HPC Applications Engineer

Helsing operates on-premises high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure supporting electromagnetics, computational fluid dynamics, and multi-physics simulation. As an HPC Applications Engineer, you will manage the simulation workflow layer built on top of this cluster. You will ensure the solver application stack is reliable, fast to set up, and easy to iterate on, allowing simulation engineers to remain highly productive. Working closely with the HPC infrastructure team, you will build automated end-to-end pipelines, manage results traceability, and serve as the primary technical partner to engineers. The role is based on-site in Munich, with regular travel to our Tussenhausen site.

The day-to-day

• Manage the simulation software stack from installation and configuration to version management across solver releases
• Administer licence servers, monitor utilisation across teams, and engage with vendors to resolve support cases efficiently
• Benchmark solver scaling and tune core counts, memory configuration, and MPI settings to optimise application performance
• Develop parameterised, end-to-end simulation pipelines that automate geometry preparation, meshing, solver execution, and post-processing
• Implement and maintain a results database for rapid retrieval of past simulations and enforce data archival policies aligned with aerospace certification
• Build dashboards for job status visibility and develop tooling for engineers to query and compare simulation results
• Partner with simulation engineers to troubleshoot jobs, resolve blockers, and gather feedback to improve pipeline reliability
• Ensure the platform meets solver and workflow requirements through close collaboration with the HPC infrastructure team.
