We believe that by prioritising equity and inclusivity, we fuel creative endeavours and craft gameplay experiences that reflect and respect our uniquely talented game-makers and outstanding players.

The Role

As a Senior Vehicle Handling Designer, you’ll excel in an environment that allows you to influence design and implementation of key vehicle systems. You're detail-orientated and can work iteratively to provide optimal solutions to various middleware mechanics and physics-related requests. You’ll see the bigger picture, promoting best practices, guidelines and standards alongside programmers, designers and producers to help balance the creative vision with constraints.

You’re looking for a creatively rewarding, exciting opportunity to work on new experiences, that provides stimulating challenges that have yet to be explored in the gaming industry.

You will collaborate and communicate with finesse and ease, conversing with a dynamic and diverse group of gifted designers and developers to ensure momentum and steer the projects through each stage of their processes. You are that trusted colleague, that your peers can count on when requiring a resolution.

As our next Senior Vehicle Handling Designer, you’ll be accountable for middleware craft, documentation and design briefs in aid of technical improvements, project support, including suggestive actions on specific behaviours, and liaising with wider organisation teams. Therefore, effective communication, composure and problem-solving skills are imperative.

What you’ll bring

• Client-facing experience, working towards a brief to provide design concepts.
• Understanding of vehicle physics.
• Knowledge of vehicles, including but not limited to real-world, gaming, simulation, eRacing.
• Experience of working on a gaming title(s) with vehicle physics (nice to have).

Joining Ubisoft, you’ll be part of some of the next biggest titles in AAA gaming. You’ll build upon your ongoing success and place your own stamp by applying your passion for design and helping shape our games, people and our collective future. The creative freedom that we offer will be pivotal to your continuous development in the business.

What we'll provide

We put our people first through nurturing their creativity and well being and the reason we continue to create engaging and compelling AAA titles that are loved across the world. We also value the art of collaboration and a sense of belonging which is why we've embraced a hybrid working model that requires our team members to be on-site for an average of 2 days per week, fostering a vibrant and creative work environment that unites us in pursuing our shared goals.

• Generous resources committed to your perpetual personal and professional development 
• Investment in our community - with paid volunteering days

Positive mental health and wellbeing at work are priorities for us. We are a Gold Employer in the Mind Workplace Wellbeing Index, and partners of Safe in Our World.
