Salary : Starting from £37,099, rising to £44,263

Closing date : Monday 30 September 2024

About the role

The Research Infrastructure Engineer will be a part of the Research and Computing team, responsible for the development and maintenance of the University's High-Performance Computing (HPC) services and Research Storage services, applying technical expertise to resolve complex problems, support an active and growing user community, generate innovative ideas and enhance the delivery of the HPC and storage services.

You will methodically analyse and improve existing systems and processes, ensuring their security and performance. Ensure systems change management is carried out in accordance with agreed standards and procedures, creating and managing software test and development environments.

You will provide advice and assistance on service and component availability, employ through-life planning models to ensure systems meet business needs and inform customers of supplier product developments and upgrades, advising on implementation. You will develop implementation plans for complex requests for change, evaluating risks to infrastructure integrity and reviewing effectiveness of change implementation.

Provide and maintain stable HPC and research storage services, ensuring maximum operation of service, alongside providing technical support to the active community of Research Computing users. This would be through technical knowledge transfer, assisting them with utilising the resources, debugging and optimisation, through innovative solutions that enrich and enhance user experience and service delivery.

Supporting outreach activities to enable exploitation of cloud research services by a broader user-base, represent the University within the HPC community through regional and national HPC centres and the HPC Specialist Interest Group, undertake research into suppliers, markets and product and service categories and overall be a trusted advisor and advocate between IT and key University stakeholders.
