AR/VR Developer

Responsibilities

• Build immersive and realistic simulations using Unreal Engine 5.3+ (preferably 5.5), utilizing Nanite, Lumen, and the Chaos physics system.
• Integrate and collaborate through NVIDIA Omniverse, leveraging USD-based asset pipelines and real-time scene synchronization.
• Set up and optimize VR streaming pipelines using CloudXR, SteamVR, or ALVR for seamless headset experiences over cloud infrastructure.
• Optimize and prepare 3D environments for remote rendering, ensuring smooth performance across various VR headsets (Meta Quest 3, Pico 4 Enterprise, Lenovo VRX).
• Implement custom physics simulations (e.g., radiation, eddy currents, ultrasonic waves, capillary action) within Unreal Engine.
• Deploy simulations on high-performance GPU servers (RTX 6000 Ada / 4090) via AWS, Azure, or dedicated infrastructure.
• Maintain low latency (<30ms) and bandwidth efficiency (25–50 Mbps per user) for real-time VR experiences.
• Collaborate with 3D artists and developers using version control (Git, Perforce) and project management tools (Trello, Jira, Omniverse Nucleus).
• (Optional) Contribute to web dashboards for trainers or admin management using React and Node.js.

Requirements

• Proven experience in Unreal Engine 5 development (Blueprints and C++).
• Strong understanding of real-time rendering, lighting systems (Lumen), and Nanite optimization techniques.
• Familiarity with NVIDIA Omniverse and USD-based collaborative workflows.
• Experience with VR streaming and cloud deployment (CloudXR, SteamVR, ALVR).
• Working knowledge of AWS or Azure cloud services, particularly GPU-based instances.
• Experience working with VR hardware (Meta, Pico, Lenovo) in both Wi-Fi and tethered configurations.
• Understanding of 3D asset pipelines and tools such as Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Substance Painter, and Quixel Mixer.
• Ability to simulate real-world physical behaviors in Unreal Engine for industrial use cases.

Preferred Qualifications

• Scripting with Python for Omniverse automation or tool development.
• Knowledge of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) standards such as ISO or ASNT.
• Experience with hand tracking, haptics, and gesture-based interaction.
• Familiarity with QA testing across multiple headset types.
• Exposure to web technologies like React and Node.js.
