The Munich-based company K5 Media Group with several subsidiaries has specialized in the development, (co-)production, marketing and worldwide distribution of innovative audiovisual productions for over 30 years. Currently we are putting together a team to develop a market-leading product in the Virtual Production sector funded by the European Commission.

Your Role

We are seeking an experienced Computer Vision Engineer to play a key role in developing and implementing software solutions. You will work closely with our Technical Director and the development team.

Your Responsibilities

• Computer Vision:
• Implement and optimize image processing algorithms crucial for direct and indirect light capture, as well as the processing of HDR light models.
• Use OpenCV, TensorFlow and PyTorch to build deep learning models in order to improve image processing tasks, such as denoising, upscaling, inverse rendering, and real-time lighting adjustments.
• Software Development:
• Develop and implement software solutions in Python and C++ to support real-time light estimation.
• Utilize and optimize CUDA and GPU computing techniques to maximize real-time performance and improve the efficiency of rendering algorithms.
• Shader/Graphics Programming:
• Develop and optimize shaders and rendering techniques suitable for realistic shadows, reflections, and dynamic light sources.
• Integrate advanced rendering techniques to ensure seamless and realistic integration of virtual set extensions into real environments.
• Technical Integration:
• Collaborate with the VFX team to integrate lighting techniques into Unreal Engine.
• Work on the integration of machine learning models developed in TensorFlow and PyTorch into Unreal Engine workflows.
• Project Collaboration:
• Work closely with the Technical Director and other developers to ensure that complex technical and visual requirements are met.

What you need to succeed

• Strong knowledge of Python, C++ and Unreal Engine as a plus
• Proficiency in image processing and computer vision, particularly with OpenCV.
• Experience with CUDA for optimizing GPU-based computation processes.
• Experience with TensorFlow and PyTorch for machine learning and image processing applications.
• Experience in developing and optimizing shaders and rendering techniques.

What´s in it for you

• Market-driven remuneration and benefits based on experience.
• Enormously sophisticated job in terms of content with the opportunity to build and develop an innovative product from scratch and be a part from the very beginning.
• Plenty of autonomy, flexible working hours, hybrid working option (Centrally located office in the heart of Munich with free drinks and snacks, after work events, etc.).
