What are the responsibilities and job description for the HPC Applications Engineer position at NextSilicon?
NextSilicon is reimagining high-performance computing. Our accelerated compute solutions leverage intelligent adaptive algorithms to vastly accelerate supercomputers, driving them forward into a new generation. Our new software-defined hardware architecture enables HPC to fulfill its promise of breakthroughs in all fields of advanced research.
At NextSilicon, everything we do is guided by three core values:
Location: Hybrid in either our Austin, TX or Minneapolis, MN offices (or willing to relocate) preferred but Remote considered for exceptional candidates.
As part of a software-defined hardware company, you will play a pivotal role in driving new software features based on your analysis of customer-defined applications and measuring the resulting performance improvements. This role stands on the edge of computer science/architecture and scientific applications which span a wide range of fields, including but not limited to graph algorithms, sparse computations, weather prediction, seismic imaging, genomics, molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, and computational fluid dynamics. If you have a passion for science, a knack for solving complex problems, and thrive in a bleeding-edge multidisciplinary environment, we want to hear from you!
