Computer Graphics is rapidly changing - AI and neural rendering, DLSS, ray-tracing and differentiable rendering all are relegating traditional triangle rasterization to small and shrinking percentage of the frame. This is causing a rethink of what it means to be a graphics API and driver: what does a graphics driver stack look like when the majority of the pixels created are generated through AI? How do we bring developers who’ve rendered triangles for 20 years over to this new world?

Our team is attempting to steer the Vulkan, SPIR-V ecosystems through this transition - partly with Slang, and probably with more If this seems like an interesting challenge to you, NVIDIA graphics may be for you We seek a Principal Graphics System Engineer. You need to be highly motivated. You need to have used graphics drivers extensively - not just created specs. The perfect candidate will have familiarity with these types of emerging rendering techniques, and be able to help us define the change.

What you'll be doing:

  • Design and implement new emerging graphics features that cut through the entire stack from top level graphics APIs through shading languages and into the driver stack.
  • Driving neural graphics adoption into 3rd party API’s and into customer products
  • Leading multi-functional engineering team developing graphics systems
  • Collaborate with engineering leaders in NVIDIA graphics communities and define next-generation real-time graphics system and software for other accelerators in SoC

What we need to see:

  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related degree with a proven track record on impacting computer graphics industry
  • 15+ years of hands-on experience in shipping graphics driver and/or graphics software
  • Very deep knowledge of GPU hardware and related system software topics such as graphics driver, shader compiler, display, kernel, and operating systems.
  • Strong technical leadership skills for cross-team decision-making on challenging technical or operational aspects of a project
  • Excellent written and verbal interpersonal skills, with the ability to work in a team spread across multiple time zones

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

  • A proven track record in defining new technology frontiers and direction in computer graphics
  • Extensive experience in modern rendering APIs and shading languages such as Vulkan, DirectX12, GLSL, HLSL, and/or SPIR-V
  • Familiarity with how new rendering techniques in research phase such as Gaussian splatting and NeRF are evolving, and an ability to articulate implications to the traditional graphics API stack
  • Experience in using AI based algorithms for super scaling, and frame generation, ray tracing, etc
  • Significant experience with game engines (e.g., Unreal Engine, Unity) and graphics middleware as well as a proven track record in standards bodies and meaningful project contributions within computer graphics
