What You Will Do
Come join the best and brightest minds in the world at one of the most innovative and creative multidisciplinary research institutions! The Computer Computational and Statistical Sciences Division (CCS) is looking for a Program Manager to lead the Computational Systems and Software Environment (CSSE) program Element within the Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) program at Los Alamos National Laboratory. As the Program Manager you will provide programmatic leadership and portfolio management for the CSSE program element. Working with fellow program managers and the management teams in CCS HPC XCP T and XTD Divisions you will plan integrated activities and deliverables within the ASC program and across the LANL nuclear weapons program in support of an evolving predictive capability for the simulation of nuclear weapons within a dramatically shifting technology market. This role thrives on engagement with the broader simulation expertise at LANL in areas including astrophysics climate energy and other LANL mission relevant applications.
The line organization for this position is CCS. The position reports to the ASC Program Directors Office for program matters. The scope of the CSSE program includes the industry focus on accelerating technology; specialized hardware design and beyond Moores law technologies such as quantum and neuromorphic in ensuring increasing simulation fidelity. There is also a focus on data science specifically machine learning / artificial intelligence to address gaps in simulation and scientific understanding relative to core LANL mission efforts.
You will work closely with line management to develop and sustain an integrated portfolio of projects in computer science and systems research and development that demonstrably impact programmatic activities in weapon physics and engineering computing and validation. Current projects span a broad range of activities from weapons physics application readiness to research development and deployment activities in next-generation computing technologies (including program models and co-design) data analysis and visualization system software for high-performance computing (emphasizing scalability reliability and resilience) extreme-scale data management and storage and advanced communication libraries and parallel tools. In particular close coordination with ASCs Integrated Codes project will be required to support ASCs development of a next generation simulation code. Technical advisement for trilab procurements research contracts as well as for program planning against developing technology trends is required. In addition you will aggressively pursue investments technologies and projects that enable increased productivity of the weapon physics and engineering computing community and to that end maintain a close working relationship with federal program managers in planning of strategy for the ASC program as a whole.
