Job description

If you love game programming and have a passion for education, UAT is the place for you!
Who We Are:
University of Advancing Technology (UAT) is an elite intimate private college in Tempe, AZ focused on educating students in advancing technology who desire to innovate in the areas of emerging technology disciplines including Advancing Computer Science, Information Security, Game and New Media technologies.
Living on campus, students are surrounded by a true living-learning technology environment that incubates their ideas into innovations that students can patent and take to market. Students must create an innovation project to graduate.
We are an entrepreneurial, results-oriented company recognized for delivering high standards of innovation and service. As an organization designed to change the lives of some of the brightest young minds, we rely on the excellence of every member of our family to continuously exceed our own standards and our students' expectations.
Who You Are:
Have you ever wanted to teach others about game programming? We are searching for an addition to our astounding team of faculty. You must be an expert in various programming languages and development techniques associated with game applications. An exemplary UAT instructor can relate their knowledge and experience in using both object oriented and scripting languages, while guiding our students through industry standard game engines such as Unreal and Unity.
The instructor should be a wizard of many wands and be a master in PC, iOS, console and Android platforms. The instructor needs to be able to present on the theoretical aspects of game programming that include topics such as: game AI, collisions, input device integration, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, object transformations, database integration and optimization. The individual that joins the UAT family must be able to relate to our technophile, high performing, all-things-geek students, best practices associated with application development processes, such as agile models, along with documentation. We need a game-changing (pun intended) professor that will inspire our students and arm them with the skills they'll need to stay ahead of the game design industry.
Don't have teaching experience - that's where we come in. UAT's team of faculty and staff will work with you as you:

  • Optimize game performance for both high-end and low-end platforms, ensuring smooth frame rates and minimal loading times.
  • Design and implement efficient algorithms to solve complex in-game problems (e.g., pathfinding, AI decision-making).
  • Use game engines such as Unity, Unreal Engine, or proprietary engines to implement gameplay features and tools.
  • Conduct unit testing, debug code, and perform integration testing to ensure stability and quality.
  • Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies in the game industry, including VR/AR, AI, and cloud-based gaming solutions.

Preferred Skills & Qualifications:
Note: A combination of the following skills is preferred; not all are required.
  • Proficiency in C++, C#, or other programming languages commonly used in game development
  • Experience with game engines such as Unity, Unreal Engine, or Godot
  • Strong understanding of 3D mathematics (linear algebra, vector operations, matrix transformations)
  • Knowledge of game physics, collision detection, and optimization techniques
  • Familiarity with shader programming (GLSL/HLSL) and rendering pipelines
  • Understanding of AI programming for games (pathfinding, decision trees, finite state machines)
  • Experience with multiplayer game programming and networking (client-server architectures, data synchronization)
  • Comfortable with version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN) and agile development methodologies
