Internship Remote 3D Visualization Jobs in Spring Valley, NY

OXMAN

OXMAN is a nature-based research and design company based in Manhattan. We incubate ventures and technologies that reimagine the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Working across disciplines—from architecture and ecology to computation and materials science—we develop nature-centric solutions to critical environmental challenges.

EDEN

EDEN is a digital design environment for the engineering and design of ecosystems—modeling the flows, relationships, and processes that sustain ecosystems, while bridging ecology and technology to enable the creation of resilient landscapes. We develop tools that quantify how landscapes can be engineered toward specific performance goals—cooling cities, filtering water, sequestering carbon, protecting key species—then use those tools to guide the design of ecologically active sites.

EDEN operates as both a design and innovation practice and an emerging software product. Today, our work spans strategic partnerships with developers, project-based design and analytics engagements, and the development of a software platform that packages our internal tools for broader use across the architecture, landscape architecture, and development industries.

Role Overview

We are seeking an enthusiastic and innovation-driven Senior Software Engineer to support our Eden Technologies—comprising design optimization, generative tools, environmental simulation, and ecosystem behavior models—into an integrated software platform. This role offers a unique opportunity to develop innovative technologies and visually compelling software that supports the digital design of architectural and urban projects optimized for ecosystem services.

Join us to redefine how design and technology can coexist with and enhance the natural world.

Please provide a cover letter and portfolio if available.
