HPC Systems Administration Specialist
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
Intro paragraph: "Argonne is a multidisciplinary science and engineering research facility, where world-class researchers work alongside experts from industry, academia, and other government laboratories to address vital national challenges in technology and national security. As a member of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) High Performance Computing (HPC) team, you will directly work with first-class supercomputers and emergent technologies alongside scientific staff and research colleagues within the division. In this role, you will be able to significantly contribute to the design and development of new HPC systems, tools, and software stacks. In this role you can expect to:"
Then bullet list (actually sentences separated by periods but they are responsibilities). Let's extract responsibilities:
- Assist with the design, development, and advancement of the HPC environment of the ALCF and focus on software integration with the larger software and operational ecosystem at the facility site.
- Package & Environment Management: Maintain, configure, and optimize Spack environments across ALCF systems to support a diverse and evolving portfolio of scientific applications.
- Compilation & Integration: Build, compile, and validate complex scientific software using modern build systems (e.g., CMake, GNU Make) tailored to heterogeneous exascale architectures (CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators).
- Performance Tuning & Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with application-owners and domain experts after initial compilation to profile, debug, and performance-tune codes for maximum hardware efficiency.
- Upstream Engagement & Issue Reporting: Identify software defects or build failures, and effectively report and track issues back to external software developers and open-source communities.
- Documentation & Support: Document installation procedures, custom build flags, and optimization strategies, providing expert-level support to open-science researchers relying on your software stack.
Then "Position Requirements" heading.
Under that:
- HPC Build & Package Tools: Demonstrated experience with Spack, CMake, Make, and managing software dependencies in Linux-based high-performance computing environments.
- Compilation & Debugging: Strong proficiency in compiling large-scale scientific applications from source, utilizing various compilers (GNU, LLVM/Clang, Intel, etc.) and MPI libraries.
- Performance Tuning: Familiarity with profiling and tuning tools to optimize applications beyond default installations.
- Collaboration & Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills with a proven track record of working closely with domain scientists, researchers, and external developers to troubleshoot and refine software.
- Core Values: Ability to model Argonne's core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity and teamwork.
- US Citizenship: To perform the essential functions of this position successful applicants must provide proof of U.S. citizenship, which is required to comply with federal regulations and contract.
Then: "This position can be hired at one of two levels; the selected candidate will be placed at the appropriate level (PT2 or PT3) dependent upon the depth and breadth of relevant knowledge and skills. The minimum requirements for the two levels are as follows: PT2: Minimum of a Bachelors degree and 2+ years of experience, or equivalent and the expected hiring range for this level is $69,750 - $108,810. PT3: Minimum of a Bachelors degree and 4+ years of experience, or a Masters degree and 2+ years, or equivalent and the expected hiring range for this level is $86,299 - $134,626."
Then: "Job Family Professional Technical (PT) Job Profile Systems Integration Admin/Support 2 Worker Type Regular Time Type Full time The expected hiring range for this position is $69,750.00 - $108,810.00. Please note that the pay range information is a general guideline only. The pay offered to a selected candidate will be determined based on factors such as, but not limited to, the scope and responsibilities of the position, the qualifications of the selected candidate, business considerations, internal equity, and external market pay for comparable jobs. Additionally, comprehensive benefits are part of the total rewards package. Click here to view Argonne employee benefits!"
Then EEO etc which we must remove.
Thus we have:
- About the role: maybe the intro paragraph before responsibilities. Could be considered "About the role". We'll put that as About the role
with
containing the intro sentences. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: maybe combine "Position Requirements" as Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe the PT2/PT3 details (education/experience) and US Citizenship? Actually US Citizenship is a requirement. Could be under Requirements. Qualifications could be education/experience levels. But we need to avoid thin sections. We can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But spec says use headings for those sections if content exists. We have content for Requirements (the bullet list). We have content for Qualifications (education/experience levels). We have content for Pay (salary ranges). We have content for Benefits (mention of comprehensive benefits). Schedule: we have "Worker Type Regular Time Type Full time" indicates full-time schedule. So we can include Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual specifics. Thus sections: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements - Qualifications - Benefits - Pay - Schedule We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Not include Job ID. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: combine the intro sentences up to "In this role you can expect to:" maybe include that as lead-in. We'll include the sentences: "Argonne is a multidisciplinary science and engineering research facility, where world-class researchers work alongside experts from industry, academia, and other government laboratories to address vital national challenges in technology and national security. As a member of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) High Performance Computing (HPC) team, you will directly work with first-class supercomputers and emergent technologies alongside scientific staff and research colleagues within the division. In this role, you will be able to significantly contribute to the design and development of new HPC systems, tools, and software stacks. In this role you can expect to:" Actually the colon leads to list; we could keep that as part of paragraph. Better to put the paragraph ending before the list, then list as
