3D Artist - Automotive Data Preparation

About this Role

AVATR Global Design Center is seeking a Technical 3D Artist to join our growing Visualization Team in Munich.

This is a key role at the intersection of automotive design, 3D data preparation, real‑time visualization, and pipeline development. You will take ownership of the preparation and integration of CAS and CAD data for our visualization pipeline, ensuring that vehicle models are delivered consistently, efficiently, and at the required visual quality.

Beyond preparing assets directly, you will refine workflows, establish clear standards, and enable other team members to prepare data within the pipeline. You will collaborate closely with Digital Modeling, Design, and CMF teams to improve interfaces between departments and identify recurring data issues.

• Integrate and maintain vehicle designs, derivatives, and configurations into our Unreal Engine‑based model library to ensure compatibility with an evolving pipeline.
• Produce standardized imagery using the team’s established rendering pipeline.
• Define, document, and continuously improve data preparation workflows and standards.
• Develop workflow improvements using Python, Unreal Engine Blueprints, or comparable automation technologies.
• Train and enable visualization artists to perform defined preparation and publishing tasks.

• Several years of professional experience in automotive visualization, digital modeling, technical art, or a comparable 3D production environment.
• Strong experience working with automotive CAS or CAD data and a solid understanding of vehicle development and design processes.
• Expert or highly proficient knowledge of Autodesk VRED and Unreal Engine.
• High proficiency in at least one industry‑standard DCC application (Maya, Blender, etc.).
• Experience preparing complex 3D assets, including hierarchy management, materials, variants, and naming conventions.
• A strong understanding of topology, normals, tessellation, UVs, materials, and real‑time rendering requirements.
• Working knowledge of Python and Unreal Engine Blueprints, with an interest in workflow automation and tool development.
• Excellent communication and cross‑functional coordination skills.
• Professional proficiency in English.

• Competitive salary reflecting your skills and experience.
• Hybrid working – flexibility to work both remotely and in the office.
• Annual leave – 30 days of paid annual leave.
