Working in a passionate and close-knit team that ensures your voice doesn’t get lost in the crowd, you will deliver ‘AAA’ racing games within a studio that will value and recognise your contributions.
Senior physics programmers are responsible for the full simulation of physical bodies within the game world, particularly high performance vehicles. This includes modelling of complex vehicle drive trains, tyre friction, aerodynamics, rigid body dynamics, collision detection, surface deformation and fracture etc. They work extremely closely with the vehicle handling team to produce accurate simulations of vehicle characteristics.
Highly Desirable Skills and Experience:
- Exceptional C++ knowledge
- Multiple completed game projects
- Extensive computer architecture knowledge
- Cross platform and console experience
- Expert use of debugging and profiling tools
- Pure and applied maths
- Rigid body dynamics, forward and inverse kinematics
- Collision detection
Desirable Skills and Experience:
- A degree in a relevant subject (particularly Maths or Physics)
- Scrum and agile processes
- Friction modelling
- Dynamics solvers (LCP, MCP, impulse based)
- Vehicle dynamics
In return we provide a state of the art working environment with access to cutting edge technology. You will be working with some of the industry's most experienced talent, in which self-development is actively supported and encouraged.
We are recruiting for a diverse team and continue to develop our culture and inclusion. We look forward to hearing how you can help us to be better.
