Technical Artist

Moonlake • San Mateo, CA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Introducing Moonlake, AI for creating world simulations. Moonlake is building the frontier of 3D creation and world modeling: real-time interactive worlds, games, robotics simulation, multimodal datasets, and RL environments. Its world-modeling agent works directly inside Blender to automate creation of 3D scenes, articulated assets, and complex environments while preserving editability.

Requirements

• Deep proficiency with Blender
• Strong 3D modeling skills across hard-surface, environment, and object creation
• Ability to create realistic renders
• Strong understanding of materials, lighting, geometry, topology, and scene composition
• Comfort working across the full 3D pipeline, preferably mostly or entirely inside Blender
• Technical mindset: you understand how assets are used in engines, simulations, games, or interactive environments
• Fast iteration speed and high visual taste
• Strong portfolio showing polished 3D work

Nice To Haves

• Background in games, simulation, robotics, virtual worlds, or interactive media
• Experience with game engines or real-time 3D workflows
• Familiarity with physics-ready assets, rigging, articulation, collision, or procedural workflows
• Experience creating 3D content for AI, synthetic data, RL environments, or world-modeling systems
• Ability to work with tools beyond Blender, while still being strongest in Blender

Responsibilities

• Create realistic 3D models, props, environments, and articulated assets in Blender
• Build assets that are not just visually strong, but usable in interactive worlds
• Own end-to-end 3D workflows: modeling, texturing, materials, lighting, rendering, optimization, and scene polish
• Help create environments that support physics, interaction, gameplay, simulation, and embodied AI workflows
• Work closely with research and engineering teams building world models, real-time video models, and multimodal 3D systems
• Translate abstract prompts or product needs into clean, usable, production-quality 3D assets
• Improve visual quality, realism, and consistency across generated or hand-authored 3D worlds
