• Integrate approved props into the game engine, ensuring correct setup, scale, and optimization.
• Collaborate closely with internal leads, technical artists, and production teams to maintain pipeline efficiency.
• Identify and troubleshoot visual or technical issues related to props assets.
• Maintain documentation and communicate best practices for props production and asset review.

Minimum Qualifications

• 1+ year of experience in a props artist or reviewer / outsourcing management role.
• At least one shipped title (console, PC, or equivalent).
• Strong understanding of prop art principles: modeling, texturing, materials, and real-time optimization.
• Proficient with Unreal Engine or a comparable real-time engine.
• Experienced in industry-standard tools such as Maya, Blender, Substance Painter/Designer, Photoshop, and ZBrush.
• Excellent communication and feedback delivery skills.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to maintain consistency across multiple props assets.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience managing or reviewing outsourced 3D props teams.
• Familiarity with procedural workflows and optimization techniques for real-time rendering.
• Experience with version control tools such as Perforce or Git.
• Understanding of performance budgets and best practices for large-scale game worlds.
