The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) is hiring a Scientific Applications Engineer for its Scientific Applications (SciApps) group. SciApps's mission is to provide a comprehensive scientific software environment on the high performance computing (HPC) systems for supporting client research and helping clients efficiently utilize OSC’s HPC resources. 

 

OSC accelerates discovery for Ohio’s academic and commercial researchers by providing accessible, reliable and secure high performance computing power at a fraction of the cost of alternatives, along with expert consultation and secure storage.

 

Responsibilities of the Scientific Applications Engineer include:
 

  • Maintaining the scientific software stack, including installation, testing, and updating license servers.
