• Assist in converting and refining CAD or design files into usable 3D assets
• Apply materials, textures, and basic lighting to produce clear and accurate visual representations
• Optimize models and assets for real-time performance in Unity
• Ensure models are built to accurate scale and reflect real-world layouts
• Collaborate with Unity developers to integrate assets into simulation environments

• Familiarity with UV mapping and texturing
• Ability to interpret floor plans, drawings, or reference images
• Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
• Interest in building real-world environments (facilities, infrastructure, etc.)

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to CAD, Revit, or BIM files (academic or project experience is acceptable)
• Familiarity with Unity or other real-time engines
• Experience optimizing assets for real-time performance (even at a basic level)
• Portfolio demonstrating environment modeling (academic or personal projects acceptable)
• Interest in simulation, digital twin, or visualization environments

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in 3D Modeling, Visualization, Game Art, Architecture, or a related field
• 0–2 years of relevant experience (internships or academic projects acceptable)
• Ability to learn quickly and take direction from senior team members
