This project is focused on the development of a next-generation first-person VR flight simulation experience built in Unreal Engine 5. Combining realistic simulation systems, immersive environments, and intuitive interactions, the project aims to deliver highly authentic aviation experiences that place users at the centre of complex real-world scenarios. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you'll help shape virtual environments, prototype interactions, and refine user experiences that balance realism, usability, and immersion. This is an opportunity to contribute to a sophisticated simulation project that pushes the boundaries of real-time technology and interactive design.

We're looking for a talented UI/UX Artist with experience creating intuitive, player-focused interfaces for games, helping shape the user experience of an immersive VR flight simulation project from concept through to implementation.

• Experience designing high-quality game interfaces, HUDs, menus, and supporting UI elements from concept through to implementation.
• Experience collaborating closely with designers, engineers, and artists to ensure UI designs are both visually compelling and technically achievable.
• Strong communication skills and an iterative mindset, comfortable gathering feedback and refining designs throughout development.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing UI/UX for VR experiences, with an understanding of immersion, spatial interfaces, player comfort, and interaction design.
• Experience on first-person experiences, simulation titles, or flight simulation projects.
• Familiarity with Unreal Engine 5 and implementing or supporting UI workflows using UMG.
