  • Flexibility and an open-minded approach to problem-solving.
  • Openness to feedback, continuous learning, and knowledge sharing with teammates.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Unreal Engine.
  • Basic scripting skills (e.g., Python, JavaScript).
  • Practical experience using hand and power tools to build, modify, or maintain equipment and scanning setups.
  • Experience working with actors, performers, or models in a studio or production environment.
  • Experience with photogrammetry rigs is a plus.
