About The Position

Bedrock Robotics is seeking an exceptional Technical Artist to help build and scale its robotics simulation environment. Simulation supports autonomy development by enabling end-to-end system validation, evaluation of complex and unsafe scenarios, and testing at scale. The autonomy stack is deeply machine-learning-driven, and reducing the sim-to-real gap is a central focus of the role.

The simulator should accurately represent construction sites, including real-world lighting, 3D content, and terrain deformation for digging and earthmoving, while remaining efficient enough to support thousands of runs. High-quality simulation is central to accelerating robotics development.

The Technical Artist will own the 3D content generation and curation pipeline, develop simulation systems for ML-based autonomy, evaluation, and safety validation, improve realism and performance, and help guide strategy for procedural scene generation and rendering. The role is suited to someone passionate about large-scale, realistic simulation, experienced with advanced 3D simulation software, and eager to build core simulation content.

Requirements

• Games or simulation background with at least 4 years working in real-time 3D.
• Strong foundation in technical art, including 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, PBR materials, lighting, and performance optimization.
• Hands-on experience with Unreal Engine, with at least 2 years of experience.
• Passion for large-scale, realistic simulation systems.
• Experience with advanced 3D simulation software.
• A hands-on mindset and enthusiasm for building core simulation content.

Nice To Haves

• Robotics simulation experience.
• Experience with Isaac Sim or Omniverse.
• Experience with neural rendering techniques such as Gaussian splats or NeRFs.

Responsibilities

• Own the 3D content generation and curation pipeline for an autonomous construction simulator.
• Develop simulation systems that support ML-based autonomy, evaluation, and safety validation.
• Improve simulation realism and performance to better reflect real-world behavior.
• Help guide strategy for procedural scene generation and rendering techniques.
