic Modeling Engineer will:

• Lead the systems engineering effort, support systems and the target transformational computing system. This senior systems engineering role is expected to work across the transformational computing group.
• The systems engineer will be responsible for the definition of system requirements and associated verification and validation approaches. The system engineer shall be expected to work with customers, scientists and engineers.
• The systems engineering effort will use a model-based systems engineering methodology as adapted to support an R&D environment in support of the development of tools and advanced computational systems.
• As part of a cross-functional systems team, mentor, and cross-train other team members.
• Lead the trade study definition, metrics development and evaluations for the use of novel technologies to aid in the development of support tools and target transformational computing systems.
• Working with the SEIT Lead, they will lead, establish, and enforce the adoption of standard processes, configuration management, and good engineering practices
• Engage in systems thinking and demonstrate technical leadership.
• Willingness to learn and understand state of the art concepts and technologies that are foundational to the transformational computing technical architectures.

This position will serve on-site in Linthicum/ Annapolis Junction, MD.

Basic Qualifications for Staff HPN/HPC Traffic Modeling Engineer:

• Bachelor's Degree or higher in a STEM discipline (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) such as Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a similar technical discipline with 14 years of related experience, or 12 years with a Master's Degree, or 9 years with a PhD.
• US Citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain US security clearance.
• Experience and direct technical knowledge of at least four of the following:
  • High Performance Networking/ High Performance Compute Traffic Modeling and associated analysis.
  • Developing detailed models of the high performance computer system capable of accurately projecting performance.
  • Analyzing and optimizing traffic patterns in complex, high performance computer networks.
  • Working with Systems Engineering and Digital Design teams to ensure that the architecture meets requirements and is implemented correctly on an FPGA or ASIC platform.
  • Interacting with customers, both internal and external, to convey architecture principles and concepts.
  • Efficient and effective communication of design and architecture to digital designers for implementation, simulation, and synthesis.

Preferred Qualifications for Staff HPN/HPC Traffic Modeling Engineer:

• Experience leading cross functional teams.
• Experience in custom hardware system design.
• Knowledge or experience in microwave, high speed design

This position reports to Linthicum, MD, USA, however, this position can also be worked from Annapolis Junction, MD, MD, USA.
