Prebuilt Projects2Jobs roadmap
VR Engineer Roadmap
Build hiring proof for VR Engineer roles: immersive interaction, 3D performance, and spatial UX.
VR Engineer candidates and career switchers targeting AR / VR / XR roles.
Timeline
8 weeks
Level
Beginner to intermediate
Final outcome
A VR Engineer portfolio with shipped projects, public GitHub proof, resume bullets, and interview talking points.
Skills to prove
Unity
C#
3D math
XR SDKs
Performance profiling
Spatial UX
Portfolio projects
- XR experience with natural locomotion and interaction
- Hand or controller interaction system with haptics
- Performance-optimized scene hitting frame-rate targets
Prebuilt build path
Follow these phases in order. Each one ends with a portfolio artifact you can show in GitHub, on your resume, or in interviews.
Step 1
Weeks 1-2
Build a comfortable core interaction
Comfort and usability are the bar for XR work.
- Create an XR scene with grabbing, UI, and locomotion that avoid motion sickness.
- Test on-device and document comfort and usability findings.
Deliverable: An on-device demo with interaction notes.
Step 2
Weeks 3-6
Polish and optimize the experience
Prove you can hit XR performance budgets.
- Add a complete experience loop with audio, feedback, and onboarding.
- Profile to hit the frame-rate budget and document the optimizations.
Deliverable: A polished XR demo with performance evidence.
Step 3
Weeks 7-8
Package the proof for hiring
Turn the work into evidence recruiters and interviewers can verify quickly.
- Polish each repo README with screenshots, setup steps, architecture notes, and tradeoffs.
- Write resume bullets and interview talking points that map each project to VR Engineer job requirements.
Deliverable: Public GitHub proof, an updated resume, and interview-ready project stories.
