Information Technology Specialist in CFD / AI / HPC

Join our team to the next possible date as

The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) operates one of the most powerful supercomputer infrastructures in Europe and will be hosting the first EU Exascale supercomputer JUPITER. We make computing resources available to scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich, in Germany, and in Europe. To support users on the supercomputer systems, JSC uses its expertise in the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and data science in general. JSC’s Simulation and Data Laboratory “Fluids & Solids Engineering” (SDL FSE) provides community-specific support for Engineering scientists with respect to complex simulations, simulation workflows, and data analyses on HPC systems, including the continuous integration of AI technologies. As part of several EU-funded projects, the SDL develops scalable simulation codes of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications and AI models for the acceleration of the corresponding numerical methods, workflow automatization, predictions of fluid mechanical properties, and optimization tasks.

Your Job:

In this position, you will be an active member of the SDL “Fluids & Solids Engineering” with the following tasks:

• You will work together with international partners in EU-funded projects
• You will support the implementation and benchmarking of novel AI tools for the integration in multi-physics simulation codes
• You will support the code development for running large-scale multi-physics / CFD simulations
• You will support initiating projects with scientific, industrial, and public partners
• You will support users in using the HPC resources and develop solution strategies suited to their problems. In particular, you will contribute to the German-wide and internationally operating National Competence Center within the EuroHPC project EuroCC-2
• You will support HPC users from the scientific community as well as the industrial and public sectors
• You will join driving collaboration with other projects, such as the Centers of Excellence (CoEs)

Your Profile:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science or other related fields
• Experience in the development of numerical methods for CFD application
• Experience in programming in Python and C++, and in using scripting languages commonly used on Unix systems. Additional languages or experience with libraries for utilizing GPU hardware efficiently, e.g., CUDA, are a plus
• Enthusiastic in AI programming with, e.g., PyTorch(-DDP), Horovod, or DeepSpeed, and in HPO
• A generalist with an interest to solve challenges using a large set of diverse software tools and applications
• Good written and spoken English
• Ability and willingness to work in an international, interdisciplinary team

Note that it is not necessary to fulfil all of these requirements in order to be considered for the position. We want you to fit in with us as a person, not just your profile.

Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We support you in your work with:

• A diverse range of activities in an engaged and experienced team
• Work on frontiers of scientific and technological challenges with access to cutting-edge and unique supercomputing systems including the upcoming first Exascale computer in Europe (JUPITER)
• Comprehensive training courses and individual opportunities for personal and professional further development
• Extensive company health management
• Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy
• Flexible work (location) arrangements, e.g. remote work in accordance with the tasks
• Flexible working hours in a full-time position (39 hours/week) with the option of slightly reduced working hours
• 30 days of annual leave and provision for days off between public holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)

We look forward to receiving your application. The job will be advertised until the position has been successfully filled. You should therefore submit your application as soon as possible.
