As a Serious Game Designer, you will champion creativity and innovation. Your role will involve shaping, guiding, and executing the comprehensive creative vision for software products across diverse topics such as commercial applications, healthcare training, and military simulations. You will lead the design team and collaborate with development teams—including Design, Art, Programming, QA, and Production—as well as external clients and subject matter experts (SMEs) to conceptualize, document, and implement essential gameplay concepts, systems, and content across various projects. Additionally, you will support proposal development and engage in direct design presentations when necessary.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned designer with a robust design sensibility and a deep understanding of gaming and gameplay mechanics. We seek someone who approaches design comprehensively and can transform complex learning objectives into engaging, interactive designs.

Why Consider ARA?

  • Receive competitive compensation and exceptional benefits, including generous retirement contributions, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, company-paid life and long-term disability insurance, and annual performance bonuses.

Responsibilities of the Serious Game Designer:

  • Develop, create, and maintain comprehensive game design documentation throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring alignment with design, artistic, and technical standards.
  • Collaborate closely with our diverse team to design and develop unique training experiences.
  • Create user-friendly UI/UX for Mobile, PC, VR, and AR projects.
  • Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in game design to enhance our offerings continually.

  • Work with clients to clarify their vision while ensuring projects align with company objectives and budget constraints.
  • Communicate product vision to the development team through active participation in meetings, reviews, and planning sessions.
  • Anticipate the implications of decisions made during the preproduction phase, ensuring the design vision is maintained throughout development.
  • Adapt designs and implement changes based on feedback from the development team, SMEs, and end users.
  • Assist in creating product proposals and presentations.
  • Inspire, motivate, and mentor team members in best practices, processes, and procedures while fostering a collaborative production environment.

Requirements for the Serious Game Designer:

  • US Citizenship is required.
  • Eligibility for a US security clearance is necessary due to interactions with the intelligence community and DoD programs; selected candidates will undergo a security investigation.
  • Bachelor's degree plus relevant experience in game development or a design-related field, with at least three shipped titles or products credited to the designer, or equivalent years of relevant work experience.
  • Proficiency in creating detailed and clear software documentation, pre-visualization, and technical writing.
  • Experience in iterating on game prototypes throughout the development lifecycle to refine gameplay mechanics and ensure alignment with customer requirements and learning objectives.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate design ideas and concepts effectively.
  • A passion for exploring how games and interactive technology can positively influence training and education.
  • Experience with Unreal Engine is essential.

Preferred Skills:

  • Demonstrated experience in creating intuitive user interfaces (UI) and engaging user experiences (UX) within Unreal.
  • Familiarity with Unreal blueprints, scripting, and Slate UI.
  • Understanding of interactive teaching and learning methodologies, including instructional design principles.
  • Experience with multiplayer and mobile game systems.
  • Skills in team mentoring and leadership.
  • Experience in writing product proposals.
  • Ability to multitask and quickly grasp new ideas, software, and technologies.
