Citizenship Requirement: U.S. Citizenship

In this role, you will design and develop immersive, interactive 3D training applications that enhance learning through real-time simulation and experiential environments. You will collaborate closely with on-site Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and cross-functional teams to build high-quality, performance-optimized solutions across desktop, web, and immersive platforms (VR/AR/MR).

This is a hands-on development role requiring both technical expertise and creative problem-solving to transform instructional concepts into engaging, mission-focused training tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with SMEs and stakeholders to define requirements, learning objectives, and technical solutions for immersive training applications.
• Design and develop interactive 3D and VR/XR training experiences using modern game engines.
• Create and optimize 3D assets (modeling, texturing, rigging) for real-time performance across platforms, including VR/AR devices.
• Develop low-polygon assets and texture atlases suitable for WebGL and real-time simulation environments.
• Build and implement immersive interactions, user experiences, and spatial interfaces for VR/XR applications.
• Use Autodesk 3ds Max and/or Maya to create production-ready 3D assets.
• Integrate assets into Unity as FBX files and ensure proper scaling, lighting, and performance optimization.
• Develop scripts and application logic in Unity (C#) to support gameplay systems, simulation logic, and user interactions.
• Design and implement intuitive UI/UX systems, including VR/XR interaction patterns and Unity Canvas-based interfaces.
• Support testing, debugging, and performance optimization across multiple platforms, including VR headsets.
• Work closely with instructional designers, developers, and program stakeholders to ensure solutions align with training objectives.

Required Qualifications

• Experience developing 3D applications or games using real-time engines (Unity preferred).
• Demonstrated experience building or contributing to VR, AR, or XR applications.
• Proficiency in Autodesk 3ds Max and/or Maya for 3D asset creation.
• Strong experience with Unity 3D, including scripting (C#), asset integration, and scene development.
• Understanding of real-time rendering, performance optimization, and low-poly modeling techniques.
• Familiarity with VR/XR interaction design principles (hand tracking, controllers, spatial UI, etc.).
• Strong attention to detail and ability to translate requirements into functional, user-friendly 3D experiences.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with SMEs and multidisciplinary teams in an on-site environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing VR/XR training simulations for government, military, or enterprise environments.
• Familiarity with VR platforms (e.g., Meta Quest, HTC Vive, HoloLens, or similar).
• Experience deploying applications to WebGL or cross-platform environments.
• Background in simulation, serious games, or instructional technology.
• Experience designing immersive UX/UI systems for VR/AR environments.
• Knowledge of Agile or iterative development processes.
