About the Project
We are building a next-generation
3D web engine
to support the design and customization of
orthopaedic devices
, transitioning from a Unity-based desktop application to a collaborative, browser-based platform.
The goal is to enable real-time 3D visualisation, customisation, and streamlined data workflows for clinical users.
Key Responsibilities
Lead architectural decisions and R&D phases of a browser-native 3D platform built on top of Unity WebGL
Define and implement the web technology stack, including Unity WebGL, WebAssembly modules, and JavaScript interoperability
Export existing Unity desktop functionality to WebGL, integrating C++ logic using
Emscripten
Develop a web interface that integrates with the Unity canvas (e.g., via
or a comparable frontend framework)
Collaborate with product teams to translate clinical requirements into performant 3D tools
Work with backend engineers on real-time collaboration features, including data streaming and session sync
Participate in agile team processes, including weekly stand-ups, sprint planning, and stakeholder reviews
