Jens R.
Last position:
Platform Architect & Senior Developer at Direct client, industrial measurement technology, medium-sized company
- Technical leadership across hardware, firmware, and software teams; scope: hardware/firmware team (4 people) and leadership group (5 people)
- Consolidated and documented a product family that had grown over more than 15 years and aligned it with CRA compliance — from the bare-metal I/O module to the cloud interface.
- Provided the most important customer product with the essential requirements and architecture documentation within two months — for a firmware landscape that had grown over more than 15 years. It now supports the customer’s modernization strategy.
- Established a monthly reporting line to the supervisory board and executive board within three months: nine meetings since 12/2025. The report itself is versioned and built from the CI pipeline; it is based on automatically collected activity and release data instead of assessments.
- Built a container-based CI/CD infrastructure from scratch: cross-compilation, host tests, and documentation builds in one continuous pipeline.
- Introduced declarative QA gates for DevOps and development artifacts — from the start using lefthook instead of pre-commit, executed in a dedicated container image.
Technologies used: arc42, req42, tpo42, docToolchain, PlantUML, ArchiMate, C4 model, ADR, C, C++ (GTest), CMake, Bare Metal (ARM Cortex-M3/M7), OCI containers, Jenkins, lefthook, Prometheus, Grafana, SBOM, CRA, OPC, SCADA, PLC integration, IPv6 migration, Zero Trust, Sociocracy 3.0, Cynefin

About the technology
What Unity Does
Unity is a real-time development engine for building interactive 2D, 3D, augmented reality and virtual reality experiences. Teams use it for games, product visualisations, training environments, digital twins, simulations and interactive applications across desktop, mobile, web and connected devices.
Core Capabilities
Unity specialists work across the full production cycle:
- Create scenes, prefabs, materials, lighting and animation systems
- Build gameplay, interaction and UI logic with C#
- Optimise performance for mobile, desktop, consoles and headsets
- Integrate multiplayer, analytics, payments and external services
They also configure input, physics, audio, asset workflows and platform builds to support reliable releases.
Ecosystem And Tools
The Unity ecosystem includes the Unity Editor, C# scripting, the Universal Render Pipeline, the High Definition Render Pipeline and the Entity Component System. Specialists may also use Shader Graph, Timeline, Cinemachine, Addressables, Animation tools and Unity Test Framework.
Depending on the project, adjacent skills include Blender or Maya, Substance tools, Git, automated build pipelines, cloud services and native mobile or console SDKs. Experience with XR interaction frameworks is important for immersive products.
When To Hire Freelance Expertise
Companies bring in Unity professionals when a prototype must become a stable product, an existing project needs performance work or a team requires a focused skill for a release. Freelancers can support scene production, technical art, gameplay systems, multiplayer features, porting, optimisation and live updates.
In Germany, Unity work appears in entertainment, industrial training, automotive visualisation, education, healthcare and marketing. Remote collaboration works well when repositories, build processes and design decisions are documented; on-site time can help with physical devices, studios or user testing.
What Strong Specialists Deliver
Strong Unity experts translate a product goal into maintainable scenes, components and production workflows. They separate gameplay and presentation logic, manage assets carefully and keep performance visible through profiling rather than relying on visual impressions.
They communicate trade-offs clearly, test on target hardware and leave behind readable C# code, repeatable builds and useful technical documentation. For teams hiring in Germany, clear English is common, while German can help when specialists work closely with local stakeholders.
Choosing The Right Fit
Look for work that resembles your output, target platforms and technical constraints rather than selecting only by visual quality. Ask how the professional handled frame time, memory, device fragmentation, version upgrades, source control and late design changes.
A strong fit can explain the reasoning behind architecture and tooling choices. They should also identify risks early, estimate work in concrete deliverables and collaborate effectively with artists, designers, product teams and existing technical specialists.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Unity? These answers cover the essentials.
Unity is used for games, simulations, interactive product experiences, augmented reality, virtual reality and digital twins. It can target mobile devices, desktops, consoles, browsers, industrial hardware and immersive headsets.
Unity and Unreal Engine both support real-time 2D and 3D production, but they differ in rendering workflows, tooling, licensing considerations and team preferences. Unity is often chosen for broad platform coverage, accessible C# development and flexible application work, while Unreal Engine is frequently considered for demanding visual fidelity and large-scale 3D environments.
A capable Unity specialist may also work with C#, Git, automated builds, profiling tools, 3D asset pipelines and cloud services. Depending on the project, useful adjacent skills include Blender, Maya, shader authoring, multiplayer networking, native mobile SDKs or XR interaction design.
The right level for Unity depends on the deliverable, target hardware and technical risk. A contained prototype may need a versatile professional, while a live product, multiplayer system, console release or performance-critical simulation calls for someone who has handled comparable production constraints.
Yes, Unity projects can usually be delivered remotely through shared repositories, issue tracking, design documentation and automated builds. On-site collaboration in Germany can still be useful when work involves physical prototypes, studio equipment, user testing or close coordination with a local team.
Review examples that match your platform and product type, then ask how the professional approached architecture, profiling, testing and release management. A strong Unity specialist can explain trade-offs, demonstrate reliable build practices and show how they kept code, assets and scenes maintainable.
A Unity freelancer should clarify the target platforms, engine version, source-control setup, asset ownership, performance goals and acceptance criteria. They should also confirm who supplies art and design assets, how builds are tested and which integrations are already available.
Unity supports many enterprise use cases beyond games, including equipment training, factory simulation, architectural visualisation, remote assistance and interactive sales tools. Its real-time rendering and multi-platform deployment can shorten iteration cycles when the project needs responsive 3D interaction.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Unity in their recent projects is 89 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 713 € based on an 8-hour working day.
