About the role

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer - 3D Visualization (OpenGL) to join our team. This role is responsible for owning significant features of the real-time 3D visualization used in every Prism Mapping procedure.

Responsibilities

  • Own significant rendering subsystems: anatomy rendering, signal/activation overlays, catheter visualization, interactive 3D camera and selection.
  • Optimize the OpenGL/VTK rendering pipeline for real-time performance under realistic clinical workloads.
  • Drive root cause on hard rendering problems: shader bugs, GPU memory issues, frame-rate cliffs, cross-driver behavior.
  • Own features, components, or subsystems end-to-end.
  • Determine the technical approach for complex component- and subsystem-level problems with limited supervision.
  • Lead development across design, implementation, integration, and support for assigned areas.
  • Contribute to software architecture, design improvements, engineering practices, and development processes.
  • Provide technical leadership through code reviews, mentoring, and guidance.
  • Collaborate effectively across software, systems, hardware, and quality in a regulated environment.

  • Strong production experience with OpenGL, WebGL, Vulkan, DirectX, or comparable rendering API; experience with VTK or comparable 3D toolkits.
  • Experience integrating real-time 3D rendering with Qt/QML application UIs.
  • Comfort debugging at the GPU level: shaders, driver behavior, memory budgets, frame-rate analysis.
  • Strong Python and/or C++ expertise, with a track record of delivering production software.
  • Experience building large, complex software applications or subsystems.
  • Experience with Linux, networking, and multi-device or distributed systems.
  • Experience with Docker, CI/CD, and automated testing.
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, including the ability to work effectively with ambiguity and incomplete information.
  • Experience contributing to architecture, design standards, or technical direction within a team or subsystem.
