Did you know VMware does graphics? The Interactive Devices Team is responsible for making the 2D, video and 3D experience inside a virtual machine as good as native. In addition we write the mouse and keyboard drivers for our virtual machines. We define our own virtual GPU, write guest device and are responsible for platform backend rendering engines.

We work on the latest industry standard 3D API’s for our desktop product line (Workstation and Fusion) as well as breaking new ground with server-based graphics for VMware’s ESX hypervisor. Our group makes it possible to have Direct3D applications running on top Linux or OS X. We allow for a running 3D application to be moved from an NVIDIA GPU to AMD or Intel.

We are seeking a highly skilled individual contributor with strong systems level skills to help our team continue to raise the bar on virtual graphics and GPGPU.
