Job Description:

The Scientific Computing Center (SCC) is the information technology center of KIT.

The Scientific Computing and Simulation Department (SCS) operates large-scale facilities for scientific High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Data-Intensive Sciences, including the 'High Performance Computer Karlsruhe' (HoreKa), one of the fastest and most energy-efficient computers in Europe. In November 2020, the SCC was selected as a center for National High-Performance Computing (NHR) after a nationwide application process.

To strengthen our software team, we are looking for a Scientific Software Consultant (f/m/d) as soon as possible.

• You provide optimized versions of scientific and technical applications and libraries to the users on our High-Performance Computers within the National High Performance Computing (NHR@KIT) and the Baden-Württemberg High-Performance Computing (bwHPC) projects, and advise researchers on their efficient use.
• You will manage license quotas of commercial, scientific software packages, further develop license manager processes, ensure that usage is in line with requirements and take care of further licensing.
• You ensure that problems are solved quickly and competently in close coordination with users and other experts.
• As part of the so-called "Future Technologies Partition", you install and evaluate the software packages you support on new types of architectures such as ARM processors or AMD GPUs.
• You independently prepare teaching materials and documentation for the software packages you support and participate in workshops and training courses.
• You support the review process for scientific computing time allotments on the HPC systems and contribute to the further development of processes and services for user support.

The position is to be filled as soon as possible.

Job requirements:

• You have a university degree (Master level) in the Natural Sciences, Engineering, Computational Sciences, Computer Science, or Mathematics.
• You have profound experience in using and installing at least two common, relevant software packages from various scientific disciplines (e.g., Matlab, Mathematica, R, ANSYS, Abaqus, Comsol, StarCCM+, Tecplot, VASP, Turbomole, GROMACS, or OpenFOAM) on parallel high-performance computers.
• Experience with software for new scientific methods (such as artificial intelligence) or advanced software development methods (such as continuous integration, research software engineering) is desirable.
• You have basic knowledge of Linux operating systems and ideally software license managers. Hands-on experience with Linux server system administration, including shell scripting, version management, and compilers, is preferred.
• You have basic knowledge and experience with programming languages and advanced paradigms.
• You possess good English skills and basic German language skills.
• You demonstrate a high degree of initiative, result orientation, and teamwork.

We offer an exciting and varied job within an agile team, along with training opportunities and flexible, family-friendly working hours. For more information about SCC as your new workplace, please visit our website.

We look forward to your application (motivational letter, CV, certificates)!
