Job Summary
This role is for a graphics algorithm engineer (contractor based) with a strong background in real-time rendering algorithms on GPU, or a background in other advanced use of graphics and rendering algorithms to join a team working at the forefront of 3D graphics algorithm development.
The successful candidate will propose new ideas and develop new algorithms for real-time rendering applications, especially for 3D games. You should have a strong understanding of the modern graphics algorithms used in game engines (Unreal & Unity), e.g., deferred shading/lighting, physically based rendering, advanced image processing, voxel-based global illumination, screen space effects, occlusion culling, shadow algorithms, anti-aliasing algorithms, etc. Experience with global illumination and ray tracing is also important.
You should be able to work well within a close-knit engineering team.
Key Responsibilities:
* Propose new ideas and develop new graphics/rendering algorithms for mobile GPUs.
* Analyze GPU applications to generate performance/power improvements, profile and optimize rendering code and GPU shaders.
* Create new intellectual property with the potential to patent.
This job description is only an outline of the tasks, responsibilities and outcomes required of the role. The jobholder will carry out any other duties as may be reasonably required by his/her line manager. The job description and personal specification may be reviewed on an ongoing basis in accordance with the changing needs of Huawei Research and Development UK Limited.
Person Specification:
Required:
* BSc or MSc in relevant discipline (CS, EE, etc.).
* Years of experience in implementing real-time rendering algorithms, ray tracing or global illumination algorithms.
* Excellent GPU shader programming skills using GLSL or HLSL, etc.
* Hands-on experience with one or more of the following graphics API: Vulkan, OpenGL, Metal, DirectX11 or 12 and/or OpenCL.
* Excellent programming skills using C or C++
*Desired:*
* PhD in relevant field
* Experience in rendering algorithms used in game engines (Unreal, Unity, CryEngine) is highly desirable.
* Experience of temporal and spatial frame upscaling technologies such as FSR and DLSS, particularly if focussed on mobile implementations.
* Python
