GPU SW Engineer | 12-month Inside IR35 contract | Onsite in Cambridge
A global leader in telecommunications and consumer electronics is seeking a GPU Software Engineer to join a specialised team on a contract basis. The company is currently focused on investigating and designing cutting-edge features for 3D graphics APIs, exploring how these advancements will shape the performance of both current and future GPU generations.
The role involves working alongside hardware and software architects to bridge the gap between API evolution and physical silicon design. You will be responsible for evaluating improvements to 3D Graphics APIs, prototyping interface changes, and drafting new specifications that push the boundaries of modern rendering.
Primary Responsibilities
The position requires a hands-on approach to developing new API features and extensions. You will investigate enhancements to 3D Graphics APIs, analysing their implications on hardware architecture and software efficiency. A key part of the work involves performance analysis and creating prototypes to demonstrate the real-world advantages of proposed API changes in gaming and high-end rendering scenarios.
Candidate Requirements
The successful engineer will bring a deep understanding of GPU architectures and the specific workloads they face. You should possess:
* A BSc, MSc, or PhD in a relevant technical discipline.
* At least 4 years of experience in GPU software architecture or driver development.
* Practical experience with one or more major APIs, such as Vulkan, DirectX (11 or 12), OpenGL ES, or Metal.
* Strong C/C++ programming skills and a solid grasp of the graphics rendering pipeline, including rasterisation and ray-tracing.
* The ability to communicate complex technical ideas effectively and work comfortably with emerging, immature technologies.
* Experience with neural rendering, mesh shading, or ray-tracing pipelines would be highly advantageous. This is an excellent opportunity to influence the future of graphics technology within a world-renowned engineering environment.
