Senior Technician - Digital Modelling & Visualisation

The NTDC at Coventry University was launched in 2017 and is all about changing the way the world moves! At the NTDC we have world-class physical and digital modelling facilities, academics and designers in the fields of Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM), accessible transport, eMobility, and Urban Air Mobility (UAM).

We have a team of psychologists, human factors experts, industrial and automotive designers alongside engineers and experts in human systems integration. See out LinkedIn pages at https://www.linkedin.com/company/ntdc/ .

In order for people to better understand how they will interact with and use transport of the future, first they need to visualise it. This is where this current roles supports our research, by translating our designs and creating assets into world-class visuals, using VR, AR and MR.

Examples of our current research projects, and how you can support us, are:
• Using VR and the HTC Vive to better understand wayfinding and navigation within a Vertiport (aka an urban airport for drones and flying cars)
• Visualising designs concepts for low speed, urban vehicles and creating an immersive experience within our purpose built Mixed Reality Buck
• Creating interfaces for self-driving cars within our Driver-in-the-Loop simulator
• Using Augmented Reality to bring future transport systems to life

In return, we will provide a great range of benefits that include an attractive pension scheme, generous holiday allocation, flexible working schemes, excellent learning and development opportunities, and some fantastic savings on a wide range of products and services.
If you have a passion for bringing designs to life through XR and emerging technologies, then come and apply those skills within our design studio at the National Transport Design Centre.
