Senior Slurm Administrator

Overview

Own Slurm within NVIDIA's VLSI compute environment and provide second-deep coverage across the wider scheduling estate as part of the HPC Infrastructure team.

What you'll do

• Own Slurm within NVIDIA's VLSI compute environment and provide second-deep coverage across the wider scheduling estate.
• Administer, configure and tune Slurm clusters, including partitions, QOS, accounting, limits, node states and topology, and operate them alongside an existing LSF estate.
• Automate scheduler operations: node onboarding and draining, configuration management, health checks and routine maintenance.
• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting for job throughput, queue wait times and SLA attainment.
• Support design engineers during local business hours and carry out day-to-day operations, including queue health and job triage.

What you'll need

• B.E., B.Tech or M.Tech in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years in compute infrastructure, with hands-on responsibility for batch scheduling.
• Strong practical Slurm experience: configuration, partitions and QOS, accounting via slurmdbd, node management, and troubleshooting real job failures in production.
• Solid Linux systems administration, including filesystems, NFS, networking, and process and resource management.
• Working automation skills in Python and shell.
• Experience with monitoring and dashboarding tools.
• Comfortable carrying a real operational load and treating production support and escalations as part of the engineering job.

Nice to have

• Exposure to a second scheduler, LSF preferred, or a clear appetite to pick one up quickly.
• Semiconductor/EDA or HPC exposure.

Details

• Location: Bengaluru, India.
• Hands-on technical role; operations (queue health and job triage) are a core part of the job.
