Senior Prop Artist

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential simulation technology organization building cutting-edge environments for robotics and embodied AI applications. We are seeking a Senior Prop Artist to create production-ready digital assets that bridge the gap between virtual and physical worlds. This is a craft-intensive position where your modeling, sculpting, and texturing expertise will directly impact how machines learn to operate in real environments. You'll build photoreal props and digital twins that must meet exacting standards for scale, material accuracy, and geometric precision—because these assets serve as training data for physical-world applications.

Responsibilities

• Create end-to-end photoreal props including modeling, high-poly sculpting, retopology, UV layout, and PBR texturing
• Recreate real-world objects from reference imagery and photogrammetry data, matching authentic dimensions, materials, and surface characteristics
• Clean up, retopologize, and optimize scanned assets and legacy geometry to meet real-time performance budgets while preserving visual fidelity
• Author assets to strict polygon counts, texture resolution, and memory constraints optimized for GPU-accelerated real-time rendering
• Collaborate with rendering and physics engineers to ensure assets are both visually and physically accurate within the simulation engine
• Maintain consistency, naming conventions, and quality standards across an expanding asset library

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of professional experience as a prop artist, hard-surface artist, or environment artist with shipped titles built under AAA real-time engine constraints (game development experience required, not VFX)
• Strong modeling proficiency in Maya and/or Blender
• Expert-level sculpting skills in ZBrush
• Mastery of PBR texturing workflows in Substance Painter and/or Substance Designer
• Hands-on photogrammetry and scan cleanup experience, with ability to transform raw scan data into production-ready assets
• Deep understanding of real-time rendering constraints including polygon budgets, LOD systems, texture memory management, and optimization trade-offs
• Exceptional eye for accuracy, scale, and material fidelity with consistent attention to detail
• Familiarity with GPU-accelerated rendering pipelines and path-traced renderer behavior is a strong plus
• Interest or background in robotics, embodied AI, or simulation-to-real-world applications is beneficial
