Software Engineer, Exempt, 4P3, 2 Year Fixed Term
Simbios, the Center for Physics-based Simulation of Biological Structures,
is one of eight national centers funded by the National Institutes of Health
to build a biomedical-computing infrastructure to speed progress in
biomedical research.
We are looking for a software engineer with expertise in molecular dynamics
simulations and high performance scientific computing to support and extend
the functionality of our OpenMM and Folding.Home software projects.
OpenMM (
http://simtk.org/home/openmm) is an open-source molecular dynamics
prototyping and simulation software package that runs accelerated
calculations on GPUs. Folding.home (
http://folding.stanford.edu) is a
distributed computing project that uses the power of hundreds of thousands
of CPUs and GPUs around the world to study protein folding.
This position is a fixed term position that will be conterminous with our
grant funding from NIH. Our NIH grant is scheduled to end on August 31,
2014. Should our funding continue beyond this date, this position would
likely be extended.

You will be responsible for the entire software pipeline, including but not
limited to:
* Develop new algorithms and improve the performance of OpenMM,
* Test and validate OpenMM
* Migrate OpenMM code into the Folding.home framework
* Coordinate the release of new Folding.home GPU cores
* Act as liaison to GPU manufacturers NVIDIA and AMD
* Actively participate in both the OpenMM and Folding.home support
forums
* Contribute to user documentation
QUALIFICATIONS
Minimum Requirements
* Experience in scientific algorithm development, high performance
computing applications, and molecular dynamics simulations
* Requires a minimum of five years programming experience
* Four year college degree or equivalent years of applicable
experience.
* Experience and comfort with professional software development
practices
* Excellent communication skills, both written and oral
* Possess an understanding of the underlying biology
Desired Requirements
* MS or PhD in physics, biochemistry, bioinformatics, computer
science, engineering, or life sciences or an equivalent combination of
education and experience
* Experience programming in C++, Python, and OpenCL
* Experience programming graphics processing units (GPUs)
* Experience with Windows, Unix, Linux, Mac platform cross-development
* Has experience working in an interdisciplinary environment
Resume & Cover Letter are mandatory for consideration.
The final candidate will need to successfully pass a background check to be
considered for this position.
Stanford University values diversity and is committed to equal opportunity
in employment.
