Senior Engineer - Rendering System; Android

Overview

Huawei Canada has an immediate permanent opening for a Senior Engineer - Rendering System (Android).

About the team:
The Software-Hardware System Optimization Lab continuously improves the power efficiency and performance of smartphone products through software-hardware systems optimization and architecture innovation. We keep tracking the trends of cutting-edge technologies, building the competitive strength of mobile AI, graphics, multimedia, and software architecture for mobile phone products.

• Architect, design, and lead the development of core rendering systems and graphics features across diverse computing architectures (CPU, GPU, and NPU).
• Own the Android rendering architecture within Unreal Engine, ensuring scalability, performance, and maintainability.
• Drive advanced performance optimization efforts across the entire rendering pipeline. You ll establish performance budgets, profiling best practices, and lead the deep-diving analysis to solve the most challenging bottlenecks on constrained mobile hardware.
• Lead the technical design and prototyping of next-generation features, leveraging Unreal Engine s capabilities to showcase cutting-edge AI-driven rendering techniques.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through design discussions, code reviews, and technical guidance, fostering a culture of quality and innovation.
• Act as a key technical liaison, collaborating with game designers, artists, and GPU driver engineers to define technical requirements and ensure project milestones are met with the highest quality standards.

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a significant focus on real-time graphics and rendering systems.
• Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ and a deep, proven understanding of data-oriented design principles and software architecture in the context of high-performance systems.
• Deep, hands-on expertise with modern graphics APIs (Vulkan is highly preferred; OpenGL and Metal are also relevant).
• Expert-level understanding of Unreal Engine s rendering pipeline (RHI, rendering passes, shader compilation, material system).
• Proven track record of shipping multiple titles or products, with demonstrable contributions to the rendering engine or graphics performance.
• Mastery of low-level performance profiling and optimization techniques on mobile hardware using tools like Unreal Insights, Android GPU Inspector (AGI), Render Doc, or platform-specific profilers.
• Bachelor s or Master s degree in Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Bonus Points:
  • Experience with GPU-driven rendering pipelines or compute shaders for graphics related tasks.
  • Familiarity with machine learning concepts and their application in rendering (e.g., NPU).
  • Experience writing and optimizing shaders in SPIR-V.

• Mid-Senior level

• Full-time

• Information Technology
• Telecommunications
