What you will do

• Design and develop real-time rendering pipelines for digital twins, autonomous machines, robotics, and virtual jobsite simulations.
• Implement physically based rendering, ray tracing, materials, lighting, weather, atmospheric effects, and scene optimization with Unreal Engine and NVIDIA Omniverse RTX.
• Develop camera, LiDAR, radar, depth, segmentation, and other sensor-rendering capabilities for autonomy, perception, synthetic data, and validation.
• Build shaders, GPU-accelerated features, reusable services, plugins, APIs, tools, and asset-processing workflows using C++ and Python.
• Optimize CPU/GPU performance, memory, latency, throughput, frame time, and visual fidelity across interactive, headless, distributed, and cloud-based workloads.
• Collaborate with perception, simulation, physics, digital twin, platform, and QA teams on sensor outputs, scene composition, integration, testing, and technical documentation.
