User Interaction Intern (Remote, Hybrid options)

Are you interested in solving hard problems? Do you enjoy engineering projects that are more math-intensive? Are passionate about 3D modeling, graphics, and collaborating with multiple engineering teams? 

You will work with large code bases and modern graphics pipelines. You will use your math prowess to write algorithms that process, interact with, and visualize 3D objects in Vectorworks. Your contributions will be visible to all users, leaving a lasting mark on our software.

The user interaction team works on anything the user interacts with on the screen when designing in of our four Computer Aided Design applications. This team creates the click point base functionality of objects. This is one of the more math-intensive groups in R&D!

During this internship, you will:

• Develop and test code to support one of the world's best-selling cross-platform CAD applications.
• Dive into 3D geometry, algorithms, and computational math.
• Work on the imaging and computational aspects of the software. 

Here is what success looks like:

• Proficiency in C++.
• Exceptional math skills.
• Graphics knowledge, including matrix and vector manipulation.
• Familiarity with multithreading.
• Exposure to OpenGL, DirectX, Vulcan, Metal and/or rendering techniques (shaders, transformations). 
• Understanding of platform-based UI (MFC and Cocoa) is a plus, but not required.

2024 Internship session:

Spring: January 16 - May 10

Summer: June 10 - Aug. 16
