Job description

Job Description Now Hiring: Software Development Team Lead (CGI / 3D Simulation) Jacksonville / Orange Park area | Hybrid - 2 days remote 6-Month Contract-to-Hire Opportunity I'm partnering with a growing software development firm that builds real-time 3D simulation environments used for railroad engineer training and certification. They're looking for a Software Development (CGI) Team Lead who can combine technical depth, leadership, and creative problem-solving to lead their CGI development efforts. About the Role: This is a hands-on leadership position overseeing CGI development and production workflows.

You'll guide a team of developers and artists, manage project timelines, and ensure delivery of immersive, data-driven environments that meet both quality and performance standards. Reporting to the Production Manager, you'll also drive process improvements and mentor the technical team. Key Responsibilities: Lead the development of real-time 3D simulation environments for training software.

Oversee track network and terrain creation based on GIS and customer data. Manage 3D asset production - cities, landscapes, and interactive visual environments. Coordinate project execution across departments to ensure quality, cost, and delivery targets are met.

Support and refine CGI workflows for better efficiency and visual realism. What You'll Bring: Technical Skills: Strong knowledge of 3D environments and rendering pipelines. Proficiency with Blender (or equivalent tools like Autodesk Maya / 3ds Max).

Advanced experience with Substance Painter, UV mapping, and Unreal Engine (Blueprints & Data Assets). Scripting/coding skills (Python, C++, Perl, or JavaScript). Experience using GIS platforms such as Global Mapper, QGIS, or ArcGIS.

Soft Skills: Proven team leadership and mentorship experience. Excellent communication and collaboration abilities. Creative problem solver with a hands-on, results-driven approach.

Why It's Worth a Look: This 6-month contract-to-hire position offers the chance to make a direct impact on cutting-edge simulation technology while leading a talented, cross-functional team. You'll enjoy a hybrid work schedule, strong culture, and the opportunity to transition into a full-time leadership role after the contract phase.
