Senior Asset Pipeline Engineer, Sim-Ready Content

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential robotics simulation client searching for a Senior Asset Pipeline Engineer to build production-grade content pipelines at scale. You will own the architecture that takes raw geometry from varied sources and produces physically valid, render-ready assets without manual intervention.

Your responsibilities include:

• Building and maintaining the end-to-end asset pipeline, from ingestion through validated output, with guardrails that reject non-compliant data before it enters the library
• Designing agent-driven pipeline nodes that generate content, make decisions within the graph, and include structured outputs, retries, and verification to ensure reliability in batch processing
• Developing automated processing stages: mesh repair, retopology, decimation and LOD generation, UV unwrapping, texel density normalization, and collision proxy creation
• Deriving physical properties so assets behave correctly: mass, inertia, contact parameters, and articulation setup for simulation environments
• Managing appearance workflows: material conversion to PBR, texture processing, baking, and color management for path-traced rendering
• Defining and enforcing asset standards including units, orientation, pivots, naming conventions, and provenance tracking
• Scaling the pipeline to handle large batch operations with caching, versioning, and selective reprocessing when upstream stages change
• Embedding quality checks directly into the pipeline: physics stability tests, render validation, automated evaluation of generated content, and regression comparison on reprocessed assets
• Collaborating with rendering, physics, and research teams to define what "sim-ready" means for each downstream use case

What We're Looking For

Our talent team is seeking a candidate with deep production pipeline experience and strong technical judgment about content quality and automation.

Required qualifications:

• 5+ years building content or asset pipelines in games, VFX, simulation, or 3D tooling, with ownership of a pipeline deployed to production
• Deep knowledge of 3D asset formats and their limitations: USD, glTF, FBX, OBJ, plus physics description formats such as URDF or MJCF
• Strong Python skills and C++ proficiency where performance is critical
• Hands-on mesh processing expertise: remeshing, decimation, UV generation, repair operations, convex decomposition, and a clear understanding of failure modes for each technique
• Solid command of PBR material authoring, texture baking, and color space management
• Experience driving DCC tools headlessly (Blender, Houdini, Maya) and building batch or distributed job systems
• Practical experience integrating LLM or agent calls into production systems: prompting, tool use, structured output, cost and latency control, and non-determinism handling
• Understanding of what makes an asset physically valid in a simulator: separation of visual and collision geometry, mass properties, contact behavior, and numerical stability
• Judgment about quality bars, including knowing when an asset is good enough and when it requires further work

Nice to have:

• Experience processing output from generative or reconstruction-based 3D sources with automated evaluation
• Agent frameworks, orchestration, and evaluation tooling applied to content generation
• OpenUSD at scale: composition, layering, MaterialX
• Semantic annotation and dataset curation for large volumes
• Exposure to simulation platforms such as MuJoCo, Isaac Sim, or similar systems
