AR​/VR application developer; Unity Engine + AOSP + Firmware

Job Title

Develop, debug, and document code using C/C++, bash, shell, C#, Unity, Unreal Engine and/or Python

Support H&S UXR studies by developing testbeds and tools for diverse and innovative hardware prototypes. Anticipated needs include:

• Implementing embedded device firmware to communicate with sensors, display, dimming technologies, and other embedded hardware components and systems
• Hardware and software system integration across sensors, displays, computer-based stimuli, dynamic obstacle courses, and more
• Utilizing/Using API frameworks for appropriate logging, transmitting, and visualization of multi-dimensional data from sensors and tracking systems
• Develop event-triggered algorithms to generate dynamic and/or randomized stimuli (e.g., display content)

Partnering with XFN to understand capabilities and constraints of integrated hardware systems and firmware (including, but not limited to, displays, eye-tracking, cameras, depth sensors, IMU sensors, wearables)

Collaborating with H&S UXR team members to create flexible, reusable software user interfaces ( "virtual labs") that support adjustment of experimental parameters by study RAs and inclusion of new parameters in the future

Working with H&S UXR research scientists and/or vendors to provide rapid response and troubleshooting on-site during user research studies

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 3 years' experience with C/C++, bash, shell, C#, Unity, Android Studio and/or Python
• Experience integrating custom systems including sensors, API/SDK frameworks, and firmware
• Excellent communication skills for understanding and translating technical information to engineers, UXRs, designers, executives
• Track record of operating independently, demonstrating creativity, being detail-oriented, solving ambiguous problems, and delivering results in a highly-organized manner
• Willingness to occasionally travel to study sites

• Experience facilitating implementation of closed-loop experimental paradigms, highly-controlled presentations of visual content to external displays of varying types, and collection of system-user telemetry
• Experience working with electrical engineers, firmware developers, software engineers, and hardware prototypers
• Experience developing AR/VR applications
• Experience with Android Studio and/or Unity
• Experience with Python
