Job description

Ever wanted your work to matter beyond entertainment? We're building high-fidelity training simulators for heavy equipment — excavators, cranes, port machinery — and we need Unity programmers eager to push the engine into serious simulation territory.

💼What You'll Own?

• Collaborate with the development team to design, implement, and maintain core simulation systems — from vehicle dynamics to environmental interactions

• Take ownership of one or more systems (e.g., equipment controls, scoring/metrics, scenario management), ensuring functionality, performance, and scalability meet training requirements

• Develop and integrate simulation mechanics, UI/UX elements, and instructor tools within Unity

• Work alongside physics engineers, 3D artists, and training designers to ensure seamless integration of assets, behaviors, and hardware interfaces

• Debug and optimize code for smooth performance across multi-display setups, VR deployments, and varying hardware configurations

• Integrate external SDKs and hardware APIs (control interfaces, motion platforms, tracking systems)

• Stay current with Unity development trends and simulation best practices, incorporating improvements into project workflows

• Contribute to technical documentation and provide mentorship to junior team members as the team grows

🚀What You'll Bring to the Table?

• Must-Have

  • 3+ years shipping Unity projects (games, simulations, or interactive applications)

  • Strong C# fundamentals — you've written systems, not just scripts

  • Experience with Unity's physics system (and its limitations)

  • Comfort with version control and collaborative development

  Bonus Points

  • C++ experience (even hobbyist level)

  • VR development (any platform)

  • Interest in engineering, heavy equipment, or "how things work"

  • Shader/graphics programming

  • Experience integrating external SDKs or hardware

📍 Location

Hybrid role based in Montreal, Quebec. Remote candidates across North America considered for exceptional fits.
