Job description

Push pixels at 60fps. Build the real-time rendering systems behind AIM's virtual production, LED volume work, and interactive installations.

What you'll do

• Write custom shaders (HLSL/GLSL) and rendering pipelines in Unreal Engine 5 and TouchDesigner.
• Engineer nDisplay configurations for LED volumes; tune color, latency, and genlock for camera tracking.
• Ship GPU-accelerated tools — Niagara systems, Houdini-to-Unreal bridges, and Nanite/Lumen optimizations — that the art team actually uses on set.
• Integrate generative models (diffusion, NeRF, Gaussian Splatting) into a real-time loop without dropping frames.

Who you are

• Six+ years shipping real-time graphics on UE5, Unity HDRP, or a custom engine.
• Deep C++/Python; comfort reading a GPU profiler and arguing about cache misses.
• Production credits on virtual production, AAA games, or location-based entertainment.
