Senior HPC Linux Systems Engineer, Classified Environment
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Requisition Id 16496" maybe minor metadata; we can fold into short
or drop. Probably drop it.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Let's extract content:
Overview paragraph: "The Field Intelligence Operations Division invites candidates to apply to join our National Security Computing team to contribute to the design, implementation, and management of High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems within a classified environment. We are looking for candidates with experience in HPC architecture, cluster management, and parallel computing, with a proven ability to work within highly secure and regulated environments. This role involves close collaboration with security teams, scientists, and IT leadership to ensure that the HPC infrastructure meets the stringent performance, security, and compliance requirements necessary for classified work. As part of our team, you will be joining a vibrant group of professionals eager to provide premier customer service to ensure people and information technology remain secure. The team is collaborative and strives to ensure security practices and procedures are understood, implemented, and enforced. All team members deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service. This evergreen posting represents multiple openings for roles across ORNL’s high-performance computing classified ecosystem."
That's About the role.
Major Duties And Responsibilities: list of bullet points (each sentence ends with period). We'll turn each into
- .
Basic Qualifications: "BS degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field. A minimum of 8 years of relevant experience in Linux systems administration or HPC systems engineering."
Preferred Qualifications: list of many items.
Special Requirements: SCI Clearance etc. This could go under Requirements or maybe a separate section like Requirements? But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could put Basic Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications, and maybe Special Requirements under Requirements as well? Or we could treat Special Requirements as part of Requirements. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also Benefits if present (not). Pay/Schedule not present.
We need to decide mapping: Requirements could be Basic Qualifications + Special Requirements. Qualifications could be Preferred Qualifications. Skills could be maybe extracted from Preferred Qualifications (like expertise with batch schedulers, etc.) but we already have Preferred Qualifications as a list; we could put them under Skills. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we put Basic Qualifications under Requirements, Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications, and Special Requirements under Requirements as well (or maybe under Qualifications). However we must not create thin sections; we can combine.
Better: Requirements: Basic Qualifications + Special Requirements (both are requirements). Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (these are preferred). Skills: maybe we can extract specific technical skills from Preferred Qualifications but that would be duplication. Could instead put Preferred Qualifications under Skills, and Qualifications could be empty? But we need to avoid empty headings. So maybe we treat Preferred Qualifications as Skills, and Qualifications as Basic? Hmm.
Let's read instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not strict mapping. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. So we can decide which sections we have content for.
We have content for About the role (overview). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (basic qualifications + special clearance). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills (maybe we can list specific technical skills like batch schedulers, parallel file systems, automation frameworks, scripting, interconnects, IAM, virtualization, communication, mentoring). That's essentially the preferred qualifications list; we could treat that as Skills. But then Qualifications would be empty. Better to treat Preferred Qualifications as Qualifications, and Skills maybe we can extract a subset like "Expertise with batch schedulers (SLURM, PBS, LSF) and parallel file systems (Lustre, GPFS/Spectrum Scale). Strong proficiency in automation and infrastructure-as-code frameworks (Ansible, Puppet, Salt). Advanced scripting or programming skills (Python, Bash, Go) for automation and operational tooling. In-depth understanding of high-speed interconnects (InfiniBand, Slingshot, Ethernet) and storage architectures. Experience managing identity and access management systems, including MFA, SSO, and zero-trust frameworks (PingFederate, RSA SecureID, Entra ID). Experience integrating virtualization or containerization solutions (VMware, KVM, Apptainer, Podman) into HPC environments. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex technical concepts to diverse audiences. Proven ability to influence technical strategy and mentor staff in a collaborative research environment." That's still many.
But we could just put Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications and not have Skills section. That's fine; we just omit Skills heading if no specific content. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. That's four sections.
We need to include - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we need a list. For Requirements we have basic qualifications (two sentences) and special requirements (multiple sentences). Could be list as well. For Qualifications we have preferred qualifications list.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all details from basic qualifications, special requirements, preferred qualifications.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is "Why Join Us", "About ORNL", "This position will remain open...", "We accept Word...", "Resumes from third party vendors...", "If you have trouble applying...", "ORNL is an equal opportunity employer...", "UT-Battelle is an E-Verify employer." Those are boilerplate; we should remove them. Also "As a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national laboratory..." is part of About ORNL; that's boilerplate? It's descriptive but maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About ORNL" and "Why Join Us" might be considered promotional but not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove. However they are generic marketing; but they might be considered not substantive? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "About ORNL" and "Why Join Us" are substantive? They describe the organization and benefits; but they are generic and could be considered boilerplate. However they are not explicitly listed as boilerplate to remove. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we keep About ORNL and Why Join Us? But they might be considered not part of the role specifics. However they are not prohibited. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including About ORNL could be a section but we don't have a heading for it. We could incorporate into About the role? But it's separate. The instruction says we should not create sections like Benefits/Pay/Schedule unless posting actually states them. It doesn't forbid adding an "About ORNL" section, but we only have headings list given as examples; we could add other headings but they'd be non-standard. Safer to stick to the given headings and only include those with content. So we will not include About ORNL or Why Join Us as separate sections; we can incorporate relevant bits into About the role if they are substantive. But About ORNL is generic; maybe we can drop it as it's not specific to the role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does that mean we must keep all info from the posting, even generic? It says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep all substantive info; generic statements about ORNL are still substantive? They are not specific to the role but they are part of posting. However they might be considered boilerplate? Not explicitly listed. The instruction to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate suggests that other promotional text may be kept. But we have limited headings; we could add a section "About ORNL" but not in the list of allowed headings? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." implies those are examples, not exclusive. So we could add other headings if needed. However to be safe, we could incorporate ORNL description into About the role section as extra prose. That would preserve it.
Similarly "Why Join Us" could be incorporated into About the role or maybe a Benefits section? But we don't have explicit benefits; but Why Join Us lists benefits: collaborate with diverse teams, grow career, enjoy life in East Tennessee. Those are benefits. So we could create a Benefits section with those points. The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The Why Join Us section has specific content: collaborate with diverse teams..., grow your career..., enjoy life in East Tennessee... So we can create a Benefits section with those as list items.
Similarly "This position will remain open for a minimum of 5 days after which it will close when a qualified candidate is identified and/or hired." That's metadata about posting duration; could be folded into a short
maybe under About the role or omitted as minor metadata. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can drop the requisition ID and the posting duration line.
Also "We accept Word (.doc, .docx), Adobe (unsecured .pdf), Rich Text Format (.rtf), and HTML (.htm, .html) up to 5MB in size. Resumes from third party vendors will not be accepted; these resumes will be deleted and the candidates submitted will not be considered for employment. If you have trouble applying for a position, please email ORNLRecruiting@ornl.gov." That's application instructions; we must remove.
"ORNL is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants, including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans, are encouraged to apply. UT-Battelle is an E-Verify employer." That's EEO boilerplate; remove.
Thus we keep: Overview, Major Duties And Responsibilities, Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Special Requirements, Why Join
for prose. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Requisition Id 16496" maybe minor metadata; we can fold into short
