Job Summary

UBISOFT is seeking anIntermediate R&D Engineerto prototype andvalidatenew technologiesthat improve game testing and quality control. This role focuses on building rapid prototypes and running experiments usingGenAI, VLMs (Vision-Language Models), and AI/MLto explore automation opportunitiesacross QC. You will work closely with the R&D Manager and cross-functional partners to translate ideas into measurable experiments, evaluate feasibility, and iterate toward proof-of-value prototypes.This roleprovidesan excellent opportunity to gain hands‑on experience in software development, automation, and quality control processes within the gaming industry.

Job Duties / Responsibilities

Core Responsibilities

Buildrapid prototypesusing GenAI/VLM/ML to address QC andtestingpain points.

Design and execute experiments: define hypotheses, datasets/inputs, evaluation criteria, baselines, and success metrics (accuracy, precision/recall, latency, cost, robustness).

Implement data pipelines for experiments: data collection, cleaning, labeling support, and dataset versioning (as needed for proofs-of-concept).

Explore and compare approaches and document trade-offs.

Integrate prototypes with existing internal tools/test systems at a lightweight level (APIs, CLIs, plugins) to enable user trials and feedback.

Analyze experiment results,identifyfailure modes, and iterate quickly based on findings and stakeholder input.

Maintain reproducible research practices: experiment tracking, configuration management, and clear documentation of assumptions and limitations.

Collaborate in agile workflows: estimate assigned tasks, provide status updates, and incorporate feedback iteratively.

Gain hands on experience with software development and automation tools.

Develop a deeper understanding of software testing lifecycles.

Enhance coding and debugging skills in a collaborative environment.

Learn about CI/CD pipelines and version control systems.

Core Competencies

Eager to Learn: Highly motivated and quick to grasp new concepts.

Experimental Mindset:Comfortable with ambiguity; able to form hypotheses and learn quickly through iteration.

Pragmatic Engineering:Delivers prototypes that are usable and measurable, without over-engineering.

Analytical Thinking:Interprets results critically; understands bias, variance, and common evaluation pitfalls.

Collaboration:Works well with technical and non-technical stakeholders; communicates trade-offs clearly.

Adaptability:Keeps pace with rapidly evolvingAI/MLtooling and bestpractices.

Curiosity: Passion for exploringnew technologiesand their applications.

Teamwork: Ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams.

Adaptability: Willingness to take on new challenges and adapt to changing priorities.
