Job Summary
We are seeking a skilled AR Developer/Engineer to join our team and build immersive, customer-facing augmented reality experiences using Unity and Meta Quest 3 headsets. This role centers on taking engineering-grade 3D CAD models of our modules/floor plans and transforming them into polished, photorealistic AR walkthroughs — applying finishes, colors, materials, and surface treatments so customers can experience true-to-life visualizations of spaces and products before they're built. You'll bridge the gap between raw CAD geometry and a compelling, real-time customer experience.
Job Duties and Responsibilities
- Import, clean, and optimize 3D CAD models (SolidWorks, STEP, IGES, etc.) for real-time rendering in Unity
- Apply materials, textures, finishes, colors, and lighting to convert raw CAD geometry into photorealistic, customer-ready visual assets
- Build and maintain immersive AR walkthroughs of floor plans and modules for Meta Quest 3, ensuring accurate scale, spatial mapping, and room/module placement
- Optimize 3D assets and scenes for real-time performance on standalone VR/AR hardware (polygon reduction, texture compression, LOD management, draw call optimization)
- Develop and maintain reusable Unity pipelines/tools to streamline CAD-to-AR asset conversion for new models and floor plan configurations
- Implement interactive features (walkthrough navigation, finish/color swapping, module configuration options, measurement tools) to support customer-facing sales and design experiences
- Collaborate with design engineers to ensure AR representations accurately reflect real CAD dimensions and specifications
- Test and debug AR applications across Meta Quest 3 hardware, addressing tracking, performance, and usability issues
- Stay current with Unity, Meta Quest SDK/OpenXR, and AR/VR industry developments to continually improve the toolset and experience
