Unity XR/VR Developer

Position: Unity XR/VR Developer (Contract / Short-Term Assignment)

Location: Chennai (Client Site - Onsite) 

Duration: 3–6 Months (Tentative) 

Role Overview: 

We are looking for experienced Unity Developers with XR/VR development expertise to support the development of an Industrial Training & Simulation application for a global industrial equipment manufacturer. The application will be deployed primarily on Meta Quest 3 and will simulate pump, piping, equipment operations, maintenance procedures, HMI interactions, alarms, and interlock logic in a VR environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop VR-based training and simulation applications using Unity.
• Build interactive industrial workflows, equipment simulations, and maintenance scenarios. 
• Integrate CAD models (STEP, Autodesk Inventor or similar formats) into Unity environments.
• Implement real-time or rule-based process/flow simulations. 
• Develop HMI/PLC-inspired user interfaces and operational interactions.
• Optimize applications to achieve stable performance on Meta Quest 3 (72 FPS target).
• Collaborate with client stakeholders onsite in Chennai. 
• Participate in design, development, testing, deployment, and performance optimization activities. 
• Work within secure development environments and source control systems.

Required Skills (Must Have):

• 3+ years of hands-on Unity development experience.
• Experience developing VR/XR applications using Unity. 
• Strong understanding of C# programming. 
• Experience with Meta Quest platform (Quest 2/Quest 3 preferred).
• Experience optimizing Unity applications for performance and FPS stability.
• Familiarity with Git or other version control systems.
• Ability to work onsite at client location in Chennai.

Preferred Skills (Good to Have): 

• Experience with industrial training, simulation, digital twin, manufacturing, engineering, or maintenance applications. 
• Exposure to CAD model processing and optimization workflows. 
• Experience with AR/VR/MR technologies. 
• Understanding of HMI, PLC, SCADA, process automation, or industrial control systems.
• Experience with CloudXR or similar remote rendering/deployment solutions.
• Exposure to user analytics and activity tracking frameworks.

Target Profiles: 

• Unity XR Developer 
• Unity VR Developer 
• Unity AR/VR Engineer 
• XR Application Developer 
• Metaverse / Immersive Experience Developer 
• Digital Twin / Simulation Developer

Important Note: This is NOT a gaming development role. Preference should be given to candidates with experience in industrial simulation, training systems, engineering visualization, digital twins, manufacturing, or enterprise XR solutions.

Additional guidance:

Search beyond traditional Unity gaming companies. Look at talent from:

• Industrial simulation companies
• AR/VR startups
• Digital twin solution providers
• Manufacturing simulation firms
• Engineering visualization companies
• Companies working on Meta Quest, HoloLens, Varjo, HTC Vive ecosystems
