The role focuses on HPC software engineering, where the engineer will design, develop, and optimize software for large-scale Linux clusters. The team collaborates closely with hardware and systems teams to ensure optimal performance and efficiency of HPC solutions. This position emphasizes innovation and problem-solving in a fast-paced environment, contributing to mission-critical platforms that impact semiconductor manufacturing. The engineer will also engage in cross-functional collaboration to bridge software and hardware teams.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong experience developing HPC or systems software on Linux.
• Proficiency in Java and/or C++ and/or other system-level or performance-oriented languages.
• Hands-on experience with parallel computing (MPI, OpenMP, multithreading).
• Solid understanding of HPC hardware fundamentals: CPUs, memory hierarchies, storage, networking (Ethernet / InfiniBand).
• Practical experience working with clusters, servers, or rack-scale systems in lab or production environments.
• Strong debugging skills across software, OS, and hardware boundaries.

• Design, develop, and optimize HPC software running on large-scale Linux clusters.
• Optimize application performance and power utilization across CPU, memory, storage, and network subsystems.
• Develop and maintain system-level tooling for cluster diagnostics and monitoring.
• Collaborate with hardware and systems teams to define HPC node and storage requirements.
• Participate in HW/SW co-debug activities, including performance bottlenecks and stability issues.
• Understand rack-level integration of HPC systems, focusing on power, cooling, and networking.
• Act as a technical bridge between software, hardware, and systems teams.
