Overview
Unity is hiring a Principal Applied Scientist to lead initiatives in advancing multimodal LLMs and spatial reasoning for real-time 3D development. You'll work with cutting-edge AI technologies to enhance game authoring and interactive experiences. This role requires expertise in AI and spatial modeling.
Job Description
Who you are
You have a strong background in AI research and development, particularly in multimodal large language models (LLMs) and spatial reasoning. With a passion for advancing intelligent systems, you are excited to explore new frontiers in AI-assisted content creation and have experience in building world models that enhance interactive experiences. Your expertise in understanding complex environments and scene layouts allows you to drive initiatives that improve AI's spatial reasoning capabilities.
You are a collaborative team player who enjoys working with engineering and product teams to prototype innovative AI-assisted workflows. Your ability to integrate text, vision, and spatial signals into multimodal architectures is a key asset, and you thrive in environments where you can influence the development of agentic systems within a leading game engine. You are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in real-time 3D development.
What you'll do
In this role, you will lead initiatives aimed at improving spatial reasoning in large models, focusing on understanding scene layouts, object relationships, navigation, and 3D dynamics. You will develop and refine world modeling approaches that enable AI systems to build, maintain, and reason over structured representations of complex game environments. Your work will directly influence how agentic systems are built inside the Unity engine, enhancing the tools available for developers.
You will advance multimodal LLM architectures that integrate various signals to support agentic game authoring and interactive creation tools. Prototyping new AI-assisted workflows, such as natural-language scene editing and spatial instruction following, will be a significant part of your responsibilities. You will collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to ensure that your research translates into practical applications that enhance user experiences.
What we offer
Unity offers a competitive salary range of $188,000—$358,000 USD, reflecting the importance of this role in shaping the future of real-time 3D development. You will be part of a dynamic team that is at the forefront of AI innovation, working in a collaborative environment that encourages creativity and exploration. We believe in empowering our employees to push the boundaries of technology and make a meaningful impact in the gaming industry. Join us in our mission to enable creators to harness intelligent, autonomous systems and redefine the possibilities of interactive experiences.
