We are a San Francisco based company looking for a Tech Support
Representative to handle both the implementation and the ongoing
in-house support of HPC clusters with thousands of nodes and state of
the art computational software. This is an opportunity to work with some
of the brightest minds in the HPC space. The job will be centered in
Atlanta, but this role will also act as a technical resource to other
installations on the Eastern seaboard.

 

Duties & Responsibilities:

*	Work with project manager on the planning and execution of very
large system installations.

*	Assist customers with server and HPC cluster system
administration.
*	Respond to and investigate/troubleshoot hardware issues
independently.

configuration of network switches.

*	Coordinate activities with Engineering, Support and Operations
departments.
*	Provide updates to problem request tracking system.
*	Escalate issues to the correct department if not resolved on
site.

 

*	Requirements:
*	Familiarity with Linux, including basic system administration,
kernel configuration, and network troubleshooting.
*	Candidates should be comfortable with all aspects of
installation and set up of a Linux cluster, including basic security,
network services, package management, and basic shell scripting.
*	Working knowledge of computer hardware, including hardware RAID.
*	Proven verbal and written communication skills with a track
record of problem solving without escalations. There will be nobody on
the customer site to hold your hand. We are an upbeat team who value
enthusiasm and a work ethic as much as your technical skills.
*	Experience with Linux HPC clustering / mpich a plus.
*	Experience with high density blade servers and network switch
administration a plus.
*	Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) a plus.
