- Familiarity with Agile delivery practices and collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence.
- Ability to work with engineering users, understand workload requirements, and translate operational issues into practical improvements.
Desirable Experience
- Experience working in EDA or semiconductor engineering environments.
- Familiarity with EDA tools, license-aware scheduling, large-scale batch workloads, and engineering compute workflows.
- Exposure to container platforms and orchestration technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Kubernetes-native scheduling.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
- Exposure to alternative schedulers such as Slurm or cloud-native workload orchestration systems.
- Experience using AI-assisted tooling, MCP, agentic services, or automation agents to improve diagnostics, operations, optimization, or self-service support.
- Experience operating large-scale distributed systems across both on-premises and cloud infrastructure.

Hpc Engineer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a hpc engineer in Texas?
Most hpc engineer roles in Texas require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, computational engineering, physics, or a closely related field, with a master's degree preferred at research institutions. No state-issued license applies to this role in Texas. Employers at national labs, universities, and defense contractors typically look for demonstrated parallel programming experience, which candidates build through research projects, open-source contributions, or internships at Texas computing centers like the Texas Advanced Computing Center.
How much do hpc engineers make in Texas?
Hpc engineers in Texas earn a median of about $163,860 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $92,940 for the lowest 10% to over $216,260 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire hpc engineers in Texas?
Employers hiring hpc engineers in Texas right now include NVIDIA, Arm, and Baylor Miraca Genetics Laboratories, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's concentration of defense contractors, energy companies running reservoir simulation workloads, and research universities makes it one of the broader HPC hiring markets in the U.S.
Which Texas cities have the most hpc engineer jobs?
Austin, Spring, and Dallas have the most hpc engineer openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its dense energy sector where seismic and reservoir simulation drives HPC demand, Austin attracts roles tied to the Texas Advanced Computing Center and a growing tech industry, and San Antonio benefits from major defense and federal computing installations including those tied to Joint Base San Antonio.
Are there remote hpc engineer jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely software-focused roles because much HPC work involves hands-on cluster administration, on-site hardware troubleshooting, and secure classified systems. About 13% of hpc engineer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting that limitation. The work most likely to be remote involves code optimization, software development for simulation frameworks, and computational science consulting rather than systems operations.
How can I get hired as a hpc engineer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a research assistant or student computing position at a Texas university, particularly through the Texas Advanced Computing Center at UT Austin or supercomputing programs at Texas A&M or Rice University. Candidates with no professional experience can also target junior scientific computing support roles at energy companies in Houston. Building a portfolio of parallel code projects on GitHub, earning an entry-level Linux certification, and contributing to open-source scientific software projects all give early-career candidates a measurable edge.
