About this role

This position leads software research and development for 3D display technology intended for future PlayStation gaming. The focus is 3D graphics and algorithm development. Responsibilities include integrating Computer Generated Holography (CGH) into game engines, developing CGH rendering algorithms, and making them operate in real time. Because CGH algorithms are still developing, the work includes implementing published papers and beginning development through technical discussions with collaborating university professors and companies.

Required qualifications include experience with GPU programming, such as shader languages or CUDA, programming experience in C++, C, and Python, and experience using machine learning.

Preferred experience includes developing applications on game engines, developing game-engine plugins, image processing or OpenCV, 3D modeling with tools such as Blender, specialist knowledge of CGH rendering algorithms and diffractive optics, graphics middleware development, application development using OpenXR, and ray tracing.

The team includes engineers working in graphics, machine learning, and application development, along with engineers who design systems, geometric optics, wave optics, and high-speed electrical circuits. This research and development theme is treated as a long-term important research topic within SIE. The selection considers both current skills and the applicant’s potential for future growth.

The successful candidate should be able to lead software development for 3D displays and be interested in creating future gaming experiences. The role works with a US organization and requires English at a level sufficient for working together. The work also involves overseas business trips, participation in international academic conferences and exhibitions, and joint development with overseas vendors. The stated work location is Tokyo, Japan.
