Vulkan Graphics Engineer

Aversan Inc. (www.aversan.com) is a trusted multi-service engineering and electronics manufacturing company. Aversan delivers leading-edge and reliable safety-critical electronics and software systems to the aerospace, defense, and space industries.
We are currently seeking a qualified Vulkan Graphics Engineer to join our team. The Vulkan Graphics Engineer will be responsible for developing, integrating, debugging, and certifying graphics processing unit (GPU) drivers that implement Vulkan SC, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Location: Canada/US
Job Type: Remote

Responsibilities

• Develop, integrate, debug, and certify GPU drivers that implement Vulkan SC across multiple GPUs.
• Develop, integrate, debug, and certify products based on Vulkan SC.
• Ensure compliance with Khronos-based conformance test suites for all open standard interfaces.
• Develop internal, robust test suites for both Vulkan SC drivers and derived products to support quality assurance.
• Develop baseline drivers and product components on Windows/Linux, later deploying them on safety-critical operating systems and targets.
• Adhere to regulatory guidelines and generate relevant artifacts to support certification activities.
• Follow defined coding standards and contribute to the entire software development lifecycle, from proof of concept to formal design and review of software components (architecture capture, high/low-level requirement creation, and code implementation).

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mathematics.
• 1-4 years of experience for an entry-level position, 4-8 years for a senior role, and 8+ years for a principal role in software development for accelerated graphics and compute platforms (experience with embedded safety-critical systems is a plus).
• Strong organizational, communication, collaboration, and team-building skills.
• Excellent C/C++ programming skills.
• Experience in programming and optimizing GPU & compute drivers and applications.
• Knowledge and experience with 3D graphics & compute APIs (OpenGL, Vulkan, etc.).
• Experience with multi-threading and concurrent programming (multi-core work distribution is a plus).
• Proficiency in Windows and Linux development.
• Strong debugging skills and familiarity with performance analysis tools.

Requirement 

• Experience with open standard graphics and compute FACE/Khronos interfaces (OpenGL SC 1.0, OpenGL SC 2.0, Vulkan SC, OpenCL, SYCL, OpenVX, BLAS/FFT, NNEF, H.264/H.265 Video Encode/Decode).
• Experience with relevant programming languages (C/C++, GLSL, ESSL, SPIR-V, GPU-ISA, Graphics and Compute Shaders, CUDA, Python).
• Hands-on experience with GPUs from ARM, Imagination Technologies, or Intel IrisXE.
• Knowledge of safety-critical embedded real-time graphics driver development, RTOS, hypervisors, multi-core CPU configurations, inter-process communication, and virtualization mechanisms.
• Experience with embedded operating systems such as LynxOS, VxWorks, Integrity, Deos, and QNX.
• Familiarity with certification compliance artifacts and audit support, including requirement traceability, structural coverage, and MISRA coding standards.
• Experience working with geographically distributed development teams.
• Proficiency with development tools such as Git, Jira, CodeBeamer, DOORS, RTC, and RTRT.
• Understanding of both waterfall and agile development methodologies (Scrum Master certification is a plus).
• Experience with Six Sigma, Lean principles, CMMI, and OKRs.
• Experience with DO-178 and ISO 26262 is a plus.
