Who are we? Reality Simulation Systems Inc. (RSSI) is a computer graphics start up company with an innovative 3D rendering technology known as PixelSquir. PixelSquirt technology offers several marked improvements over the traditional methods of 3D rendering and will enable users of the technology to offer superior 3D performance at a price point unreachable by the competition. The technology has an expanding customer portfolio that demands RSSI expand it’s engineering team. What are our products? RSSI’s products include intellectual property licensing and direct chip development. Our product development originated from virtual reality simulation work begun at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s incubator center. It saw its first commercial use in the S-MOS PIX chip, the only chip to offer main memory texture map storage and under-$100 OEM board pricing. . The technology is now in its third generation and will feature advanced on-chip texture map processing, lighting effects, and anti-aliasing. Who are we looking for? We are looking for energetic, motivated individuals with a basic foundation in logic design and software development. Knowledge of 3D graphics or previous 3D chip design is not a requirement. Some of our positions are entry level and others require previous design experience However all of our positions share one thing in common. Each individual has an important contribution to make to the team. Everyone will be a key contributor to this exciting start up. Our Environment We are located in the heart of the Silicon Valley environment of San Jose, CA. You will be working and interacting with some of the most dynamic companies and individuals in the industry. The results of you work will be shown at some of the most exciting shows our industry has to offer from Siggraph to Computer Games Development Conference to Hot Chips. What are we offering? All of our positions are offer highly competitive salaries, first round equity positions, and a comprehensive benefit package. For those considering a move to Northern California from outside the region we offer relocation and housing assistance. Here are some of our current opportunities.
