Σαν συνέχεια της κουβέντας που κάνετε, να προσθέσω ότι η Nintendo
φαίνεται πως ψάχνει να προσλάβει
έμπειρο graphics architecture engineer/software engineer για την επόμενη κονσόλα της. Βέβαια, είναι γνωστό ότι κάθε εταιρεία ξεκινάει νωρίς να σχεδιάζει την επόμενη κονσόλα της. Η Nintendo παίζει να σχεδιάζει τον διάδοχο του Wii U από τότε που κυκλοφόρησε το τελευταίο. Μένει να δούμε ποιο δρόμο θα ακολουθήσει τώρα η αγαπημένη Ninty. Με το Wii πέτυχε με τα motion controls. Με το Wii U ακόμα δεν έχει φτάσει στο σημείο που θα ήθελε τόσο η ίδια, όσο και οι οπαδοί της. Ελπίζω να ανακάμψει όμως το Wii U, γιατί μπορούμε να δούμε και άλλα ενδιαφέροντα games σε αυτή την κονσόλα.

Description of Duties
- Nintendo Technology Development is looking for a lead graphics architect in the system-on-chip architecture group in Redmond, WA. The group is responsible for the architecture of Nintendo’s game console SoCs. The graphics architect plays a key role in determining the SoC architecture. The job responsibilities are:
- Evaluate HW graphics (GPU) offerings from SoC solutions available in the market based on performance, power, and silicon area.
- Evaluate the performance of the SoC solutions for both proprietary and standard graphics APIs.
- Determine workloads and simulation models for both performance and power characteristics of GPUs.
- Keep track of GPU architectural improvements in the industry and devise strategies to incorporate them for future Nintendo gaming platforms.
- Act as the graphics architectural evangelist working with global Nintendo teams for future and on-going programs.
- Work with external SoC vendors as the Nintendo focal point for graphics GPU architecture.
- Should be prepared to work through architecture, design, validation, and bring-up stages of SoC design in cooperation with internal and external teams.
Summary of Requirements
- The ideal candidate will have had experience working directly in a GPU architecture and design team with significant responsibilities.
- Low power and SoC design experience would be a plus.
- The candidate is expected to have good architectural insights and the ability to apply that for setting future graphics direction for Nintendo.
- A bachelors degree (graduate degree preferred) in computer science/engineering or electrical engineering.
- 5+ years of lead or architectural role experience are required.
