Its goal is to scale and enhance the high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud infrastructure that supports its clients' research, production, and delivery, enabling breakthroughs that shape the industries of tomorrow. Its engineers build critical infrastructure to eliminate friction in scientific research, simulations, analysis, and decision-making, accelerating discovery and driving faster innovation.\nTHE POSITION\nNMC² is hiring an HPC Systems Engineer to join its infrastructure engineering organization in Dallas, TX, based out of the Victory Commons office. This is a cross-domain technical role responsible for ensuring that HPC infrastructure is designed, integrated, and delivered as a cohesive end-to-end platform rather than a collection of independently optimized parts. The Systems Engineer works horizontally across the compute, storage, networking, Kubernetes, automation, and data center infrastructure teams, driving technical alignment, resolving cross-functional dependencies, and reducing integration risk across large-scale AI and HPC deployments.\nThis role is built for engineers who think beyond a single technology domain. Great performance here looks like anticipating the failure modes that live between teams - the fabric assumption that breaks a storage design, the power and cooling constraint that reshapes a rack layout, the scheduler behavior that undermines a networking decision - and resolving them in design rather than in production. The Systems Engineer translates business objectives into scalable, reliable infrastructure solutions and holds the system-level view that no individual domain team owns on its own.\nThe role partners closely with domain engineering leads across compute, storage, networking, and data center infrastructure, as well as with automation and platform teams, operations, and hardware and technology vendors. Influence here is earned through engineering depth, collaboration, and sound judgment rather than positional authority, and the Systems Engineer is expected to shape technical direction across teams accordingly.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nDrive cross-domain technical alignment across the compute, storage, networking, Kubernetes, automation, and data center infrastructure teams.\n\nLead integrated design reviews for new HPC deployments, platform expansions, and major infrastructure initiatives.\n\nIdentify technical dependencies, design gaps, scalability constraints, and integration risks throughout the delivery lifecycle.\n\nPartner with domain engineering teams to define end-to-end architecture, engineering standards, and implementation readiness criteria.\n\nEnsure infrastructure designs meet requirements for performance, resiliency, scalability, and long-term operational supportability.\n\nDevelop system-level engineering specifications that define how infrastructure components integrate and interoperate.\n\nParticipate in failure analysis, resiliency reviews, and operational readiness assessments ahead of production turnover.\n\nCollaborate with automation teams to improve deployment consistency, validation, lifecycle management, and operational efficiency.\n\nServe as a technical point of escalation for cross-team integration issues, arbitrating architectural tradeoffs where domain priorities conflict.\n\nInfluence engineering direction and platform standards across the organization through design authorship, review, and technical mentorship.\n\nREQUIREMENTS\nBachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.\n\n8+ years of experience in systems engineering, product engineering, HPC, cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, or data center infrastructure.\n\nDeep expertise in at least one infrastructure domain - compute, networking, storage, Kubernetes, or data center infrastructure - with broad working knowledge across adjacent domains.\n\nWorking familiarity with the components of a modern AI/HPC platform, such as GPU compute (NVIDIA H100/H200 class), high-speed fabrics (InfiniBand NDR/HDR, RoCEv2), scale-out storage (VAST Data, WekaFS, Lustre, or GPFS), and Kubernetes or Slurm-based scheduling.\n\nExperience with infrastructure automation and lifecycle tooling such as Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines.\n\nStrong understanding of system-level dependencies, architectural tradeoffs, and downstream operational impacts.\n\nProven ability to lead technical discussions and drive alignment across multiple engineering teams without direct authority.\n\nExcellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical concepts to both engineering and leadership audiences.\n\nAbility to thrive in a fast-paced environment with evolving requirements and aggressive delivery timelines.\n\nIt is impossible to list every requirement for, or responsibility of, any position. Similarly, we cannot identify all the skills a position may require since job responsibilities and the Company’s needs may change over time. Therefore, the above job description is not comprehensive or exhaustive. The Company reserves the right to adjust, add to or eliminate any aspect of the above description. The Company also retains the right to require all employees to undertake additional or different job responsibilities when necessary to meet business needs.\nMust be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship, now or at any time in the future.\nBenefits & Perks:\nCompany-Paid Lunch Stipend: Lunch is provided via GrubHub\n\nCompany-Paid Benefits: 100% Employer-Paid Medical in our High Deductible Health Plan, Dental and Vision benefits for employees and their families, 16 weeks of Paid Parental Leave, Employee Assistance Program, Life insurance, Short-Term Disability and Long-Term Disability\n\n401(k): Company will match 100% of your contributions up to 6%\n\nOptional Employee-Paid Benefits: Medical insurance in our PPO plan and a variety of other benefits such as Health Savings Accounts (with Company Contribution!), Flexible Spending Accounts, Supplemental Life Insurance, Wellhub and more.\n\nTime Off: 25 days of Paid Time Off plus 12 company holidays\n\n EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER\nNORTHMARK STRATEGIES LLC IS AN EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER.
