You will work across the full 3D pipeline: modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, animation, and real-time, to create the visuals that bring Saronic's vessels, systems, and environments to life. You will be hands-on from day one, shipping work that appears in customer briefings, events, product films, and across the company.\nThis is an ideal role for an early-career designer who is hungry to grow, loves experimenting with new tools, and wants to be at the center of a fast-changing field. You will learn from experienced designers across Brand, Industrial, 3D/Visualization, Product, and Video, and you will have the freedom to bring in new techniques and help shape how our team works.\nResponsibilities\n3D Modeling and Asset Creation\nModel hard-surface vessels, systems, props, and environments from engineering CAD, concept art, and reference, optimizing geometry for both offline and real-time use.\n\nBuild clean UVs, textures, and PBR materials that work anywhere the asset goes, from hero renders to real-time engines.\n\nBuild and maintain a library of reusable, well-organized assets that the whole team can pull from.\n\nLighting, Rendering, and Look Development\nLight and render photoreal and stylized scenes for stills, animations, and real-time experiences.\n\nDevelop look and mood that feels cinematic, accurate, and unmistakably Saronic.\n\nOptimize scenes for quality and render time, and keep pace with new rendering technologies.\n\nAnimation and Real-Time\nAnimate vessels, mechanisms, cameras, and simulated environments (water, weather, FX) to explain how our technology works.\n\nBuild interactive and real-time scenes in Unreal Engine, or similar, for demos, events, and internal tools.\n\nPrototype quickly to test ideas, then refine the best ones into finished work.\n\nNew Tools and Workflows\nStay current on emerging 3D, real-time, and AI-assisted tools, and bring in the ones that make the team faster or the work better.\n\nExperiment with new techniques, test them on real projects, and share what you learn so the whole team levels up.\n\nHelp build repeatable pipelines, scene templates, and documentation so projects move smoothly from CAD to final output.\n\nCollaboration and Delivery\nWork closely with Growth, Industrial Design, Engineering, Brand, Motion, and Video to turn ideas and CAD into compelling visuals.\n\nTake direction and feedback well, iterate quickly, and deliver on short timelines, including support for events and customer demos.\n\nManage your own files, versions, and deadlines, and communicate progress and blockers early.\n\nHandle sensitive and export-controlled information responsibly, following company guidelines on what can be shown and shared.\n\nQualifications\n1-3 years of professional experience in 3D (in-house, studio, freelance, or equivalent), or an exceptional portfolio from school or personal projects that shows the same level of skill.\n\nA strong portfolio showing end-to-end 3D work: modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, and animation, with attention to craft and realism.\n\nProficiency in Cinema 4D or Blender, plus a physically based renderer (Redshift, Octane, Cycles, or similar).\n\nExperience with texturing and material tools such as Substance 3D Painter/Designer, and familiarity with procedural texturing.\n\nWorking knowledge of a real-time engine, such as Unreal Engine or Unity.\n\nSolid fundamentals in form, composition, lighting, color, and camera.\n\nA demonstrated habit of learning new tools quickly, with examples of picking up new software or techniques on your own.\n\nStrong communication skills and the ability to take feedback and iterate fast.\n\nComfort with fast-moving, ambiguous environments and shifting priorities.\n\nAbility to work on-site and travel occasionally for events and demos.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nHands-on experience with AI-assisted and emerging 3D workflows, such as generative image and 3D tools, ComfyUI-style pipelines, and capture techniques like photogrammetry or Gaussian splatting.\n\nExperience with Houdini or other procedural and simulation workflows (water, weather, FX).\n\nExperience with Unreal Engine for cinematic, interactive, or virtual production work.\n\nCompositing and finishing skills in After Effects or Nuke.\n\nExperience working from CAD and engineering data (for example from SolidWorks or Rhino), including cleanup and optimization for visualization.\n\nFamiliarity with rendering cached simulations (Alembic, VDB, USD) handed off from FX artists.\n\nFamiliarity with OCIO/ACES color management, so color stays consistent between Cinema 4D, Unreal, and compositing.\n\nExperience with Plasticity or similar CAD-style modeling tools.\n\nBasic scripting or technical art skills (Python, Blueprints, or Geometry Nodes).\n\nInterest in or familiarity with defense, aerospace, robotics, or maritime technology.\n\nPhysical Demands\nProlonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer\n\nOccasional standing and walking within the office\n\nManual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment\n\nVisual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports\n\nOccasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies\n\nLifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages)\n\nBenefits\nMedical Insurance: Comprehensive health insurance plans covering a range of services\nSaronic pays 100% of the premium for employees and 80% for dependents\nDental and Vision Insurance: Coverage for routine dental check-ups, orthodontics, and vision care\nSaronic pays 100% of the premium under the basic plan for employees and 80% for dependents\nTime Off: Generous PTO and Holidays\nParental Leave: Paid

match\nStock Options: Equity options to give employees a stake in the company’s success\nLife and Disability Insurance: Basic life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage\nPet
