As the Global Software Center of Hyundai Motor Group, 42dot pioneers the future of mobility by advancing the development of software-defined vehicles.\nWe develop safety-first, user-centric software-defined vehicle technologies that deliver the latest performance through continuous updates like smartphones. By advancing software and AI technology, 42dot envisions a world where everything is connected and moves autonomously through a self-managing urban transportation operating system.\nAbout the Role\nWe are seeking a Senior or Staff Software Engineer to lead the development of our next-generation digital cockpit. This role focuses on delivering high-fidelity, real-time 3D environments for in-vehicle infotainment and advanced driver assistance visualizations. You will be the technical anchor for our 3D strategy, moving fluidly between high-level architecture and deep, hands-on implementation within industry-leading engines.\nResponsibilities\nEngine Mastery: Take a primary, hands-on role in developing and optimizing our vehicle HMI using Unreal Engine (C++), Unity3D (C#) or a custom 3D rendering system.\n\nYou will be responsible for building the core frameworks that power our real-time 3D clusters and HMIs.\n\nArchitecture & Integration: Design the bridge between vehicle sensor data (SDV and VHAL) and the 3D scene graph, ensuring low-latency visualization of the vehicle’s surroundings.\n\nEmbedded Optimization: Profile and optimize engine performance for automotive-grade SoCs, focusing on memory footprint, GPU utilization, and thermal efficiency.\n\nTooling & Pipelines: Develop custom engine plugins and automated build pipelines to streamline the deployment of 3D assets from design to the target vehicle hardware.\n\nQualifications\nHands-on Engine Expertise: For Unreal: Deep experience with C++, Blueprints, UObject system, and custom shader development (HLSL).\n\nFor Unity: Mastery of C#, the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP), and custom package development.\n\nGraphics Programming: Strong understanding of the modern rendering pipeline, including PBR, lighting, and post-processing, specifically for mobile or embedded targets.\n\nCore Languages: Expert-level proficiency in C++ and familiarity with modern languages like Kotlin or Swift for platform-level integration.\n\nMathematics: Strong foundation in 3D math (vectors, quaternions, matrices) required for complex spatial transformations and camera logic.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience deploying Unity or Unreal-based HMI onto Android Automotive OS (AAOS) or specialized Linux distributions. Familiarity with emulator-based testing environments (e.g., Cuttlefish) for 3D UI validation. Knowledge of functional safety standards and their impact on real-time graphics in a vehicle environment.\n\nInterview Process\nApplication Review - Coding Test - 1st interview - 2nd interview - Offer Negotiation - Hiring\n\nThe screening procedures may vary depending on the position, schedule, or other circumstances.\nYou will be individually notified of the screening schedule and results via the email address provided in your application.\n\nCompensation\n$172,000 - $237,800\n\nAdditional Information\nIn accordance with fair hiring practices, do not include any personal information unrelated to your job qualifications (e.g., Social Security Number, family relations, marital status, age, photo, physical condition, place of birth, etc.) in your resume.\n\nAll documents must be submitted in PDF format and under 30MB in size.\n\nIf you experience issues uploading your resume, please send it along with the job posting URL to .\n\nWe strongly encourage applications from U.S. veterans and candidates eligible for employment preference under applicable laws.\n\nQualified individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply and will receive consideration under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).\n\n42dot does not accept unsolicited resumes and will not pay fees for any such submissions.
