Job description

Job Title: Unreal Engine C++ Developer

Location: St. Louis, MO (Hybrid 2-3 days onsite)

Duration: 6 Months+ Contract

Overview

We are supporting a flight simulation and pilot training initiative focused on high-fidelity mission visualization and real-time simulation environments.
This role is for a software engineer specializing in Unreal Engine (C++), not a designer or artist. The developer will be responsible for implementing core simulation logic, system integrations, and real-time application functionality to support training, sensor visualization, and mission scenarios.
 
Key Responsibilities
Unreal Engine Development (C++ Focus)
  • Develop and implement application logic using Unreal Engine with C++ (not Blueprint-only)
  • Load and manage DLC/plugins containing large 3D asset libraries (aircraft, naval systems, civilian models, etc.)
  • Optimize and manage rendering of large-scale environments and dynamic assets
  • Implement level-of-detail logic (e.g., converting MASS entities to full actors based on range/visibility)
Simulation & Systems Integration
  • Implement and integrate simulation protocols including:
    • DIS (Distributed Interactive Simulation)
    • CIGI (Common Image Generator Interface)
    • OMS (Open Mission Systems)
  • Use protocol inputs to drive:
    • Actor positioning
    • Animation triggers
    • Real-time simulation behavior
  • Support proof-of-concepts and production implementations for simulation interoperability
User Interface & Data Visualization
  • Develop UI components to support:
    • Sensor data visualization
    • Lat/Lon grid overlays on 3D globe environments
    • User selections and highlighting
  • Implement multiple camera modes (e.g., cinematic, tracking, cockpit perspectives)
  • Build integrations to:
    • Export simulation data to external data science platforms
    • Consume input from external remote control/configuration systems
Networking & Multiplayer Systems
  • Implement Unreal Engine networking features:
    • Multiplayer replication
    • State synchronization across multiple simulation instances
  • Support real-time, synchronized simulation environments (e.g., multi-cockpit scenarios)
Simulation Features & Enhancements
  • Contribute to development of advanced simulation capabilities including:
    • Photogrammetry-based environments and 3D terrain (Cesium)
    • Building and infrastructure data integration
    • IR (infrared) sensor simulation and dynamic material responses
    • SAR (synthetic aperture radar) simulation
    • Weather systems and synchronized multi-environment conditions
    • Time-of-day and control integrations (e.g., HOTAS via CIGI)
  • Enhance realism and fidelity (lighting, shadows, materials, environmental effects)
Required Qualifications
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience with Unreal Engine development using C++
  • Strong proficiency in C++ programming
  • Experience building interactive, real-time 3D applications
  • Understanding of:
    • Game engine architecture
    • Actor systems and scene management
    • Performance optimization in real-time environments
  • Ability to work as a software engineer (not a 3D artist or designer)
Preferred / Differentiating Experience
  • Experience with simulation standards:
    • DIS, CIGI, OMS (or similar)
  • Background in:
    • Aerospace, defense, or simulation environments
    • Real-time data integration or visualization
  • Familiarity with:
    • Unreal networking and multiplayer systems
    • Sensor simulation or physics-based modeling
    • Large-scale geospatial environments (Cesium, GIS, etc.)
What We Are NOT Looking For
  • Blueprint-only Unreal developers without strong C++ experience
  • Virtual production / film / green-screen backgrounds
  • 3D artists, character modelers, or purely visual designers
Success Profile
The ideal candidate is a true software engineer who:
  • Writes production-grade C++ in Unreal
  • Understands real-time systems and simulation
  • Can integrate external data and protocols into a live environment
  • Is comfortable working in a complex, engineering-driven simulation ecosystem
