Simulation
From the early days, simulated physics has been the foundation of the way users build in Roblox.
The Simulation Core team develops Roblox's proprietary physics engine. Our team shapes the architecture of the simulation engine, handling collision detection, how we step the world, optimizing for low-level performance, and dictating how both the game engine and external developers work with physics.
Requirements
We're looking for someone with interest in working in real-time simulation systems. Experience in the games industry is a bonus.
- C++ experience. The basics, common STL, and good taste.
- Fluent in 3D math and linear algebra
- Multithreading and thread safety
- You have a understanding of modern computer architecture ( x86 and ARM), cache coherency. Essentials of writing efficient cross platform code.
