What you will do

• Convert mechanical drawings, CAD models, bills of material, and technical specifications into accurate, VR-ready 3D models and assemblies.
• Create interactive training assemblies, sub-assemblies, exploded views, service breakdowns, simplified models, cutaways, highlights, and color-coded components.
• Optimize geometry for real-time VR and game-engine pipelines through clean topology, efficient UV layouts, polygon budgets, LODs, draw-call optimization, and texture memory management.
• Create PBR materials, textures, decals, material variants, and baked normal maps for realistic and instructionally clear assets.
• Prepare asset hierarchies, pivots, naming conventions, documentation, and optimized FBX or glTF files for VR application integration.
• Collaborate with VR developers, instructional designers, engineers, and subject-matter experts through technical reviews and final delivery.

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional experience creating real-time 3D assets for VR, games, simulation, or interactive training.
• Strong proficiency with Blender, Maya, or 3ds Max.
• Experience with real-time asset optimization, including LOD generation, high-to-low-poly baking, texture optimization, polygon budgets, and draw-call reduction.
• Hands-on experience with PBR texturing and material creation using metal/roughness workflows.
• Mechanical engineering education or equivalent practical experience, with the ability to interpret technical drawings and CAD data.
• Portfolio demonstrating hard-surface and mechanical modeling with real-time optimization.

Nice to have

• Experience creating assets for industrial equipment, manufacturing tools, or technical training content.
• Familiarity with Unity or Unreal Engine for scale, lighting, performance validation, and integration support.
• Experience with CAD-to-real-time conversion pipelines.
• Understanding of VR usability, including scale perception, visual comfort, and interaction clarity.
• Experience with ZBrush for high-detail sculpting.
