Principal Applied Scientist

At Unity, we’re shaping the future of real‑time 3D development by enabling creators to harness intelligent, autonomous systems. As we expand our next‑generation agentic AI—adaptive, goal‑driven, and capable of reasoning about complex environments—we’re investing in research that pushes how large models perceive and understand 3D worlds.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Drive initiatives to improve spatial reasoning in large models, including understanding scene layouts, object relationships, navigation, and 3D dynamics.
• Develop and refine world‑modeling approaches that allow AI systems to build, maintain, and reason over structured representations of complex game environments.
• Advance multimodal LLM architectures that integrate text, vision, and spatial signals to support agentic game authoring and interactive creation tools.
• Prototype new AI‑assisted workflows, such as natural‑language scene editing, spatial instruction following, or agent behavior specification.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to translate research innovations into production‑ready features and tools.
• Define evaluation strategies and benchmarks grounded in real game‑development scenarios to ensure models are robust, reliable, and performant.
• Contribute to the long‑term vision for Unity’s agentic AI ecosystem, balancing usability, scalability, and creator empowerment.
• Mentor scientists and engineers while fostering a collaborative, innovative, and inclusive technical culture.
