Defining a Mid-Career Cross-Industry Shift into HPC Engineering

Published: 10 September 2023 Publication History

Abstract

I provide an overview of my experiences entering the workforce as an associate research solutions engineer at Purdue University’s Rosen Center for Advanced Computing after transitioning from the food service industry. The analysis includes my experience adapting to a different work philosophy. I will also present examples and ideas of what additional education training, and processes has been beneficial to provide guideposts for others transitioning into a career in HPC.
