Principal Developer Technology Engineer – Advanced Rendering & AI in Games
About the Role
For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics. With our invention of the GPU—the engine of modern visual computing—the field has expanded to encompass PC gaming, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis, scientific research, and AI. Today, AI and visual computing are becoming central to how people interact with technology, and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team.
We are now seeking a Principal Developer Technology Engineer to focus on advanced rendering, including path tracing and neural graphics, as well as the broader adoption of AI technology in gaming.
Key Responsibilities
Collaborate with some of the most innovative AAA developers globally to:
- Optimize GPU and system performance for fastest and most fluid gameplay, with path-traced neural rendering and complex AI behaviors.
- Develop, profile, optimize, and tune neural rendering algorithms and AI models to maximize computing resources.
- Work closely with NVIDIA’s architecture and driver teams to enhance performance on current and next-gen hardware.
- Explore cutting-edge GPU technology, create technical demos, write whitepapers, and present work at industry conferences.
