R&D Engineer - Graphics
We’re looking for highly skilled Graphics R&D Engineers with expertise in rendering algorithms, hardware-based ray tracing, and performance modeling. The Graphics R&D Engineer will perform in-depth research on rendering algorithms, evaluate competitive approaches, and help translate research concepts into computationally efficient models.
This role requires close collaboration with hardware architects and leadership to define proof-of-concept features, provide benchmarking insights, and guide system requirements with a focus on performance. The ideal candidate has an advanced academic background in physics, mathematics, computer engineering, computer science, or a related field, with demonstrated experience in computer graphics.
- Perform in-depth research and analysis on preexisting rendering algorithms.
- Translate rendering concepts into discrete, computationally friendly models.
- Conduct competitive analysis (tools, algorithms, performance benchmarks) and report findings to leadership.
- Collaborate with the Hardware Architect to define PoC features and systems requirements.
- Provide performance estimations and benchmarking data throughout the project.
Education/Experience: Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with a strong focus on algorithms and scientific computing.
Algorithm & Math Expertise: Proficient in advanced calculus, di
