D&E - Software Product Owner (HPC Platform) - Tainan

Job mission:

The mission of the team is to develop an in-house high-performance computation cluster system for high throughput eBeam inspection tool. The high-performance computation system handles large data set, high data transfer rate and process computation heavy algorithms. Team is responsible for the design and implement a future proof software framework on top of cluster with dozens to hundreds or even more heterogeneous super-computer nodes. Review and collaborate with other functional groups on product requirements.

Ensure there is a platform where this software can run with high performance achieved and availability guaranteed. Design the software platform setup, the Computational Infrastructure virtualization layers, manages firmware updates, and provides a key set of numerical algorithm optimization services to manage the platform. The team is very strong on the technical aspects. A candidate with affinity towards team collaboration and technical excellency, picking up daily issues that arise and guide priority setting is encouraged to bring this forward.

Role and responsibilities

The hands-on job of a software engineer for HPC platform is responsible for the design, review and collaboration with computation infrastructure team for a future proof cloud and virtual compute platform with optimization on both in-house and at HMI’s customers. The stability of the existing platforms in the field and the introduction of the new platform with all its new opportunities and issues. You are profound in troubleshooting virtual computing platform both software and hardware, container virtualization, network, and other software issues even if these go beyond the platform. Robust definition of software & platform development processes, install, and upgrade (ansible, K8s, Container, Docker, shell script) is one of your duties.
