Description:
- Conceptualise, design and prototype game concepts, mechanics, leader board, inventory systems, systems and technical requirements for Extended Reality (XR) solutions using C#, Python, HTML or JavaScript.
- Generate and contribute towards science engineering and technology (SET) activity targets and outputs (reports, guidelines, system requirements, peer-reviewed publications, technology, and software packages, etc.).
- Create and maintain the games codebase, ensure code quality, performance, and modularity.
- Optimise game performance, including graphics rendering, memory management, and network synchronisation.
- Conduct thorough testing and debugging of the game, identify and resolve defects and gameplay issues.
- Implement game functionality, including player controls, artificial intelligence, physics and audio.
- Understand and interpret client requirements to contribute to user requirement analysis and/or well-articulated project proposals.
- Keep up to date on emerging trends in XR Technology in relation to new approaches, tools, methods, or frameworks.
- Participate in internal task teams or committees in relevant domains.
- Participate and engage in relevant XR communities to grow networks and capabilities.
- Assist junior staff in the area(s) of expertise.
