Software Engineer - Lutz, United States - Textron

Description

The Virtual Reality Engineer is a highly motivated and self-driven team player with the ability to perform in a cutting-edge prototyping environment.

The preferred candidate must have strong programming skills, be able to work independently and as part of a team, and have a passion for working on and creating high quality immersive virtual reality experiences.

The VR Engineer can design and develop software from requirements, lead root-cause analysis, communicate options for resolution and provide recommendations for software defects.

• Design, develop, integrate, test, and document virtual reality software for use in flight simulation training device
• Design and implement procedural asset creation techniques to efficiently generate and modify 3D models, textures, and environments for immersive virtual reality experiences
• Design and implement innovative solutions for optimizing performance and reducing latency of virtual reality software and hardware
• Participate in engineering design reviews, hardware/software integration, stakeholder demonstrations, and acceptance testing events
• Create and maintain documentation for virtual reality software and hardware solutions (e.g. Acceptance Test Procedures, Interface Control Documents, Technical Specifications, Work Flows)
• Provide engineering staff with recommendations for software and hardware enhancements
• Research and analyze data, such as customer design proposal, specifications, and manuals to determine feasibility of design or application
• Collaborate with a team of talented engineers to create immersive and engaging virtual reality experiences
• Stay up to date with the latest technology, tools, and techniques for virtual reality and beyond (e.g. Extended Reality (XR))
• Stay current with regulatory requirements for flight simulation training device visual systems
• Execute objective tests and analyze test results for the visual portion of the Qualification Test Guide
• Outside of virtual reality the candidate will design, develop, integrate, test, and document visual interfaces for 3rd party image generators used on flight simulation training devices
