The Rendering Engineer will join the team to design and implement high-fidelity, real-time rendering and sensor simulation capabilities for digital twins, autonomous machines, robotics, and virtual jobsite environments. The role involves building scalable rendering pipelines, creating shaders, and developing physically grounded camera, LiDAR, and radar outputs to support perception development and synthetic data generation. Key responsibilities include implementing physically based rendering, ray tracing, and scene optimization using Unreal Engine and NVIDIA Omniverse RTX. The candidate will utilize C++, Python, HLSL, GLSL, CUDA, Vulkan, and DirectX to develop tools and assets while ensuring high performance across CPU and GPU environments. This role addresses the complex challenge of construction autonomy by providing realistic simulation for intelligent machines operating in dynamic jobsites through advanced graphics programming, USD-based scene composition, and automated sensor-output validation within a sophisticated technical ecosystem.
