Summary
HPC & Research Data Systems Engineer
Short summary
The Crick’s mission is discovery without boundaries; we don’t limit the direction our research takes. We want to understand more about how living things work to help improve treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of human disease, and generate economic opportunities for the UK. Much of our research is both data- and compute-intensive and relies on advanced Scientific Computing systems, services, and skills.
As an HPC Systems Engineer you will provide user support and assist in the design, implementation, development, and service delivery of the institute’s HPC, Cloud, and Research Data Storage and Management hardware and software through a mix of on-premises systems and cloud services.
This role is part of the HPC team within ITO infrastructure and cloud platform, which supports the Crick’s research community and works closely with Research Labs, other STPs.
The Crick has powerful CPU and GPU HPC clusters and a 16 Petabyte Spectrum Scale high performance storage system.
Key Responsibilities
These include but are not limited to:
User Support and Training:
• Help researchers make effective use of HPC and data storage systems by responding to support queries, providing advice, training and documentation.
• Deploy Linux and Windows scientific applications on HPC platforms.
Systems Administration:
• Monitor health, security and performance of systems software/hardware and scientific applications, working actively with vendors and members of the enterprise IT team to troubleshoot and quickly restore services when required.
• Assist in the management of GPFS storage such as access permissions, quotas, directory structures, and computing cluster such as scheduler policies, etc
Systems Engineering:
• Assist in the deployment of proof-of-concept systems and services to meet evolving scientific requirements.
• Assist in the specification, selection and implementation of new research storage and HPC systems.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion:
We welcome applications from all backgrounds. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities, regardless of ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, pregnancy, age, disability, or civil partnership, marital or family status. We particularly welcome applications from people who are Minority Ethnic as they are currently underrepresented in the Crick at this level.
Diversity is essential to excellence in scientific endeavour. It increases breadth and perspective, leading to more innovation and creativity. We want the Crick to be a place where everyone feels valued and where diversity is celebrated and seen as part of the foundation for our Institute’s success.
The Crick is committed to creating equality of opportunity and promoting diversity and inclusivity. We all share in the responsibility to actively promote dignity, respect, inclusivity and equal treatment and it is our aim to ensure that these principles are reflected and implemented in all strategies, policies and practices.
