R&D Engineer (GEN AI/ ML)

Job Summary

UBISOFT is seeking anIntermediate R&D Engineerto prototype andvalidatenew technologiesthat improve game testing and quality control. This role focuses on building rapid prototypes and running experiments usingGenAI, VLMs (Vision-Language Models), and AI/MLto explore automation opportunitiesacross QC. You will work closely with the R&D Manager and cross-functional partners to translate ideas into measurable experiments, evaluate feasibility, and iterate toward proof-of-value prototypes.This roleprovidesan excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience in software development, automation, and quality control processes within the gaming industry.

Job Duties / Responsibilities

Core Responsibilities

• Buildrapid prototypesusing GenAI/VLM/ML to address QC andtestingpain points.

• Design and execute experiments: define hypotheses, datasets/inputs, evaluation criteria, baselines, and success metrics (accuracy, precision/recall, latency, cost, robustness).

• Implement data pipelines for experiments: data collection, cleaning, labeling support, and dataset versioning (as needed for proofs-of-concept).

• Explore and compare approaches and document trade-offs.

• Integrate prototypes with existing internal tools/test systems at a lightweight level (APIs, CLIs, plugins) to enable user trials and feedback.

• Analyze experiment results,identifyfailure modes, and iterate quickly based on findings and stakeholder input.

• Maintain reproducible research practices: experiment tracking, configuration management, and clear documentation of assumptions and limitations.

• Collaborate in agile workflows: estimate assigned tasks, provide status updates, and incorporate feedback iteratively.

Learning Opportunities

• Gain hands-on experience with software development and automation tools.

• Develop a deeper understanding of software testing lifecycles.

• Enhance coding and debugging skills in a collaborative environment.

• Learn about CI/CD pipelines and version control systems.

Core Competencies

• Eager to Learn: Highly motivated and quick to grasp new concepts.

• Experimental Mindset:Comfortable with ambiguity able to form hypotheses and learn quickly through iteration.

• Pragmatic Engineering:Delivers prototypes that are usable and measurable, without over-engineering.

• Analytical Thinking:Interprets results critically understands bias, variance, and common evaluation pitfalls.

• Collaboration:Works well with technical and non-technical stakeholders communicates trade-offs clearly.

• Adaptability:Keeps pace with rapidly evolvingAI/MLtooling and bestpractices.

Behavioral Competencies

• Curiosity: Passion for exploringnew technologiesand their applications.

• Teamwork: Ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams.

• Adaptability: Willingness to take on new challenges and adapt to changing priorities.

Seniority:
Having at least 5-8years of coding experience in above languages,
B.E/BTech/MTech/MS Computer Science in computer science or equivalent.

Technical Competencies

• Hands on KnowledgeofPythonprogramming.

• Good understanding of AI/ML concepts.

• Familiarity with software development and testing processes.

• Exposure to CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, TeamCity) and version control systems (e.g., Git).

• Solid understanding of debugging and troubleshooting techniques.

• Good tohave understanding ofother languages such as C++ and C#.

• Nice to have experience working with game engine
