About the role

  • This role focuses on delivering high-fidelity, real-time 3D environments for in-vehicle infotainment and advanced driver assistance visualizations.
  • You will be the technical anchor for our 3D strategy, moving fluidly between high-level architecture and deep, hands-on implementation within industry-leading engines.

Responsibilities

  • Engine Mastery: Take a primary, hands-on role in developing and optimizing our vehicle HMI using Unreal Engine (C++), Unity3D (C#) or a custom 3D rendering system.
  • You will be responsible for building the core frameworks that power our real-time 3D clusters and HMIs.
  • Architecture & Integration: Design the bridge between vehicle sensor data (SDV and VHAL) and the 3D scene graph, ensuring low-latency visualization of the vehicle's surroundings.
  • Embedded Optimization: Profile and optimize engine performance for automotive-grade SoCs, focusing on memory footprint, GPU utilization, and thermal efficiency.
  • Tooling & Pipelines: Develop custom engine plugins and automated build pipelines to streamline the deployment of 3D assets from design to the target vehicle hardware.
  • Design the bridge between vehicle sensor data (SDV and VHAL) and the 3D scene graph, ensuring low-latency visualization of the vehicle's surroundings.
  • Develop custom engine plugins and automated build pipelines to streamline the deployment of 3D assets from design to the target vehicle hardware.

Requirements

  • Hands-on Engine Expertise:
  • For Unreal: Deep experience with C++, Blueprints, UObject system, and custom shader development (HLSL).
  • Graphics Programming: Strong understanding of the modern rendering pipeline, including PBR, lighting, and post-processing, specifically for mobile or embedded targets.
  • Core Languages: Expert-level proficiency in C++ and familiarity with modern languages like Kotlin or Swift for platform-level integration.
  • Mathematics: Strong foundation in 3D math (vectors, quaternions, matrices) required for complex spatial transformations and camera logic.
  • Deep experience with C++, Blueprints, UObject system, and custom shader development (HLSL).
  • Expert-level proficiency in C++ and familiarity with modern languages like Kotlin or Swift for platform-level integration.
  • Strong foundation in 3D math (vectors, quaternions, matrices) required for complex spatial transformations and camera logic.
  • All documents must be submitted in PDF format and under 30MB in size.
  • For Unity: Mastery of C#, the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP), and custom package development.

Nice to have

  • Experience deploying Unity or Unreal-based HMI onto Android Automotive OS (AAOS) or specialized Linux distributions.
  • Familiarity with emulator-based testing environments (e.g., Cuttlefish) for 3D UI validation.
  • Knowledge of functional safety standards and their impact on real-time graphics in a vehicle environment.
  • Application Review
  • Offer Negotiation
  • The screening procedures may vary depending on the position, schedule, or other circumstances.

Compensation

  • $172,000 to $ 237,800
  • 42dot does not accept unsolicited resumes and will not pay fees for any such submissions.
