- Innovation Mindset: Passion for pushing the boundaries of real-time physics in interactive simulation.
- Leadership & Mentorship : Ability to guide developers, set technical direction for an area, and enforce best practices.
- Problem-Solving : Creative and analytical approach to complex simulation challenges.
- Communication : Clear articulation of technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Run a team that owns the physics architecture: Define data models, simulation loops, solver strategies, and integration points across engine and simulation systems.
- Deliver core physics features: Collision detection (broad ‑ phase/narrow ‑ phase), entity controllers, vehicle dynamics with an emphasis on orbital mechanics, particles/fluid mechanics (with an emphasis on atmospheric dynamics).
- Integrate with simulation logic (gameplay) & animation: Build physics ‑ driven interactions, authoring tools, and runtime hooks (e.g., inverse kinematics, state machines, event systems).
- Performance ownership: Profile, optimize, and budget frame time and memory across platforms; lead multi-threading/Job System/SIMD efforts; evaluate GPU compute opportunities.
- Stability & robustness: Establish test suites, golden scenarios, and verification and validation practices; reduce edge ‑ case instability (stacking, tunneling, jitter, constraint drift).
- Tooling & workflow: Build/debug tools, visualizers, probes, and authoring pipelines that accelerate designer iteration and QA efficiency.
- Cross ‑ functional leadership: Partner with back-end, AI, data pipeline, and platform teams; communicate constraints/trade ‑ offs; align milestones with production.
- Mentorship & standards: Guide engineers via code reviews, design docs, and coding standards; cultivate a high bar for craft, documentation, and reproducibility.
- Quality & live support: Own crash triage and regression control for physics; support content changes post ‑ launch without destabilizing the simulation.
- Design, implement, and optimize real-time rendering pipelines (e.g., forward, deferred, ray tracing).
- Develop and maintain shaders using HLSL, GLSL, ShaderLab, or Shader Graph.
- Responsible for graphics API Integration work with low-level APIs like DirectX 11/12, Vulkan, Metal, or OpenGL ES.
- Guide junior and mid-level engineers, conduct code reviews, and enforce best practices across studio teams.
- Take responsibility for major subsystems (e.g., lighting, post-processing, material systems).
