Scientific Application Computational Scientist

NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California: The AMTI contract at NASA Ames Research Center is seeking two highly qualified candidates with distinguished accomplishments and expertise in Computational Sciences. These Positions offer an opportunity to implement, develop, and perform scientific applications to work with a highly motivated and skilled team on NASA’s Columbia supercomputer-the fastest super operational supercomputer in the world. Description: The successful candidate will take existing science codes and modify and or port them to a twenty node SGI Altix system. The candidate will increase the efficiency of the codes by algorithmic and computation methods. The candidate will work directly with the science code developers/users produce the best science results attainable in the most computationally efficient manner available. Requirements: This position requires the candidate to have a minimum of ten years experience in high performance computing-related FORTRAN 77, FORTRAN 90, or CAF programming. The computational science requirements are knowledge of and publications in: Super computer architectures- distributed memory, shared memory, and vector Parallel Languages-MPI, OpenMP, vectorization Numerical methods-overset/unstructured grids, finite volume/element methods Domain expertise- preferably in Earth Science, Space Science, Nanotechnology, Bioinformatics and related fields. BS/MS in CS, EE or related field or equivalent experience. Exceptional written, verbal and presentation skills Desired Skills: PhD highly desired Experience on SGI Origins or Altix systems Experience with load balancing in parallel applications scaling to 1000s of CPUs Knowledge of C/C++ programming Experience with debugging techniques and tools To apply: please visit our website, www.amti.com to apply online and to learn more about our company
