About The Position

We're looking for a Unity Developer (Rendering & Graphics) to join our simulation team at Excel Driver Services. You'll be contributing to a commercial vehicle training simulation platform running on multi-display simulators. This role is focused on rendering quality and visual fidelity: building the shader workflows, render pipeline features, and environmental systems that make our simulators feel real. This is a hands-on, in-person role where you'll collaborate daily with a tight-knit dev team shipping training technology to real customers.

Requirements

• Unity (URP) - deep understanding of the render pipeline, not just surface-level ShaderGraph usage
• HLSL / ShaderLab - custom shader authoring beyond what ShaderGraph exposes
• URP Renderer Features - custom render passes, ScriptableRendererFeature, render targets
• Lighting - baked GI, real-time lighting tradeoffs, light probes, reflection probes in URP
• Performance profiling - GPU frame analysis, overdraw, draw call optimization, platform-specific constraints
• Unity Animation System (Mecanim) - state machine-driven animation using Animator Controllers, with blend trees for smooth parameter-driven transitions, Avatar rigging for humanoid characters
• Playables - API for code-driven, graph-based animation control with lower overhead
• C# for game programming
• Plastic - version control, branching, code reviews, collaborative workflows
• Ability to communicate technical tradeoffs clearly with the rest of the team

Nice To Haves

• Experience with multi-display or multi-camera rendering setups
• Background in simulation, architectural visualization, or industrial software
• Familiarity with Quest 3 / Android GPU tile-based rendering constraints
• Exposure to procedural environment systems (weather, dynamic lighting, road surface conditions)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and multi-platform build targets

Responsibilities

• Own the rendering and visual fidelity layer of the simulation platform
• Develop custom URP render features, shader workflows, and post-processing pipelines
• Build and maintain weather, lighting, and environmental systems that respond to scenario conditions
• Optimize rendering across wildly different targets 12-display simulators, Quest 3, desktop, and WebGL
• Collaborate with the physics and architecture team to integrate visual systems cleanly into the application
• Participate in team meetings, sprint planning, and code reviews
• Contribute to documentation and help establish visual quality standards for the platform
