Game developer (Unity) for drone delivery startup (offline)

We are creating a food delivery app that uses autonomous drones to deliver the food. Our drone is 10 times more energy efficient, and 25 times more quiet than any other delivery drone. It is also very versatile and can fly autonomously through complex environments. We achieve this by training our autopilot in a simulator. Your job is to build that simulator.

The first part of your job will be to develop a city environment with realistic graphics. Then you will add a realistic model of our drone, with physical flight behaviour that is close to the real flight behaviour.

Because our machine learning algorithm needs a lot of variety, the simulator needs to be able to generate an infinity of different city environments. A lot of this is already done, we have a random terrain generator, a random building generator and many other features. The dynamics of the "gameplay" need to have a lot of variety as well. In each virtual delivery, the drone weight, the wind, the weight of the package etc. have to be a bit different.
You will spend a lot of time creating these algorithms that are able to generate a big variety of situations.

Requirements
- The most important thing is that you are excited about this project, and like the mission of our company.

-You know how to develop Unity games, and you can show multiple projects you did in the past.

-You are proficient at C#

-You are good at software development in general. There will be some tasks that go beyond simple game development, like creating an efficient way for our autonomous flight software to fly around the game, and optimizing the computational speed.

About oneseconddelivery gmbh

We are creating a food delivery app that uses autonomous drones to deliver the food. When you order food with our app, the delivery is twice as fast, and 45 times cheaper, because there is no need to pay a human delivery guy. The company was founded in 2017 by a leading expert on drone legislation and a successful e-commerce entrepreneur. The EPFL’s Vice Presidency of Innovation has recognized the large potential of this project and has supported us with the XGrant Prize and other resources.
