Unreal Engine Developer - Simulation & Graphics

Emirates Team New Zealand builds the technology that wins the America's Cup. Our simulation tools are central to how we design, test, and race our yachts — and we're looking for an Unreal Engine developer to help take them to the next level.

This role sits at the intersection of real-time graphics and high-performance simulation. You'll be building and maintaining the visual front ends for our internal racing simulation tools, as well as contributing to external commercial projects. The physics happen in our own software — your job is to make the environment look and behave convincingly, perform well, and give our sailors and engineers a genuinely useful tool.

What you'll be working on

• Developing and maintaining Unreal Engine applications used for yacht racing simulation
• Creating realistic marine environments — water surfaces, waves, spray, weather, and lighting
• Building landscapes and environmental assets that support both simulation fidelity and visual clarity
• Animating objects and crew figures to support scenario visualisation
• Working with textures, materials, and lighting to achieve high-quality real-time results
• Collaborating with our simulation engineers and naval architects to understand requirements and translate them into effective visual tools
• Contributing to external commercial simulation projects alongside internal work
