Key Responsibilities

3D Asset Creation:

o  Use photogrammetry, 3D scanning, and other digital twin techniques to capture high-quality base models of in-house equipment.

o  Refine and enhance models to meet technical and visual requirements, ensuring accurate geometry, textures, and details.

o  Develop interactive HMI elements (e.g., buttons, knobs, sliders, and displays) for real-time applications in Unity.

Interactivity Integration:

o  Build models with functional, interactive components designed for Unity’s input systems (e.g., button presses, knob rotations).

o  Collaborate with Unity developers to ensure interactive features integrate smoothly into applications.

Optimization: Optimize assets for performance, focusing on efficient polygon counts, LOD setups, and texture resolution for real-time rendering.

Collaboration: Work closely with engineers, developers, and subject-matter experts to ensure asset functionality aligns with project requirements.

Photogrammetry Processing: Process raw photogrammetry data into usable 3D models, including cleaning, retopologizing, and texturing.

Documentation: Maintain organized documentation on asset creation workflows, photogrammetry processes, and interactivity standards.

Qualifications

Requirements:

• Must be a U.S. Citizen
• Experience with photogrammetry software (e.g., RealityCapture, Agisoft Metashape, or similar) and digital twin workflows.
• Strong knowledge of Unity, including importing assets, setting up interactivity, and real-time rendering techniques.
• Familiarity with creating and implementing interactive HMI components (e.g., functional buttons and knobs).
• Proficiency with texturing tools like Substance Painter or Photoshop.
• Portfolio showcasing high-quality 3D models, photogrammetry-based assets, and Unity-integrated projects.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Graphics, Game Design, 3D Art, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 2+ years of experience as a Unity 3D Artist or in a similar role.
• Familiarity with defense-related applications or government projects.
• Knowledge of C# scripting in Unity for asset functionality.
• Understanding of Agile development workflows.
• Military Experience.

Benefits:

• Competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience ($35–$45/hour).
• Flexible work schedule
• Opportunities for professional growth and exposure to cutting-edge defense projects.
