Gameplay Developer (Brisbane)

Gameplay Developer Company: Boeing Australia Holdings Pty Ltd About the Role We are seeking 2 senior or mid‐level Gameplay Developers to build high‐fidelity interactive training applications for commercial pilot training. The role requires deep expertise in Unreal Engine 5 and modern software‐engineering practices to design, implement, and iterate gameplay systems that deliver realistic, performant experiences for engineers, pilots, and analysts. You will act as the technical bridge between designers, artists, and simulation engineers, providing tools and workflows that enable rapid iteration in a highly regulated, safety‐critical environment. Responsibilities Prototype & R&D;: Rapid prototype interactive features such as instrument panel controls, flight‐dynamics logic, and fluid‐simulation effects using C++/Blueprints; evaluate emerging Unreal Engine tools and third‐party libraries for aerospace use. Gameplay‐Engineering Liaison: Translate aerospace requirements into robust gameplay systems and ensure seamless integration with the simulation pipeline. Tool Support & Training: Build and maintain in‐engine editor extensions, custom data‐driven configuration panels, and debugging utilities; provide technical assistance to designers and engineers across desktop and VR/AR platforms. Systems Architecture: Design modular, testable gameplay frameworks (input handling, state machines, AI, networking, physics) that scale with large‐scale environments and frequent content updates. Workflow Optimization: Identify bottlenecks in code execution, asset streaming, and simulation loops; implement custom scripts, plugins, or off‐the‐shelf solutions to improve iteration speed and runtime efficiency. Performance & Quality Assurance: Define and enforce coding standards, develop automated unit/functional tests, integrate CI/CD pipelines for builds and content, and conduct profiling/optimization (CPU/GPU, memory, LOD, streaming) to meet real‐time constraints on mobile devices, high‐end PCs, and head‐mounted displays. Basic Qualifications 4‐7+ years of professional experience as a gameplay/software engineer (or technical artist with a strong programming focus) in a production workplace. Proven track record delivering high‐fidelity interactive content for games, aerospace, defence, or scientific‐visualization projects. Expert proficiency in Unreal Engine 5, including C++, Blueprints, the Gameplay Framework, and profiling tools. Demonstrated ability to build complex gameplay systems (input, UI, physics, AI, multiplayer/networked components) for simulation or game projects. Strong performance optimisation skills for desktop and VR/AR platforms (memory management, LOD, texture streaming, multithreading). Excellent communication and collaboration skills; service‐oriented mindset for supporting cross‐disciplinary teams and comfortable working in Agile squads. Ability to create runbooks and technical documentation. Preferred Qualifications Experience with flight‐simulation or pilot‐training systems, including knowledge of avionics, sensor modelling, or general aerospace knowledge. Hands‐on work with VR/AR hardware and optimisation techniques. At least one commercial game shipped, demonstrating end‐to‐end development and successful launch. Familiarity with VR/AR or iOS development pipelines and performance constraints on mobile devices. Background in regulated, safety‐critical environments (aerospace, automotive, medical). Strong ability to influence cross‐functional teams, drive operational outcomes, mentor junior engineers, and make decisions under pressure. Business acumen to align operational decisions with product/service objectives and comfortable with Agile development practices. Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, game development, or a related field. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive, respectful, and welcoming workplace for all employees and encourage people of all backgrounds, ages, genders, disabilities, veterans, and Indigenous peoples to apply. #J-*****-Ljbffr Apply on Kit Job: kitjobau.com/job/3rfqzr
