Job summary

Hexagon Robotics is seeking a 3D Asset Artist for robotics simulation. You will build a simulation-ready 3D asset library for AEON, turning CAD data into OpenUSD assets with accurate physics, collisions, materials, and semantic labels for perception and autonomy teams.

You will collaborate cross-functionally to ensure assets meet real-time performance and integration needs, using OpenUSD, Isaac Sim, and industry-standard DCC tools.

Qualifications

• Degree in 3D art, technical art, or industrial design.
• Hands-on OpenUSD experience with references, payloads, layers.
• Direct experience with NVIDIA Isaac Sim/Omniverse or similar 3D engines.
• Proficiency with DCC tools (Blender, Maya, 3ds Max).
• Familiarity with SimReady asset specifications and USD workflows.
• Python scripting for asset pipelines and USD tooling.

Responsibilities

• Own the 3D asset pipeline from data ingestion to deployment in SimReady scenes.
• Import and convert CAD assets to clean, optimized OpenUSD assets.
• Model 3D assets and environments from CAD data or references.
• Make assets SimReady with collision meshes, mass, materials, and labels.
• Optimize assets for real-time performance using LODs and instancing.
• Structure USD layers, references, payloads, and variants for reuse.
• Maintain asset standards and pipeline tooling.
• Collaborate with perception, simulation, and MLOps teams.
