Closing date: 2nd January 2020 The UK Atomic Energy Authority have an excellent opportunity for a High-Performance Computing (HPC) Software Engineer to join their team within the Materials Science and Scientific Computing department. You will help drive UKAEA`s simulation software stack into a new era. You will help the development of world leading engineering simulation software to solve highly coupled problems. The simulations performed will help drive our engineering design cycle by the provision of high-fidelity multiscale calculations. Key areas of responsibility will include: - Performing simulations across many diverse HPC systems including our onsite HPC infrastructure
- Scaling the simulations out to national (Catalyst, Dirac, Isambard, Archer) and international HPC resources (BSC, Marconi, JSC).
- Support in developing algorithms that help our engineering simulations scale to the size needed to address highly coupled physics environments.
- Have a long-term interest in the development of our digital twinning infrastructure, to allow geometry to be pulled from databases, pre-processing to be automatically performed, simulations spawned and queried.
- You will / will become an internationally recognised technical expert and in a number of cases, will be UKAEA`s main or sole representative on international projects.
- Negotiating and presenting to the wider HPC community in order to grow UKAEA`s reputation and bring added value to the UKAEA Fusion programme. At UKAEA we strive to make everyone feel welcome and fully supported. Our Ambassadors are actively promoting and advancing diversity and inclusion in the organisation to help make our Organisation an employer of choice. UKAEA has a graded career structure and our mentoring scheme will enable you to reach your true potential. The UKAEA hosts and manages the JET nuclear fusion energy experiment on behalf of the EU and is also home to the UK`s MAST-U fusion energy experiment. UKAEA also works with industry and other third parties to develop new technologies currently in Remote Handling and Materials research. Following recent UK funding two new centres of excellence in tritium fuel handling and component testing and validation are being built. The culture at UKAEA promotes research, innovation and leading edge technological excellence, whilst investing in its people.
