Join; Berlin; Vor Ort; EUR 42.000 - 66.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Join in Berlin seeks a hands-on Motion Designer/3D artist to turn heavy mechanical assemblies into real-time, render-ready assets. You will create exploded views, animations and materials that explain the tech behind our robots, with a focus on realism and efficiency.

We value a strong reel and at least two years of practical experience. Proficiency in Blender and Cinema 4D is required, Octane is a plus, along with After Effects and Premiere for cutting.

Qualifikationen

• Degree in motion design, animation or media design, or a strong reel.
• At least two years hands-on work in motion design or related fields.
• Experience turning CAD data into real-time render assets and explorable views.
• Proficiency in Blender and Cinema 4D; Octane is a plus; After Effects/Premiere for editing.

Aufgaben

• Get CAD ready for rendering and real-time use, turning large assemblies into clean assets.
• Create exploded views, cutaways and animations to explain mechanics clearly.
• Build realistic materials for metals, plastics, glass and LEDs; keep projects organized.
• Do motion design in a house style: titles, typography, transitions and UI animation.
• Edit workshop footage with 3D work for website, social, trades shows and investor meetings.
• Apply AI tools to accelerate concepting, cleanup or upscaling where beneficial.

Jobbeschreibung

Your tasks

• Get CAD ready for rendering: Turn heavy mechanical assemblies from engineering into clean 3D assets that render, animate and run in real time without falling apart. The hardware stands in our workshop, and the next machine is never far behind.
• Show what is inside: Exploded views, cutaways and assembly animations that explain the mechanics without a technical drawing, so customers understand the tech behind the product.
• Materials that look real: Build shaders for aluminum, stainless steel, glass, rubber, carbon, plastics, displays and LEDs, so a render reads as the actual object rather than as a render. Scenes, materials and rigs stay organized, so the next project does not start from zero.
• Motion design in a house style: Titles, typography, transitions, logo animation, and 2D animation for interface elements like animated displays and icons. It should look like us, not like a template pack.
• Editing and post: Footage from the workshop and tests, mixed with 3D work, becomes what we use on the website, on social, at trade shows and in investor meetings. Editing, grading, sound, subtitles, and a version that fits each channel.
• Put AI to work: You use AI and generative tools (e.g. comfy) where they actually save time, whether that is concepting, cleanup or upscaling. You keep testing what is new, keep what earns a place in the pipeline, and drop the rest.

Your profile

• Background: A degree in motion design, animation or media design, or a self taught route with a reel that makes the question pointless.
• Experience: At least two years of hands on work, whether from an internship, freelance jobs, a studio or your own projects. What the work looks like matters more to us than where it was made.
• CAD is not new to you: You have opened engineering data before and know roughly what happens when a heavy assembly meets a render engine.
• Reel: Hard surfaces, metal, glass and light. Even one personal project done properly tells us more than ten client jobs you only assisted on.
• Tools: Experience in Blender and Cinema 4D, Octane is a plus. After Effects and either Premiere for the cut.
• How you work: Hands on and fast to a first version. You get things finished instead of perfect, and you notice when a detail stops being worth the hours.
• Languages: Fluent English. Good German is a real plus.

Why us?

• Your work is what people see of us: Almost everything the outside world sees of our robots comes out of your hands, and you decide how that looks.
• Everything under one roof: Labs, workshop and test rigs are in the same Kreuzberg building. The engineer you need is a walk away, not a ticket.
• Room to get better: Paid learning time and a personal budget for it, projects where something is allowed to not work the first time, and support for portfolio work and conference talks as the company becomes known.
• Benefits: A benefits package you put together yourself, covering mobility, home setup, health or food. Plus one extra paid day off a year for volunteering or a project you care about.

Process: Intro call -> Portfolio deep-dive -> Half-day on-site visit with a small design exercise -> Offer.

We build robots for everyone, so we want a team that reflects that. We hire on what you can do, and we welcome applications from people who are underrepresented in 3D and motion.
