  • 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
