Unreal Developer C++

Job Title: Unreal Developer

Department: Immersive Technologies

Location: Vapi, Gujarat

Reports To: Immersive Technologies Lead

Experience: 4–6 Years

Job Purpose:

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.

• Strong understanding of Unreal Insights or equivalent profiling tools and CPU/GPU/memory optimization.

• 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.

Mandatory Requirement: 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.

Skills and Competencies:
