Runtime System Software Engineer (m/f)

Job description

Job Description

As the leading supplier of data center platforms, Intel collaborates with world class partners to prototype advanced solutions platform, system SW and APIs for large-scale high-performance computing HPC and High Performance Data Analytics HPDA usage scenarios. The ExaCluster Laboratory is a collaboration of Intel with the Juelich Supercomputer Center JSC established in 2010.

Activities in this lab include European government-funded R&D projects DEEP-EST and NEXTGenIO and tight collaborations with supercomputer centers at Barcelona and Edinburgh. The job offered encompasses the design and implementation/extension of runtime software layers responsible for resource management, orchestration and scheduling for the DEEP-EST R&D project. Work will be based on the Open Source SLURM system, and the objective is to support a novel, modular system architecture for HPC and HPDA data centers that is being developed in the project, and a mix of highly parallel and potentially heterogeneous workloads. The candidate accepted will work full-time for the DEEP-EST project as part of the Intel project team. The employment contract is aligned with the term of the DEEP-EST project and will therefore run for the duration of 3 years. Possible locations for the position include an office at JSC in Juelich, Germany, or Intel's sites in Munich.

Inside this Business Group

The Data Center Group (DCG) is at the heart of Intel's transformation from a PC company to a company that runs the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing devices.
