Job description

Principal engineer – Computer Graphics Architecture

We are seeking a Principal engineer to pioneer innovations in computer graphics architecture, bridging the gap between rendering algorithms, GPU hardware, and parallel computing. You will explore novel architectures to accelerate real-time rendering, ray tracing, neural graphics, and emerging visual computing workloads. This role combines graphics algorithms, GPU architecture, and performance optimization to shape next‑generation rendering systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Research and develop next‑gen graphics architectures for real‑time ray tracing & global illumination, neural rendering & hybrid rasterization/ray tracing pipelines, GPU‑driven rendering, mesh shaders, compute‑based graphics, hardware‑accelerated neural graphics primitives (NGPs).
• Optimize parallel graphics pipelines for modern GPU architectures.
• Design simulation frameworks to evaluate architectural trade‑offs in rendering.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to prototype novel graphics hardware features.
• Publish at top‑tier venues (SIGGRAPH, HPCA, MICRO, Eurographics).

Qualifications

• PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent research experience).
• Strong background in computer graphics, GPU architecture, or parallel computing.
• Expertise in real‑time rendering, ray tracing, or neural graphics pipelines.
• Hands‑on experience with GPU programming (CUDA, Vulkan, DirectX 12, Metal), performance analysis, simulation tools (GPU‑Sim, Gem5, or custom frameworks).
• Track record of publications in SIGGRAPH, Eurographics, ISCA, etc.

Bonus Skills

• Knowledge of AI/GPU co‑design (e.g., AI accelerator for graphics).
• Contributions to open‑source graphics engines or GPU architecture projects.
• Experience with shader optimization, temporal algorithms, or memory hierarchy design.

Why Join Us?

• Work on groundbreaking graphics architecture research with real hardware impact.
• Collaborate with industry‑leading engineers and researchers.
• Access to cutting‑edge GPUs, prototypes, and simulation infrastructure.
• Competitive compensation, patent opportunities, and conference support.
