Simulation Software development

Games Programmers. Are you sick of hearing what all the "other IT guys" earn in their cushy "consulting" jobs?



Well here is an opportunity for a games programmer with 3D graphics experience to keep doing what they love, and get paid well for it.



YTEK is a rapidly growing Australian technology organization supporting Australian Defence.

YTEK has developed, and now markets worldwide, the very successful ADGESIM suite of simulation and training applications originally designed for the Royal Australian Air Force.



YTEK currently have 2 positions open on Seek, for experienced games programmers, or a sharp honors graduate in a relevant field.

For those interested in a bit of background to why I'm posting there here. I worked for YTEK for a couple of years after graduating uni, doing simulation software development for defence before getting into games programming, and I strongly believe that my experience there is what gave me the relevant experience necessary to get a foot in the door of the games industry. Though now it's easier to get into the games industry than it is to YTEK. Even though I haven't worked there for over 2 years I still have good relationships with the director of YTEK and the guys I used to work with. They're offering a 12 month contract in the job, but in my experience those contracts are always extended for the right people. The hardest thing about leaving YTEK to get into the games industry was the paycut by about half. My desire to be in games development was strong enough to get past the drop in pay. But if you're a talented games programmer that wants to see what it's like to earn a decent wage, I urge you to check this out. If you're trying to get into the games industry as a programmer and have excellent uni results but no game demo's, this might also interest you.Souri2007-07-24 23:38:54
