Résumé du poste

Antioch, the agentic simulation platform for robotics and autonomy, seeks a Technical Artist to develop a high-fidelity sim-ready asset pipeline. You will work across procedural and hand-crafted environment design, character animation pipelines, real-time visual FX, and physics systems to solve real-world problems.

This is an early, high-ownership builder role where your work directly influences autonomous systems deployed in industry. Strong portfolio and tooling experience required.

Qualifications

• Strong portfolio showing procedural thinking and custom tooling for real-time pipelines, preferably with Python.
• Deep knowledge of PBR materials, MDL/MaterialX, or Unreal shader networks.
• Experience building tools for procedural scene creation with Unreal Engine PCG, Houdini, or Blender Geometry Nodes.
