Tech Art Intern

Currently enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a Technical Art, Computer Science, Digital Media, or Game Development program, or a portfolio strong enough to stand in for one

Scripting experience in Python, C#, or a DCC scripting API. Bonus if you have written something that saved someone else time

Hands-on with at least one 3D package (Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender) and the Substance suite

Working knowledge of Unreal Engine

Solid real-time rendering fundamentals: how lighting, shading, UV layout, texture memory, and poly budgets affect performance

Genuine curiosity about performance. You like finding out why a frame is slow

Clear, proactive communication. You raise blockers early instead of quietly grinding on them

A portfolio or reel showing technical art work: tools, shaders, procedural systems, or optimization case studies

Nice to have: profiling tools (Unreal Insights, RenderDoc, PIX), HLSL, Houdini, or experience shipping to mobile or console
