• Documented experience in the development of augmented reality or virtual reality applications;
• Strong programming skills in C# and Python;
• Good knowledge of the English language;
• Strong focus on stakeholder needs and expectations.

• Experience with AR/VR frameworks and platforms (e.g., Unity3D, Unreal Engine, ARCore, ARKit).
• Knowledge of 3D graphics, shaders, and rendering pipelines.
• Familiarity with ROS (Robot Operating System) and its integration with visualization tools.
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and collaborative development workflows.
• Capacity to work autonomously and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment.

• A yearly gross salary ranging between 27 and 30K Euros, which may include a bonus option depending on your role and contract
