Senior Graphics Engineer
Join Corintis as a Senior Graphics Engineer: build a high-performance HPC platform with rendering backend, in a diverse, collaborative team near Lausanne.
About Corintis
Corintis offers innovative microfluidic cooling technologies for AI chips/GPUs and CPUs used in data centres. Working with many of the world’s largest tech companies, our solutions improve compute sustainability and tackle the excessive electricity consumption associated with data centre cooling, which consumes more electricity than New York and London combined.
Ranked as the No.1 Engineering startup in Switzerland for 2025, Corintis offers a friendly and team-oriented workplace, bringing together over 85 people from over 35 nationalities to solve the most significant computing challenges of tomorrow. Based in the EPFL Campus in St. Sulpice, we are closely connected to the local ecosystem and are located a few minutes walk from Lake Geneva.
What You’ll Work On
You will design and build core visualization infrastructure including:
Real-time rendering of CAD models (STEP, BREP) using OCCT + Filament
High-quality tessellation pipelines (curvature-aware, adaptive LOD)
Edge and feature rendering (silhouettes, sharp edges, hidden-line removal)
Physically-based rendering (PBR materials, lighting, shadows, SSAO)
Handling large-scale datasets (millions of triangles / HPC outputs)
Integration with simulation pipelines (VTK-based post-processing)
Streaming and progressive loading of geometry
Debugging rendering artifacts (z-fighting, precision issues, shading errors)
Key Responsibilities
Architect and implement a production-grade CAD rendering pipeline
Integrate OpenCASCADE geometry processing with Filament rendering
Optimize mesh generation, GPU upload, and rendering performance
Implement robust edge rendering and topology-aware visualization
Solve rendering issues such as:
depth precision / z-fighting
incorrect normals / shading artifacts
mesh cracks and tessellation inconsistencies
Build tooling for debugging and validating geometry pipelines
Collaborate with simulation and backend engineers to align visualization with HPC workflows
Contribute to code quality, performance profiling, and system design
