OPM are thrilled to be working with a well-established developer of high-end interactive and immersive Console and VR experiences.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

•          Developing game systems with a particular focus on the use of physics to achieve realistic interactive results

•          Applying a deep understanding of industry-standard physics APIs to meet the requirements of the game and suggest new approaches

•          Being involved at any stage of asset production from specification to platform-specific challenges

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

•          Expert in C++ – you’ve worked with C++ for an extensive, and contributed to shipped games on PC, console or mobile.

•          Strong 3D Maths – you have a broad knowledge of the theory and practical application of 3D maths in games.

•          Great Communicator – you can talk about your work. You’ll be as comfortable specifying a task with designers and collaborating on a shared codebase with engineers as you are taking feedback from directors and producers.

•          Practical – sometimes a rapid prototype is needed to quickly test an idea. Other times a mission-critical system needs detailed planning and consultation. You have an instinct for what level of engineering is needed, and you can work efficiently at any level.
