XR Learning Experience Designer (temporary assignment)
Business Operations - Leuven | Just now
At imec’s FAB Training Centre, we prepare the next generation of cleanroom operators through a unique blend of theory, hands-on practice, and immersive digital learning. To strengthen this program, we are expanding our XR roadmap with new training modules that focus on realistic procedures, gamified decision-making, AI-driven feedback, and cognitive load insights. We are looking for a motivated person who wants to help shape these next-generation XR experiences. Your mission is not to develop Unity code, but to bring your craft, your creativity, and your analytical mindset to help us create better, clearer and more immersive training content.

The assignment
You will support our XR innovation by combining scriptwriting, gamified storytelling, interaction thinking, and voice-over design. You act as a bridge between experts, trainees, researchers, and XR builders. You will:
- Follow real cleanroom training yourself to understand the workflows from the inside.
- Translate technical procedures into clear, structured learning scripts that focus on the why, not just the steps.
- Integrate gamification principles (progression, challenge, feedback, reward loops) to make training engaging and motivating.
- Design “guidance levels” aligned with cognitive load research:
- Full guidance
- Delayed nudging
- Minimal guidance
- Help define where avatars, AI-assisted voice-overs and gaze-based triggers make learning more natural and intelligent.
- Gather insights through observations, interviews, photos, and videos and turn them into structured training scenarios.
- Design voice-overs that are clear, human, motivating and consistent with the training philosophy. This role blends technical communication, learning design, gamified thinking, and XR creativity in one of the world’s most advanced semiconductor environments.
Required knowledge and skills
- Strong interest in XR/VR/AR and digital learning
- Affinity with technical writing, storytelling, gamification, or instructional design
- Curiosity to explore complex technical processes and make them understandable
- Strong communicator with the ability to interview experts & trainees
- Analytical mindset: able to structure flows, decisions, + training logic
- Ability to deconstruct processes logically • Decision-tree and branching logic mindset
- Creative thinker: able to mix clarity, engagement, progression, and training goals
- Experience or interest in AI-driven content (avatars, LLM prompts, voice synthesis) is an extra plus
- English is the main working language; Flemish is an asset
What we offer
We offer you an exciting temporary assignment in which you will be part of a community that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will define the society of tomorrow.
