Immersive Technologies
Reports To: Immersive Technologies Lead
Experience: 4–6 Years
To design, develop, and optimize interactive surgical training modules for a physics-based robotic surgical training simulator built using Unreal Engine and C++.
The role will focus on C++-based training logic, interactive procedural workflows, soft-body and deformable tissue interactions, custom HLSL shaders, physics systems, and real-time simulation capabilities.
The position will work closely with Technical Artists, 3D Artists, Simulation Engineers, and Clinical SMEs to create a high-fidelity PC-based surgical training platform integrated with a robotic surgeon console.
This is a physics- and shader-intensive simulation role requiring strong hands-on Unreal Engine C++ programming experience, focused on interactive training and realistic simulation rather than visual-only walkthroughs or Blueprint-only development.

Qualifications and Experience:

- Diploma / Bachelor's degree / equivalent qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Game Development, Computer Graphics, Animation Technology, or a related field.
- 4–6 years of professional experience in Unreal Engine development using C++.
- Proven experience delivering production or commercially used interactive 3D applications.
- Strong professional experience with Unreal Engine and C++ programming.
- Demonstrated experience with physics-based interactions and preferably deformable/soft-body simulation.
- Strong experience with HLSL/custom shader development and Unreal Material systems.
- Experience with Unreal physics systems, rigid bodies, constraints, collision components, triggers, and interaction systems.




- Experience with modular Unreal Engine architecture using Actors, Actor Components, interfaces, delegates, events, and equivalent design patterns.
- Experience with Git / Git LFS.
- Experience developing Windows standalone Unreal Engine applications.
- Experience working within multidisciplinary game, simulation, XR, robotics, or real-time 3D teams is preferred.
- Experience in surgical simulation, medical visualization, robotics, serious games, or training simulators will be an added advantage.

Strong hands-on Unreal Engine C++ development experience is essential. Candidates with only Blueprint experience or experience limited to Unity/C# without professional Unreal C++ development experience will not be suitable.
