Technical Artist

Technical Artist Who We Are At Meshy, we believe 3D creation should be boundless and accessible. Our mission statement is simple: unleash creativity. We built a full pipeline for 3D content ranging from text/image to 3D, texturing, texture editing, animation rigging, etc. We also built a vibrant community for our creators, where people can share their work, take inspiration from others, and even use it as an asset marketplace for their games and prototypes. We are the market leader in 3D generative AI, recognized as the No.1 in popularity among 3D AI tools (according to the 2024 A16Z Games survey), and we generate real value and are used by enterprises (including DNEG, Square Enix, Meta, etc.) and millions of end users. Meshy is used in game and film production, in 3D printing, in industrial product design, in the enablement of novel product features such as user-generated content, and even in training and simulation for robotics and physical AI. Your Next Challenge As a core member of the Applied Research team at Meshy AI, you will be the vital bridge between GenAI research and creative production. Your primary mission is to translate cutting-edge algorithmic concepts into robust production pipelines, build automated evaluation workflows, and ensure our model development is grounded in real-world artistic utility. Key Responsibilities - Pipeline Triage & Optimization: Act as the first line of defense for texture generation pipelines. Troubleshoot daily anomalies, identify root causes (geometry, UV, or algorithmic), and implement rapid hotfixes while guiding next-generation model improvements. - Algorithm to Production: Collaborate closely with Machine Learning Engineers (MLEs) during new feature rollouts. Translate high-level algorithmic concepts into production-ready pipeline code and assist in technical debugging. - Automated Evaluation & Tooling: Design and execute automated batch evaluation pipelines to run results for the art team. Build and maintain artist-facing 3D workflows to streamline feedback and testing. - Standardize Creative Evaluation: Establish and maintain robust evaluation standards, translating customer goals into concrete test cases to define "what good looks like" for our GenAI outputs. What We’re Looking For - Solid CG Math Foundation: Deep understanding of 3D content creation systems, specifically geometry, UV mapping, camera intrinsics/extrinsics, rendering basics, and coordinate space transformations. - Technical Proficiency: Strong coding skills (Python/C++) with a proven ability to read, modify, and maintain complex texture pipeline code. - Industry Experience: Solid background in real 3D production (games or film) and proficiency in standard tools (e.g., Blender, Substance Painter, Houdini). - GenAI Passion & Collaboration: Comfort with GenAI content creation and automated workflow development. Excellent communication skills to effectively bridge the gap between research (MLEs), art teams, and product. A Little More about meshy.ai http://meshy.ai Trusted by Meta, Square Enix, Deepmind and more, Meshy is redefining 3D creation with generative AI. We empower artists, designers, engineers, hobbyists, and makers to bring immersive worlds, characters, and experiences to reality in minutes instead of months. In addition to our core mission of unleashing creativity, we build a culture that we enjoy and are proud of. Here are some highlights: - We value intelligence and the pursuit of knowledge. We are a global team of generative-AI pioneers, computer-graphics veterans, and product builders who believe human expression and enjoyment is the ultimate frontier of computing. - We care deeply about our work, our users, and each other. Empathy and passion drive us forward. We have a culture of directness and truthfulness, therefore we value constructive criticism. Being direct and truthful is the most sincere form of trust and care. - We trust our instincts and are not afraid to take bold ris ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
