HPC Systems Administrator

AWE plc is currently seeking a highly skilled HPC Systems Administrator to join our team. As a key member of our High-Performance Computing (HPC) Group, you will be responsible for providing system administration support for AWE's HPC supercomputers. With your extensive experience in deploying and managing Linux-based systems, you will be able to work independently and as part of a team to ensure the smooth operation of our HPC systems. Your scripting skills, preferably in Python and Bash, will be valuable in developing in-house tools to support HPC platform administration.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Support the planning, installation, and commissioning of new HPC systems
  • Provide day-to-day support of HPC systems
  • Configuration management of HPC platform hardware and software
  • Monitor the performance and the reliability of HPC systems
  • Development of in-house tools to support HPC platform administration
  • Overseas travel to attend conferences and collaborative meetings
Who are we looking for?

Whilst not to be considered a tick list, we'd like you to have experience in some of the following:
  • Good experience of deploying and managing Linux-based systems
  • Scripting skills (preferably Python and Bash)
  • Awareness of computer security concepts
  • Able to work independently and unsupervised, as well as part of a team
  • Good problem-solving skills
  • Good communication skills
  • Ability to work fully on-site - due to the nature of what we do at AWE and the responsibilities of this role, the role cannot be carried out remotely
The following would be advantageous:
  • Experience of HPC clustered computing
  • Experience of parallel file systems
  • Experience of first- and second-line user support
Some reasons we think you'll love it here:

AWE plc offers a wide range of benefits to suit you. These include:
  • 9-day working fortnight - meaning you get every other Friday off work, in addition to 270 hours of annual leave.
  • Market leading contributory pension scheme (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your contributions).
  • Family friendly policies: Maternity Leave - 39 Weeks Full Pay and Paternity Leave - 4 Weeks Full Pay.
  • Opportunities for Professional Career Development including funding for annual membership of a relevant professional body.
  • Employee Assistance Programme and Occupational Health Services.
  • Life Assurance (4 x annual salary).
  • Discounts - access to savings on a wide range of everyday spending.
  • Special Leave Policy including paid time off for volunteering, public service (including reserve forces) and caring.
  • Relocation assistance (terms & conditions apply)
AWE plc is committed to providing a diverse and inclusive work environment. We encourage applications from diverse candidates and are an equal opportunities employer.

Important things you need to know:
  • You will need to obtain and maintain the necessary security clearance for the role. This will be funded by AWE plc. The nature of our work does mean you need to be a British Citizen who has been resident in the UK for the past 5 years in order to apply for SC clearance and 10 years for DV.
  • We want you to feel comfortable and able to shine during our recruitment process. Please let us know on your application form if you need any adjustments/accommodations during the process.
