Job Title: Contractor – Graphics Software Engineer (Dynamic Gaussian Splatting, On-Device XR, Android)

Job Overview

We are seeking a contractor Graphics Software Engineer to support development of real-time Gaussian Splatting–based rendering systems for avatar and XR applications running on-device (edge devices such as Android phones and AR glasses).

This role focuses on GPU optimization, memory-efficient data pipelines, and real-time Gaussian Splatting rendering under mobile constraints. The ideal candidate will be highly hands-on and able to quickly improve performance-critical systems deployed directly on hardware.

Key Responsibilities

1. Gaussian Splatting Rendering

• Develop and optimize Dynamic Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) rendering pipelines
• Improve performance of splat-based rendering, including sorting, data layout, and shader efficiency
• Analyze and resolve issues such as:
• Splat flickering and popping
• Sorting inconsistencies
• Precision differences between CPU and GPU

2. On-Device GPU Optimization (Android / Edge Devices)

• Optimize Gaussian Splatting pipelines for mobile GPUs (e.g., Adreno) on Android
• Ensure efficient execution under limited memory, bandwidth, and power constraints
• Tune rendering for real-time performance on phones and AR glasses

3. Data Pipeline & Memory Efficiency

• Design compact data representations for Gaussian Splatting frame data
• Optimize CPU → GPU data transfers for real-time rendering
• Eliminate intermediate processing and reduce runtime memory overhead

4. Shader Development & Rendering Pipeline Integration

• Implement GPU shaders tailored to Gaussian Splatting data formats
• Optimize shader input pathways for efficient on-device execution

• Collaborate closely with XR, vision, and avatar teams
• Contribute to on-device demos and prototype systems (phones / AR glasses)
• Execute quickly on well-defined tasks with strong ownership of implementation

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• Strong programming skills in C/C++
• Experience with Android platform development
• Experience with GPU programming (OpenGL ES, Vulkan, or similar)
