The next great challenge is coming:

As a Senior Game Designer, you will join our team in building a high-fidelity XR vehicle driving simulator delivered on Unreal Engine 5, combining custom vehicle physics, a motion platform, and head-mounted displays into a fully immersive training experience. In this role, you will own the design of the systems that make the simulation feel real and teach the right behaviours: vehicle handling across varied terrain, weather, and fault conditions; instructor-driven scenarios; and the scoring and after-action review that turn each session into measurable skill transfer.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced designer who understands the technical underpinnings of driving and simulation systems, thrives in immersive XR/VR development, and can collaborate across disciplines to deliver a turnkey product under a defined timeline. Acting as a bridge between Game Design and Engineering, you will translate real-world vehicle behaviour and learning objectives into technically sound, achievable systems, from physics tuning and motion-platform profiling to diegetic glass-panel interfaces and in-world AI.

Superpowers you have:

• 5+ years of experience in Game or Systems Design, with a strong focus on vehicle, driving, or simulation gameplay for PC titles.
• At least one shipped simulation, driving, or systems-driven title with ownership of vehicle behaviour, gameplay systems, or scripted mechanics.
• Proven experience designing for XR/VR, including immersive interaction design and an understanding of comfort, presence, and motion considerations.
• Hands-on vehicle physics and handling tuning, covering traction, weight transfer, suspension, and surface-specific behaviour across varied terrain.
• Strong systems design across interconnected domains such as vehicle, weather, terrain, and fault/failure states.
• Solid command of Unreal Engine 5, particularly Blueprints, with data-driven content workflows.
• Experience designing scoring, KPI, and after-action review (AAR) systems that turn telemetry into clear, actionable feedback.
• Training and scenario design experience, structuring progression from familiarisation through assessment.
• AI design for in-world traffic and group/escort vehicle behaviour.
• Experience designing instructor tooling and runtime fault-injection systems for controlled, repeatable scenarios.
• Diegetic UI / glass-panel (virtual dashboard) design that keeps the interface grounded in the simulated world.
• Familiarity with motion-platform and force-feedback profiling, tuning cues for believable, comfortable feedback.
• Strong technical documentation and specification-writing skills.
• Excellent cross-disciplinary communication, with the ability to clearly express design and technical goals.
• Proven ability to act as a bridge between Game Design and Engineering, translating creative intent into technically sound, achievable solutions.

You're a rockstar if you have:

• C++ and experience building custom systems or components in Unreal Engine 5.
• Background in driving, racing, or vehicle-simulation products.
• Experience with terramechanics or off-road dynamics (sinkage, traction loss, deformable terrain).
• Familiarity with motion-platform middleware and telemetry/washout tuning.
• Experience designing data-driven, telemetry-based assessment and replay systems.
• Comfort optimising immersive XR/VR experiences for stable, high-framerate performance.
• Proactive mindset with a strong eye for polish and technical detail.

Becoming part of Room 8 Group, you will:

• Design, prototype, implement, and refine vehicle, simulation, and gameplay systems within Unreal Engine 5 and the project's tools.
• Tune vehicle physics and handling for believable behaviour across terrain types, surfaces, weather, and fault conditions.
• Own the design of XR/VR interactions, ensuring immersion, comfort, and clarity for users in the headset.
• Design and tune motion-platform and force-feedback profiles so that physical cues match on-screen behaviour.
• Design diegetic, glass-panel interfaces and virtual dashboards that reconfigure across vehicle types.
• Design instructor tooling and runtime fault-injection systems for controlled, repeatable scenarios.
• Author training scenarios and progression, from familiarisation through assessment.
• Design AI for in-world traffic and group/escort vehicle behaviour.
• Design scoring, KPI, and after-action review systems that turn telemetry into clear, actionable feedback.
• Collaborate with Designers, Engineers, and Artists to implement systems, interactions, and content in-engine.
• Ensure systems are intuitive, responsive, performant, and well-balanced across vehicles and difficulty levels.
• Produce clear and thorough technical design documentation and specifications.
• Participate in playtests and feedback loops, iterating to raise clarity, fidelity, and polish.
• Act as a bridge between Game Design and Engineering, aligning creative intent with technical feasibility.

Join the team of inspiring game dev professionals, and get even more:

• Competitive financial reward (yes, we are fair enough);
• Challenges to raise your XPs score working on the projects of the top global game dev publishers;
• Private medical care, paid time off;
• A culture of diversity and inclusion to unite the most outstanding talents;
• Community of people who understand and share your passion for games.

Together we will bring games to the next level. Exactly with you.
