Job description

Who is Anatomage?
Founded in 2004, Anatomage is a world-leading health care technology company. Anatomage offers 3D software for anatomy and physiology education including a life-sized virtual dissection platform.
About the Role:
As a VFX and Animation Artist at Anatomage, you will be the driving creative force
behind our real-time simulations and visual effects. While this role requires a
well-rounded 3D generalist skillset including modeling, texturing, and lighting, your
primary focus will be crafting stunning visual effects and lifelike animations.
What You'll Do:
You will utilize your 3D generalist skills - spanning modeling, texturing, and lighting - to
create a variety of digital environments. Your main emphasis will be bringing these
environments to life by executing workflows across both real-time simulation and
character animation within Unreal Engine. You will utilize the Niagara system and
Houdini to create scientifically accurate special effects. You will also handle character
rigging and animation for MetaHumans. While you may have a stronger background or
personal specialization in one of these areas, you will be expected to actively deliver
results across both disciplines, ensuring all assets are technically optimized for our
interactive platforms.
Requirements
Skills and Abilities Required:
Candidates should have a strong 3D generalist foundation in industry-standard software such as Maya, Blender, or Substance Painter for modeling, texturing, and lighting environments. Alongside these generalist skills, candidates must possess deep, hands-on experience in either real-time VFX such as Niagara, Blueprints, Houdini simulation pipelines or advanced character rigging and animation fundamentals including experience with MetaHumans or a strong combination of both. The ideal candidate demonstrates strong organizational skills, artistic talent, and exceptional attention to detail.
* Resume and Portfolio required in order to be considered*
Minimum Education and Experience Required:
Formal education in Art, Digital Arts, 3D Modeling, Animation, Medical Illustration, or a related discipline is preferred. Equivalent professional experience and a strong portfolio demonstrating relevant skills will also be considered. Minimum 3 years of professional realtime VFX or Animation experience.
Benefits
What We Offer
  • Health, Dental, and Vision care for you and your family
  • 401K savings plan with employer matching
  • Generous PTO leave and paid holidays
  • Casual work culture
  • Commuter benefits
  • On site gym facility
  • Team bonding activities, catered lunches, and free snacks in the office!
