About XpertVRXpertVR develops immersive VR and XR training simulations for emergency response, public safety, industrial safety, and other high-risk environments.

We are expanding our technical team for a six-month R&D; project focused on creating more adaptive VR training simulations using real-time simulation systems and artificial intelligence.

The RoleWe are looking for a Unity VR / AI Developer to help integrate AI-driven communication and behaviour into our Unity-based simulation platform.

You will work closely with our Unity developers, technical artists, and emergency-response subject matter experts to develop AI systems that understand live simulation conditions and generate appropriate responses and actions.

What You’ll Work On

- Integrating AI and LLM-based systems into Unity applications
- Supplying live simulation-state information to AI systems
- Developing state-aware communication for virtual responders, dispatchers, patients, and bystanders
- Converting user instructions into bounded AI tasks that affect the simulation
- Building guardrails and validation systems for AI-generated responses
- Optimizing AI response time and runtime performance
- Integrating AI behaviour with NPC, animation, speech, and simulation systems
- Supporting VR integration and performance testing

The project specifically calls for AI communication to respond to live simulation state and for incident-command instructions to be interpreted into bounded operational tasks that modify the simulation. What We’re Looking For

- Strong Unity and C# development experience




- Experience developing VR/XR, games, simulations, or other real-time 3D applications
- Experience working with AI within games or training tools, conversational AI, NLP, machine learning, or related AI technologies
- Robust software architecture and debugging skills
- AI-driven NPCs or character systems
- OpenXR development,
- Understanding of APIs, asynchronous systems, and real-time applications
- Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary development team

Nice to have:

- Experience with locally hosted or offline AI models
- Speech-to-text or text-to-speech systems
- Meta Quest, or PICO development
- Experience optimizing AI applications for limited hardware resources

What Success Looks Like in 6 MonthsBy the end of the contract, you will have helped deliver:

- A working state-aware AI communication layer connected to live simulation conditions
- An AI task system capable of interpreting participant instructions and translating them into controlled simulation actions
- AI communication that meets the project’s defined accuracy, relevance, and latency testing requirements
- A fully integrated AI system operating within XpertVR’s multi-scenario simulation prototype

The project’s validation target is for AI communication to produce contextually relevant, role-appropriate responses in at least 90% of structured test cases, while incident-command instructions are correctly interpreted into the intended task in at least 85% of cases.

Employment RequirementsApplicants must

- Reside in Canada
- Be legally eligible to work in Canada for the full contract period
- Be available for full-time employment during the six-month project
