About The Position

Serving Maryland and the Greater Washington D.C. area, SageCor Solutions (SageCor) is a growing company bringing complete engineering services and true full lifecycle System Engineering services to areas requiring (or desiring) nationally-recognized expertise in high performance computing, large data analytics and cutting edge information technologies.
The HPC Software Engineer designs, develops, tests, deploys, documents, maintains,
and enhances complex and diverse software for HPC (high performance computing)
systems based upon documented requirements. Critical for an HSE is either a very
strong math background and/or a very strong computer hardware background. One or
both of these are required for the HSE to be able to understand the intricacies of the
HPC architecture that is being targeted by the software being developed, or to
understand the complex mathematical principles which underlie the software
applications being developed. The HPC systems might include, but are not limited to,
processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely
large data sets, real-time systems, and systems which incorporate data repositories,
data transport services, and application and systems development and monitoring.
Works individually or as part of a team. Reviews and tests software components for
adherence to the design requirements and documents test results. Resolves software
problem reports. Utilizes software development and software design methodologies
appropriate to the development environment. Provides specific input to the software
components of system design to include hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse,
use of Open-Source Software (OSS) and/or Commercial Off-The-Shelf
(COTS)/Government Off-The- Shelf (GOTS) software in place of new development, and
requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software
components. Working knowledge of Configuration Management (CM) tools and Web
Services implementation. The project represents a growing group of efforts targeted at
understanding the performance limitations encountered by FOSS, COTS and GOTS
software, frameworks and tools deployed on High Performance Computers. Team
members design, build, deploy, test and interpret output from metrics collection
capabilities to identify performance limiters and develop courses of action to overcome
them. Test results are used to inform software modification, deployment of alternate
software architectures and hardware architecture enhancement.

Requirements

• Active TS/SCI w/ Polygraph required.
• Bachelor’s degree in Math, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus seven (7) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
• Master’s degree in Math, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline from an accredited college or university, plus five (5) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
• Nine (9) years of experience as an HSE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity.
• Very strong math background and/or a very strong computer hardware background.
• Working knowledge of Configuration Management (CM) tools and Web Services implementation.
