InactiveEvening,
I was flicking through Edge and I noticed Rare had an ad for R&D software engineers.
What sort of work would that entail? Developing new I.P.?
I’m not thinking of applying or anything, just curious.

InactiveTypically r&d engineers are core technology\central technology programmers. They would develop components used by all the games teams. Interfaces for input device related stuff, graphics pipeline, optimization, networking, physics, sounds etc. Pretty much anything you use to make a game.
Every company has their own name for it, at Rare its R&D engineers, and SRS its core technology engineers and at codemasters its central technology engineers. -

InactiveThanks peter_b!
I was sort of thinking it was a bit of Tools programming as well.

InactiveI’m not sure I agree on this… AFAIK, Rare refer to their engine team as the Shared Technology Group. They also have advertised positions for STG Software Engineers.
R&D in next-gen magic at our place tends to be done separately, and then redesigned and refactored for inclusion in the engine once it’s sufficiently developed.
