In short: Innovation x Immersion x Emotion

For over 20 years, we have been behind 25 games for PC and consoles, including famous licenses, original games, and innovative creations.

Today, we work with over 300 collaborators on Microsoft Flight Simulator, the A Plague Tale franchise, and HoloForge, the studio's XR department.

Our goal as a studio is to create exceptional, memorable interactive experiences for our players.

Pursuing this goal is our source of daily inspiration and satisfaction. It pushes us to always do better, to progress, and to surpass ourselves: this is what guides us and gives meaning to everything we do here.

Why joining us for this position is a great opportunity?

HoloForge is Asobo Studio's B2B department, responsible for developing AR/VR/XR applications since 2011. You will join an ambitious and pioneering team in the holographic world, providing concrete answers to the needs of major French and international groups (industry, culture, entertainment, health, etc.). You will have the opportunity to work on adding a mobile AR modality to our projects (Android/iOS).

Your team

Within the HoloForge team, 10 people, you will be supervised by the Lead Programmer as part of a 6-month internship in Bordeaux.

Your missions

• You will work on the development of a tracking system for immersive experiences, in close collaboration with the rest of the development team.
• You will conduct a state-of-the-art review of existing technical solutions (Location Based Entertainment solutions, UWB technology, or fiducial markers).
• You will develop prototypes in an iterative mode to validate technical and ergonomic choices.
• You will present the results to the rest of the development team, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches proposed.
• You will integrate this system into a production context and actively participate in the project.
• You will update our continuous integration environment so that these new devices are fully integrated into our production process.

The fundamentals for success in this role

• You are currently pursuing a Bac+5 degree in computer science and are looking for an end-of-study internship.
• You have a particular interest in new technologies, especially virtual reality or augmented reality.
• You identify with the values of Innovation, Agility, and Team Spirit.
• You are sensitive to issues of ergonomics, software architecture, and software quality.
• You are very comfortable with the C++ programming language, as well as the Unity / C# environment.
• You have an operational level in French (written and oral).

And what's an internship at Asobo like?

• By joining us for your end-of-study internship, Asobo commits to offering you the framework and support that will allow you to continue learning your profession alongside experienced professionals.
• 5%: This is the average proportion of interns in Asobo's workforce over a year: the guarantee of being able to rely daily on an experienced team that has already released numerous immersive experiences.
• 70%: This is the proportion of end-of-study internships converted into employment contracts at Asobo. Our goal during your internship is to bring you to a sufficient level of mastery to be able to offer you a permanent place in the team.
• 0%: This is the number of "photocopy" internships at Asobo. We offer valuable missions with a concrete impact on our ongoing projects. It is by contributing concretely to real projects, even if it sometimes means making mistakes, that you will truly learn how to create immersive experiences.
