Project description

Functions Engineer for Graphics & 3D Rendering is providing technical effort for the development of functions/algorithms, in particular that the function/algorithm is completed according to its specification, within the defined time frame, while following the applicable development process. This can also include the cross-functional coordination of defined work packages of the V-Model (requirements, design, implementation, testing) and delivery of the function(s) until the SOP.
