About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop proof‑of‑concept visual features (e.g., cockpit displays, fluid dynamics, terrain rendering) in Unreal Engine; evaluate emerging technologies for aerospace use.
Translate aerospace requirements (e.g., accurate material properties, lighting for sensor simulations) into art pipeline specifications and ensure they are met throughout development.
Provide technical assistance to artists and engineers using 3D tools (Maya, Blender, Substance) and Unreal Engine, troubleshooting integration issues and ensuring compatibility across desktop and VR/AR platforms.
Design, document, and maintain robust pipelines for importing CAD data, rigging hard surface models, creating shaders and managing large‑scale environments that support frequent content updates and version control.
Identify bottlenecks in asset preparation, rendering and simulation runtimes. Implement custom scripts, plugins or off‑the‑shelf solutions to improve efficiency and reduce iteration time.
Create and enforce standards for asset optimization (polycount, texture streaming, LODs), develop profiling tools and conduct regular performance reviews to meet real‑time rendering constraints.
