Graphics Software Engineer

Job Overview: Seeking a talented design, implements, and optimizes rendering systems, shaders, and graphics features that deliver visual fidelity and real‑time performance. The role is hands‑on writing C++ and shader code, profiling CPU/GPU workloads, integrating art assets, and collaborating with UX tools (Altia Design/Kanzi Studio/Unity) and QA to ship stable, performant graphics for the target platforms Expect a balance of feature development, debugging, and performance engineering with frequent cross‑discipline collaboration.

Responsibilities:

Implement rendering features: Build lighting, materials, post processing, and animation systems to meet visual and functional requirements.

Write and optimize shaders: Author HLSL/GLSL/Metal shaders and tune them for correctness and performance across GPUs.

Profile and resolve bottlenecks: Use GPU/CPU profilers to identify hotspots and apply algorithmic or memory optimizations.

Integrate 3D assets and pipelines: Work with artists and tools to import, validate, and optimize meshes, textures, and materials.

Debug visual defects: Reproduce rendering issues, trace root causes, and implement robust fixes.

Maintain code quality: Write unit and integration tests, participate in code reviews, and follow engine coding standards.

Collaborate across teams: Coordinate with engine, tools, QA, and product to align on APIs, performance targets, and release scope.

Support platform portability: Implement abstractions and fallbacks for multiple graphics, APIs, and hardware capabilities.

3D asset optimization: Practical skills optimizing 3D assets (Blender, Maya, 3ds Max) for runtime performance

Testing and logging tools: Experience with test harnesses, logging, and trace analysis tools

Hardware knowledge: Familiarity with automotive SoCs and microcontroller constraints

Process automation and CI/CD: Hands on experience automating builds, tests, and CI/CD pipelines for embedded software

Version control: Proficiency with Git, GitHub, SVN or equivalent versioning tools

PLM/ALM tools: Experience with Jira, Polarion, Jazz, or similar product/application lifecycle management systems

Supplier and cross functional coordination: Proven ability to coordinate external personnel and cross functional teams

Communication: Fluency in English for global collaboration and reporting

Mindset: Strong problem solving orientation, diligence, and focus on process optimization

Preferred Qualifications:

Automotive embedded production experience: Proven history developing production software for automotive ECUs

Operating systems: Experience with Linux, Android, QNX, Integrity, or other RTOSs

Communication protocols: Knowledge of CAN, LIN, Ethernet, UART, SPI, and SOME/IP

Process and safety standards: Familiarity with A SPICE and ISO 26262 functional safety practices

Cybersecurity: Understanding of ISO 21434 and automotive cybersecurity considerations

Test practices: Experience with test driven development and writing/verifying test cases and test suites

Agile experience: Demonstrated ability to work in Agile Scrum environments

Advanced development and AI: Experience applying AI/GenAI for development automation, documentation, or advanced feature work

QNX specialization: Hands on development on QNX, using QNX Momentics IDE, and analyzing QNX logs/traces

IPC and POSIX: Knowledge of inter process communications, SOME/IP, and POSIX APIs

GenAI and AI assisted coding: Practical experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot) and GenAI tools to accelerate development and improve code quality
