ADG develops tools and techniques for high-fidelity computer graphics and simulation. Our goal is to expand and enhance creative storytelling in the Star Wars universe through real-time rendering of film-quality imagery. Our work can also be seen powering many of the ILMxLAB immersive experiences.

As a Sr Rendering/Graphics Engineer you will develop new techniques for real-time rendering, deliver tools and technology that empower storytellers, and collaborate with our sister company, Industrial Light & Magic, to leverage existing knowledge and solutions. You will set new bars for what can be achieved with real-time rendering.

Responsibilities:
•Investigate, prototype, and implement solutions for high-fidelity rendering in a real-time context.
•Extend and create solutions for lighting, VFX, post-processing
•Integrate solutions into a customized version of the Unreal Engine.
•Provide deep domain expertise in the area of rendering.
•Work with artists to develop and implement their vision.
•Plan and manage tasks and schedules effectively.
•Collaborate with other engineers to form a highly productive team. Required Skills Education / Experience:
•Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or Scientific discipline. Advanced degree preferred
