What you'll do
As a student worker, you will be part of a highly creative and experimental environment where ideas quickly turn into working prototypes.

Your work will include:
* Prototyping interactive concepts in Unreal Engine and/or Unity
* Exploring gameplay mechanics and interaction design for immersive experiences
* Creating visual proof-of-concepts, including VFX, shaders, lightning, and animation
* Collaborating closely with 3D artists, designers, and engineers
* Iterating quickly on ideas through experimentation and testing
* Setting up and testing prototypes in real environments (e.g. LED walls, projections, XR
setups)

You will have a high degree of creative freedom and be encouraged to explore your own ideas and approaches to problem-solving.

Your profile
You are a curious and creative student who enjoys building interactive and visually engaging experiences.

You likely have:
* Experience with Unreal Engine and/or Unity
* Programming skills in C++ and/or C#
* Experience with Blueprints or visual scripting

* The ability to work independently on smaller tasks and prototypes
Bonus if you have experience with:
* Shaders or real-time rendering techniques
* VFX workflows or visual polish in game engines
* Working with hardware, sensors, or physical installations

About the role
This role also includes hands-on work with physical setups, such as configuring hardware, calibrating sensors, and testing experiences in real-world environments.

The position is flexible and designed to fit alongside your studies. It can extend across summer/winter breaks and continue part-time during the semester depending on your availability.

Who we are - Advanced Content Creation team
You will be working in a close-knit, multi-disciplinary team of artists, programmers, and engineers creating immersive interactive experiences using the latest sensor and display technologies.

Our team develops both virtual and physical experiences for a wide range of environments, including large-scale LED and projection spaces as well as VR, AR, and MR.

Our work is often showcased in public installa3ons and used to promote some of Sony's most well-known IPs.

What you'll gain
* Hands-on experience working with real-world interactive installations
* Opportunity to experiment with creative prototypes based on your own ideas
* Experience collaborating in a professional, multidisciplinary team
* Exposure to cutting-edge display and sensor technologies
* A flexible setup that allows you to combine work with your studies
