Graphics Programmer

AILiveSim accelerates AI innovation with intelligent targeted simulation to train and test AI algorithms. With applications in machine vision, smart industrial machines and maritime, AILiveSim is currently extending its activities to new applications and verticals.

We are currently on the lookout for an adventurous Graphics programmer whose first challenge will be to implement thermal and image based sensors to join our development team. In this role, you will take part in developing advanced sensor simulations using Unreal Engine. Your primary responsibilities include implementing necessary hooks in the rendering pipeline, shaders and materials for mimicking imaged based sensors at different wavelengths. You will also be able to work on other parts of the application, improving the look and performance of our software. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to ground-breaking projects at the intersection of simulation and artificial intelligence.

Key Responsibilities:
– Develop and maintain simulations for thermal and image based sensors for our simulation systems.
– Improve and enhance the realism and performance of of our simulations so they represent real world conditions.
– Collaborate closely with technical artists and other programmers to create integrated solutions
– Create shaders and visual effects to obtain desired outcomes/or create shaders and visual effects that mimic thermal and infrared sensor outputs, focusing on accuracy and real-time performance.
– Design, implement, test, debug, optimize various elements of the simulator with a focus on sensor data visualization and environmental accuracy.

Requirements:
– Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
– 3+ years of experience as a game developer, graphics programmer, or in a similar role.
– Advanced expertise in C/C++ programming
– Strong experience with real-time sensor simulation or graphics programming, particularly involving thermal or image-based sensors.
– Strong experience with performance profiling and optimization for both the GPU and/or CPU.
– Effective communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including artists, designers, and engineers

Additional Assets for the role:
– Extensive knowledge of graphics programming, with with experience in simulating thermal and infrared effects using custom shaders.
– Familiarity with LWIR (Long-Wave Infrared) and SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared) thermal imaging technologies.
– Understanding of the physics behind thermal imaging and sensor data, and the ability to translate this into highly accurate software solutions.
– Deep understanding of the graphics pipeline as well as experience with DirectX 12 or Vulkan.
– Proficiency in shader programming, particularly in simulating thermal effects, such as creating custom shaders for thermal imaging.
– Previous experience in 3D graphics or VFX programming, preferably in Unreal Engine.
– Knowledge of additional languages such as Python is a plus.
