Do you love developing groundbreaking computer graphics? If you’re a rendering engineer looking to broaden your impact to the most popular game titles through performance analysis and feature innovation, we'd love to talk to you! 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 games, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis and scientific research. Today, visual computing is becoming increasingly central to how people get along with technology, and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team. NVIDIA has been the driving force powering video games since we invented the GPU, and we’ve been innovating ever since. From programmable shaders to ray tracing, we continue to change the way people make and play games.Developer Technology (DevTech) Engineers play a crucial role in the success of NVIDIA and our customers. DevTech Engineers work with external partners to optimize algorithms and applications for GPU accelerated computing environments. As recognized experts in the field, DevTech Engineers have opportunities to publish their findings, and to present at conferences or workshops. As a result of the industry recognition, they are meaningful representatives of NVIDIA as a technology leader. Within NVIDIA, they bring valuable input that can influence next generation hardware and software products. As key problem solvers, they can deepen their expertise or expand their knowledge and work across other domains. No matter if you are a leading industry expert or recent graduate, Developer Technology Engineering provides ample opportunity for growth in the exciting field of accelerated computing!
