- Working knowledge of Configuration Management (CM) tools and Web Services implementation.
- Understanding the performance limitations encountered by FOSS, COTS and GOTS software, frameworks and tools deployed on High Performance Computers.
- Team members design, build, deploy, test and interpret output from metrics collection capabilities to identify performance limiters and develop courses of action to overcome them.
