A senior 3D artist builds high-fidelity Unreal Engine environments and assets whose renders become synthetic data for training AI perception and autonomy systems. Day to day: modelling, texturing, lighting and optimising real-time scenes, scripting asset workflows, and working with AI/ML engineers and Unreal developers.
In this role you shape high-fidelity environments and assets for synthetic data used to train and test next-generation AI systems. You will work within a multidisciplinary team of engineers to deliver realistic, real-time scenes for complex real-world environments. The position offers impact through hands-on asset creation that directly supports advanced perception and autonomy technologies. Your contributions will enable robust AI performance in demanding domains.
