We are seeking a motivated Junior 3D Environment Artist to support the development of visual simulation environments. This role will focus on creating and refining 3D models of real-world facilities and infrastructure based on CAD drawings, floor plans, and design documents.

The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in 3D modeling and is interested in applying their skills to real-world environments rather than game or entertainment content. You will work closely with experienced team members and Unity developers to prepare assets for use in simulation environments.

This is a hybrid position. Three days a week will be spent in our Hendon, VA office.

• Create 3D models of facilities and environments based on CAD drawings, floor plans, and reference materials
• Assist in converting and refining CAD or design files into usable 3D assets
• Apply materials, textures, and basic lighting to produce clear and accurate visual representations
• Optimize models and assets for real-time performance in Unity
• Ensure models are built to accurate scale and reflect real-world layouts
• Collaborate with Unity developers to integrate assets into simulation environments
• Support development of reusable assets and environment components
• Incorporate feedback and iterate on models as requirements evolve
• Proficiency in at least one 3D modeling tool such as Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, or similar
• Basic understanding of 3D modeling fundamentals, including scale, topology, and geometry
• Familiarity with UV mapping and texturing
• Ability to interpret floor plans, drawings, or reference images
• Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
• Interest in building real-world environments (facilities, infrastructure, etc.)

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to CAD, Revit, or BIM files (academic or project experience is acceptable)
• Familiarity with Unity or other real-time engines
• Experience optimizing assets for real-time performance (even at a basic level)
• Portfolio demonstrating environment modeling (academic or personal projects acceptable)
• Interest in simulation, digital twin, or visualization environments

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in 3D Modeling, Visualization, Game Art, Architecture, or a related field
• 0–2 years of relevant experience (internships or academic projects acceptable)
• Ability to learn quickly and take direction from senior team members
