Real-Time Rendering Algorithm Engineer
Description
Geomagical Labs is a 3D research & development lab in strategic partnership with IKEA.
Our first app, IKEA Kreativ, lets customers scan photorealistic 3D digital twins of their indoor spaces with their phones, then edit them with new furnishings in life-like 3D, from anywhere, on web & mobile.
Our team has an opening for a real-time graphics engineer, to drive development of our graphics engine algorithms, and push visual realism, through advanced lighting, shading, shadows, and PBR BRDF materials.
