Software Engineer, Frontier Systems - Power Management

Job summary

Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer on the Frontier Systems team focused on power management, you will work on critical infrastructure to support cutting-edge research. With large-scale supercomputers consuming substantial amounts of power, managing this efficiently is key to maximizing computational capacity.

• Develop and implement system-level and software-level solutions to optimize power usage in large-scale supercomputers, ensuring efficient and reliable operations.
• Build automation to monitor power consumption patterns during training workloads and design algorithms to stabilize these fluctuations, preventing issues with grid reliability.
• Work with researchers and engineers to design tools for real-time monitoring, detection, and remediation of power-related hardware and system faults.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to translate complex electrical system requirements into code, while driving continuous improvements in power management solutions.
• Drive the development of power throttling mechanisms at the IT system level to dynamically adjust power usage based on workload demands and infrastructure limitations.

What they're looking for

• 7+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on solving large-scale, system-level challenges.
• Strong proficiency in Python and familiarity with automation and scripting tools (e.g., shell scripting).
• Experience with distributed systems to efficiently aggregate and analyze streaming data.
• Knowledge of electrical engineering concepts including digital signal processing, power systems, Fast Fourier Transforms, or related areas.
• Experience in system-level investigations and development of automated solutions to address power management, fault detection, and remediation.
