The Boeing Company is hiring 2 Gameplay Developers for its Commercial Pilot Training division in Australia. You will build high-fidelity interactive training applications for commercial pilots, applying deep expertise in Unreal Engine 5 and modern software-engineering practices. In this role, you will serve as the technical bridge between designers, artists, and simulation engineers to deliver realistic, performant experiences.
What You'll Do
- Rapidly prototype interactive features (e.g., instrument panel controls, flight-dynamics logic) in C++/Blueprints and evaluate emerging tools for aerospace use.
- Translate aerospace requirements into robust gameplay systems and ensure seamless integration with the simulation pipeline.
- Build and maintain in-engine editor extensions, custom configuration panels, and debugging utilities for desktop and VR/AR platforms.
- Design modular, testable gameplay frameworks (input handling, state machines, AI, networking, physics) that scale with large environments and frequent updates.
- Identify bottlenecks in performance and implement custom scripts or plugins to improve iteration speed and runtime efficiency.
- Define coding standards, develop automated tests, integrate CI/CD pipelines, and conduct profiling/optimization to meet real-time constraints on mobile, PC, and head-mounted displays.
What We're Looking For
- 4 - 7+ years of professional experience as a gameplay or software engineer in a production environment.
- A proven track record delivering high-fidelity interactive content for games, aerospace, defence, or scientific-visualization projects.
- Expert proficiency in Unreal Engine 5 (C++, Blueprints, Gameplay Framework, Profiling tools).
- Proven experience building complex gameplay systems: input, UI, physics, AI, and multiplayer/networked components.
- Demonstrated ability to optimize performance for desktop and VR/AR platforms, including memory management and multithreading.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills, comfortable working in Agile squads, with the ability to create technical documentation.
Nice to Have
- Direct experience with flight-simulation or pilot-training systems, including knowledge of avionics or sensor modelling.
- Hands-on work with VR/AR hardware and optimization techniques.
- A proven track record of shipping at least one commercial game.
- Familiarity with iOS development pipelines and performance constraints on mobile devices.
- Background in regulated, safety-critical environments (aerospace, automotive, medical).
- Strong ability to influence cross-functional teams and mentor junior engineers.
- A Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, game development, or a related field.
