ROLE
– Build high-fidelity 3D models of vehicles and infrastructure/environment assets
– Create clean, simulation-ready meshes with correct scale, orientation, and naming
– Maintain Levels of Detail for performance and scalability
– Model from technical references, drawings, images, and public/open-source materials
– Verify assets against references for dimensional accuracy, proportions, key features, and assemblies
– Ensure mesh integrity: watertight/manifold, correct normals, consistent topology, and no self-intersections
– Validate and document surface/material properties used in simulation/rendering
– Establish QC checklists and acceptance criteria for assets
– Identify and resolve geometry/material issues causing artifacts in downstream rendering/simulation outputs
– Integrate assets into an automated Blender-based pipeline and standardized scene conventions
– Write small Python scripts/utilities for export automation and validation checks
– Support minor fixes/maintenance to existing asset tooling and documentation
– Maintain asset preparation guidelines: modeling rules, export settings, QC procedures, and versioning practices
– Create example assets/templates to help standardize future model creation

REQUIREMENTS
– Strong CAD/3D modeling experience
– Strong understanding of mesh topology, geometric accuracy, and clean export practices
– Experience exporting STL/OBJ with consistent scale and orientation
– Blender experience
– Ability to perform structured QA/QC using references and produce clear validation reports
– Basic Python scripting for automation/validation
– Familiarity with ray-tracing/rendering workflows or physics-based simulation constraints
– Experience with large assemblies, vehicles, or infrastructure-grade models
– Git/version control and asset versioning discipline
– Experience building internal standards/checklists for asset production
