Frontend Systems Engineer-Unity - 12 Months Contract - Part-Time

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of interactive 3D visualization interfaces using Unity 3D, including real-time digital twin dashboards and OT operational views.
• Architect and implement geospatial rendering systems - integrating map layers, coordinate systems and spatial data into Unity-based frontends.
• Design and deliver seamless integration between Unity frontend components and backend systems, middleware, IoT/OT data pipelines, and REST/WebSocket APIs.
• Collaborate with IoT, OT, and robotics engineering teams to translate telemetry, sensor, and asset data into real-time 3D visualisation.
• Drive technical decisions around rendering performance, level-of-detail (LOD) strategies, shader optimisation, and scene management for large-scale operational environments.
• Build and maintain reusable UI component libraries within Unity, aligned to UX guidelines and design system standards.
• Define and enforce frontend engineering standards, coding conventions, and review practices
• Engage with product owners, systems architects, and client stakeholders to ensure frontend solutions meet functional and non-functional requirements.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline integration for build artefacts, automated testing, and deployment workflows.

Experience & Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years focused on Unity 3D development in a production environment.
• Demonstrated delivery of Digital Twin or 3D visualisation solutions for operational, industrial, or smart city domains.
• Understanding of IOT integrations such as OPC-UA, Modbus, MQTT, - Middleware integration and BMS integration
• Understanding of Command and Control (C3) systems.
• Hands-on experience integrating real-time IoT/OT sensor data into interactive 3D or geospatial frontends.
• Track record as a subject matter expert - driving architecture decisions, conducting code reviews, and managing delivery risk.
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles; able to design frontend components with awareness of full-stack integration constraints.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Geospatial Science, or equivalent discipline.
• - Comfort using AI to accelerate coding, testing, validation is a must.
