About the Team
The Lethality Modeling & Simulation team supports high-consequence engineering decisions through advanced modeling simulation and scientific computing. The team works across lethality warhead effects shock physics detonation physics solid mechanics and related mission-critical analysis areas.
This work depends on reliable high-performance computing systems specialized scientific codes secure operating environments and data workflows that allow analysts and engineers to move quickly. The team operates in an on-premises HPC environment and partners closely with engineering analysis IT security and specialized vendor partners.
About the Job
Anduril is looking for an HPC Systems Administrator to support the computing environment used by the Lethality Modeling & Simulation team. This is not a traditional corporate IT administrator role. You will help administer and improve the on-prem HPC systems scientific code environments storage runtime workflows and tooling that enable analysts to run complex modeling and simulation workloads.
In this role you will maintain and troubleshoot scientific computing systems support Linux/Unix-based infrastructure help manage storage and compute resources and partner with analysts to resolve issues across code nodes queues storage and user workflows. You will also help develop tools scripts and data workflows that improve analyst productivity.
The ideal candidate has experience supporting HPC scientific computing research computing or secure engineering computing environments. This role is scoped for a mid-level to senior individual contributor with final level determined by depth of HPC experience independence technical ownership and ability to lead improvements across the environment.
What Youll Do
- Administer and support on-prem HPC systems used for lethality modeling and simulation workflows
- Maintain install update and troubleshoot scientific codes and runtime environments
- Diagnose issues across code compute nodes operating systems storage queues and user workflows
- Support Linux Unix and Windows administration across a specialized engineering computing environment
- Manage or support storage data movement and filesystem needs tied to modeling and simulation outputs
- Build scripts automation and tools that improve analyst productivity and reduce manual workflow friction
- Partner with analysts engineers security teams and vendor partners to improve reliability usability and secure operation of the environment
- Support the teams path toward classified computing readiness
- Impact Youll Have
- Enable the Lethality Modeling & Simulation team to spend more time on mission-critical analysis and less time troubleshooting computing environments
