  • Experience with installing, configuring, and troubleshooting MATLAB in an HPC context.
  • Experience providing user support via a ticket-based system (e.g., ServiceNow).
  • Experience compiling applications from source code (e.g., using GNU Make, CMake), particularly for GPU-enabled codes using platforms like CUDA or KOKKOS.
  • Strong, methodical problem-solving skills for diagnosing application-level issues.
