As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll improve our VTK-based rendering pipeline, investigate alternative libraries, and address display bottlenecks.
Position Overview:
As a Senior Software Engineer on our Graphics team, you’ll work on software that handles geometric complexity beyond what many CAD tools can manage. Our Flow print setup software is built to give users a smooth, interactive experience while working with highly detailed models, and maintaining that fluidity is critical to how efficiently they can set up builds. In this role, you’ll take ownership of evolving— and potentially reimagining— our rendering pipeline to support increasingly complex geometry, balancing performance, scalability, and visual clarity.
Responsibilities
- Improve our existing VTK-based rendering pipeline
- Investigate alternative foundational libraries to potentially move to
- Work with our applications engineers to understand and fix key display bottlenecks.
Requirements
- Extensive experience with C++
- Experience dealing with graphics pipelines
- Experience with parallel computation
Nice to Haves
- Familiarity with VTK
