UO is proud of the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, a $1.5B initiative specifically designed to fast-track scientific discoveries and the process of turning those discoveries into innovations that improve the quality of life for people in Oregon, the nation, and beyond. Rooted in the University of Oregon’s 60-year history of interdisciplinary collaboration, the Knight Campus catalyzes new research opportunities, forges partnerships with industrial and clinical practitioners, and provides integrated experiential training for the next generation of citizen scientists and entrepreneurs. Initial faculty expertise is in areas such as regenerative medicine, human performance, biofunctional materials, medical devices and biosensors, neural engineering, protein engineering and synthetic biology. The Department of Bioengineering will be housed in the Knight Campus’ spectacular new building that opened in 2020. A second 175,000 square foot building is scheduled for completion in 2025.

In addition to transformative investments in Eugene, UO is developing its presence in Portland, OR at both downtown and northeast campuses, creating an urban laboratory for professional degree programs managed in close partnership with industry expertise.

Position Summary
Reporting to the Director of Research Advanced Computing Services, the Research Systems Engineer will provide leadership in the design and implementation of hardware and cluster software subsystems including Infiniband networking, GPFS parallel file systems HPC queuing systems. The Research Systems Engineer serves as a member of the systems team to facilitate the administration; integration and maintenance of parallel high- performance computing systems; clusters; and other systems and peripherals, including advanced filesystems and InfiniBand networks. Responsibilities include maintaining and modifying large-scale cyberinfrastructure, diagnosing and resolving issues and determining solutions for system modifications.

The Research Systems Engineer will provide direction and strategic planning for security on the computational and data systems that support UO research needs. They will be the departmental expert on security, and primary interface to the ISO office. In addition, this position will be responsible for security decisions at a high level which have university-wide implications and impact. The Research Systems Engineer is responsible for understanding university-level research strategies and developing system security that provides needed security for current workloads. The design of security configuration for the HPC systems must also have the flexibility to support changes in restricted data as the University's research needs change. To enable the near- and long-term security goals of the HPC systems the Research Systems Engineer will develop, implement, and assess performance of the security configuration.

The Research Systems Engineer will also have a leadership role in the Research Advanced Computing Services departmental cloud strategy. Using their experience in moving workloads to cloud only platforms or providing bursting capabilities from the Talapas cluster to cloud resources, the Research Systems Engineer will evaluate and decide on cloud strategies based on their understanding of UO research needs. This position will have the authority, in discussions with researchers, to grant exceptions to the RACS cloud policies.

The Research Systems Engineer works with Information Services and Research Advanced Computing Services team members and leaders to accomplish complex system design, integration, deployment, administration projects, system performance analyses, and problem resolution. This position provides technical assistance and consultation for faculty, researchers, students, and technical staff on the use of high-performance computing platforms. The Research Systems Engineer will independently decide on the modification of systems based on researcher needs to provide the best possible support.

The Research Systems Engineer will be comfortable working and consulting with interdisciplinary researchers to evaluate the technical needs for computational research. Based on those needs, the Research Systems Engineer will make independent decisions on the design of new hardware to support researchers from a broad spectrum of departments and centers.
