Bohemia Interactive Simulations is looking for Designers

[bn880 5]

Job Title: Software Designer - Prague

Position Description:

Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim) is looking for a full-time software Designer to join the team in Prague to work on the Virtual Battlespace (VBS) flagship product. A Designer uses the mission editor, BISim’s VBS scripting, configuration files and other resources to plan, add, or modify features and content to VBS. It should be noted that--although occasional scenario development in the mission editor is required--the majority of the Designer's job will involve working with "code" (scripting and configuration files). In other words, a Designer's job includes much more in scripting and project analysis than it includes in mission editor usage.

Key Areas of Responsibility:

• Focus on the end-user-experience, while working towards paid customer deliverables.
  
• Create and review project analyses and plans based on customer requirements.
  
• Develop scripted components using VBS/ArmA scripting language.
  
• Develop graphical user interfaces (dialogs).
  
• Repair and maintain existing scripted systems.
  
• Liaise with artists, programmers, content creators, QA, and sound engineers to effect necessary changes or fixes outside of Designer’s role or qualification.
  
• Document all work from beginning to end, including analyses, in-line code comments, and final implementation.
  
• Occasionally represent BISim to customers at events such as Government Acceptance Tests, military training sessions, or industry trade shows (typically as part of a team).

• Capable of working within an Agile and Modified Waterfall development team/methodology.
  

Education & Experience:
