Role Posting Log in to save

Join our high-impact engineering team as a mid-level rendering engine developer, where you will design and integrate cutting-edge perception solutions for space-borne platforms. Your primary responsibility is to enhance the in-house rendering engine by accelerating GPU compute with CUDA-based kernels, implementing high-fidelity camera models, and maintaining the C++ API. You will collaborate closely with optical engineers and algorithm developers to ensure that generated data meets strict accuracy and performance requirements. Essential skills include proficiency in modern C++, experience with CUDA development, and familiarity with GPU architectures and profiling tools. Knowledge of physically-based rendering techniques and ray-tracing engines is a plus. This role demands expertise in handling hardware constraints typical of space systems, ensuring the simulation accurately reflects real-world conditions.
