  • Proficiency in CAD and 3D modeling software (e.g., AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, SolidWorks).
  • Strong rendering and visualization skills using tools like Adobe Creative Suite, V-Ray, or similar.
  • Understanding of materials, structural design, and fabrication processes (metal, wood, acrylic, lighting integration).
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • A strong design portfolio showcasing conceptual thinking and fabrication-minded solutions.

Bonus Skills

  • Experience with signage design standards, ADA and OSHA compliance.
  • Knowledge of lighting integration, LEDs, and interactive displays.
  • Familiarity with AR/QR and fan engagement technologies.
  • Experience preparing shop drawings and installation details.

Why Join Us
