Job Description, Responsibilities & Requirements
About the Position
Join Room 8 Group as a Senior Level Designer to create immersive XR vehicle driving simulators on Unreal Engine 5.
Responsibilities
- Own the layout of large-scale terrain and the training zones within it, from open, high-traction expanses to soft sand, rocky obstacle fields, dense foliage, urban streets, and coastline.
- Design the spaces, routes, and surface behavior that make each driving exercise meaningful and repeatable.
- Translate driving and training objectives into well-structured, performant, navigable spaces, balancing fidelity and immersion against a strict frame-rate budget.
- Collaborate across disciplines to deliver a turnkey product under a defined timeline.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in Level Design, with a strong focus on open-world or large-scale environments for PC titles.
- Solid command of Unreal Engine 5, including World Partition, level streaming, and the landscape and terrain tools.
- Proven experience with open-world terrain layout and partitioning large spaces into distinct, purpose-built zones.
- Experience designing varied environment types and biomes, such as open high-traction surfaces, soft sand, rocky/obstacle terrain, foliage-heavy areas, urban streets, and coastline.
- Strong route and mission-flow design, structuring how users move through and progress across a space.
- Experience setting up terrain surface systems, assigning physics materials per zone so handling differs by surface.
- A working grasp of driving-space metrics (lane thresholds, incline grades, and confined-area manoeuvring) and how layout affects vehicle behaviour.
- Experience placing navigation and waypoint markers for in-world guidance and routing.
- Experience laying out AI spline paths and traffic routes.
- Experience designing spawn points and randomised placement for replayable scenarios.
- Experience building functional, believable environments such as facility compounds, settlements, and controlled access points.
- Strong VR/performance awareness, covering HLOD, LOD budgets, and draw-distance management to hold a stable frame rate.
- Experience with lighting setup, including baked static lighting, dynamic vehicle shadows, and day/night presets.
- Experience placing collision and reset/boundary walls to keep users within playable space.
We Offer
- Opportunity to work on a high-fidelity XR vehicle driving simulator on Unreal Engine 5.
- Collaborate with a team of around 1,100 creatives based in Europe, North America, and South America.
- Full-time position with hybrid work options.
