Pacific northwest national laboratory (pnnl) is a world-class research institution powered by a highly educated, diverse workforce committed to the values of integrity, creativity, collaboration, impact, and courageEvery year, scores of dynamic, driven people come to pnnl to work with renowned researchers on meaningful science, innovations and outcomes for the u.sDepartment of energy and other sponsors; here is your chance to be one of them!
At pnnl, you will find an exciting research environment and excellent benefits including health insurance, flexible work schedules and telework optionsPnnl is located in eastern washington state—the dry side of washington known for its stellar outdoor recreation and affordable cost of livingThe lab’s campus is only a 45-minute flight (or 3 hour drive) from seattle or portland, and is serviced by the convenient psc airport, connected to 8 major hubs.
Overview
Research computing advances scientific discovery by providing researchers computational tools to accelerate their research outcomesWe support computationally enabled science by providing researchers access to computational building blocks (e.g., hpc, machine learning environments, data management tools etc.)We also provide services, expertise, and support to researchers to optimize their use of our capabilities (e.g., hpc consulting, cloud deployment support, etc.), all while fostering a culture of computing through interdisciplinary collaboration and access to computational resources.
Responsibilities
We are seeking post master’s software engineers to join project teams building solutions in a variety of domainsThese will be around the high performance computing (hpc), machine learning, and scientific data management domains.
Your scope of work will be diverse and will include joining existing project teams across the labThe work will include designing, coding, testing, debugging, and implement software applications and pipelines in support of projects and workflowsFor hpc work, this will include optimizing scientific codes to be run in parallel instances.
Additionally, there are opportunities for user experience (ux) engineers, with knowledge of all ux process, with a strong emphasis on visual design.
You must understand and have experience in a mix of technologies such as c#, react, python, c, c++ or javascriptFor aspects of the work, experience and interest in machine learning workflows will be an advantage.
Initially you will join existing project teams, and as such you will be expected to operate within specific guidelines and coding standardsAs your career develops you will be increasingly responsible for building your own opportunities within pnnl and developing opportunities for other staff to follow.
