Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.
We are looking for a curious, fast-moving 3D Generalist to join our 3D/Visualization team. You will work across the full 3D pipeline: modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, animation, and real-time, to create the visuals that bring Saronic's vessels, systems, and environments to life. You will be hands-on from day one, shipping work that appears in customer briefings, events, product films, and across the company.
This is an ideal role for an early-career designer who is hungry to grow, loves experimenting with new tools, and wants to be at the center of a fast-changing field. You will learn from experienced designers across Brand, Industrial, 3D/Visualization, Product, and Video, and you will have the freedom to bring in new techniques and help shape how our team works.
3D Modeling and Asset Creation
Model hard-surface vessels, systems, props, and environments from engineering CAD, concept art, and reference, optimizing geometry for both offline and real-time use.
Build clean UVs, textures, and PBR materials that work anywhere the asset goes, from hero renders to real-time engines.
Build and maintain a library of reusable, well-organized assets that the whole team can pull from.
Lighting, Rendering, and Look Development
Light and render photoreal and stylized scenes for stills, animations, and real-time experiences.
Develop look and mood that feels cinematic, accurate, and unmistakably Saronic.
Optimize scenes for quality and render time, and keep pace with new rendering technologies.
Animation and Real-Time
Animate vessels, mechanisms, cameras, and simulated environments (water, weather, FX) to explain how our technology works.
Build interactive and real-time scenes in Unreal Engine, or similar, for demos, events, and internal tools.
Prototype quickly to test ideas, then refine the best ones into finished work.
New Tools and Workflows
Stay current on emerging 3D, real-time, and AI-assisted tools, and bring in the ones that make the team faster or the work better.
Experiment with new techniques, test them on real projects, and share what you learn so the whole team levels up.
Help build repeatable pipelines, scene templates, and documentation so projects move smoothly from CAD to final output.
Collaboration and Delivery
Work closely with Growth, Industrial Design, Engineering, Brand, Motion, and Video to turn ideas and CAD into compelling visuals.
Take direction and feedback well, iterate quickly, and deliver on short timelines, including support for events and customer demos.
Manage your own files, versions, and deadlines, and communicate progress and blockers early.
Handle sensitive and export-controlled information responsibly, following company guidelines on what can be shown and shared.
1–3 years of professional experience in 3D (in-house, studio, freelance, or equivalent), or an exceptional portfolio from school or personal projects that shows the same level of skill.
A strong portfolio showing end-to-end 3D work: modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, and animation, with attention to craft and realism.
Proficiency in Cinema 4D or Blender, plus a physically based renderer (Redshift, Octane, Cycles, or similar).
Experience with texturing and material tools such as Substance 3D Painter/Designer, and familiarity with procedural texturing.
Working knowledge of a real-time engine, such as Unreal Engine or Unity.
Solid fundamentals in form, composition, lighting, color, and camera.
A demonstrated habit of learning new tools quickly, with examples of picking up new software or techniques on your own.
Strong communication skills and the ability to take feedback and iterate fast.
Comfort with fast-moving, ambiguous environments and shifting priorities.
Ability to work on-site and travel occasionally for events and demos.
Hands-on experience with AI-assisted and emerging 3D workflows, such as generative image and 3D tools, ComfyUI-style pipelines, and capture techniques like photogrammetry or Gaussian splatting.
Experience with Houdini or other procedural and simulation workflows (water, weather, FX).
Experience with Unreal Engine for cinematic, interactive, or virtual production work.
Compositing and finishing skills in After Effects or Nuke.
Experience working from CAD and engineering data (for example from SolidWorks or Rhino), including cleanup and optimization for visualization.
Familiarity with rendering cached simulations (Alembic, VDB, USD) handed off from FX artists.
Familiarity with OCIO/ACES color management, so color stays consistent between Cinema 4D, Unreal, and compositing.
Experience with Plasticity or similar CAD-style modeling tools.
Basic scripting or technical art skills (Python, Blueprints, or Geometry Nodes).
Interest in or familiarity with defense, aerospace, robotics, or maritime technology.
Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
Occasional standing and walking within the office
Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment
Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports
Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Austin, TX. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Austin compares. Among the 120 largest places in Texas, Austin is #4 by population, #5 for remote work (#1 = most), #111 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #13 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Travis County, is #5 of 254 counties for average pay ($96,267).
Austin has 979,539 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 3.2% of the population of Texas. It covers 326 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,001 people per square mile. The median age is 34.7, about the same as the state median (34.7 against 35.6).
The median gross rent is $1,729 a month (rent plus utilities), 23% above the state median ($1,729 against $1,403). Over a year that is 22.2% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $555,300, which is 5.9 times the median household income ($93,658); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.5% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (43.5% against 62.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX metropolitan area has 1,293,690 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $56,950 a year, 12% above the national median ($56,950 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (159,340 jobs, median $47,770); management (133,950 jobs, median $129,060); food preparation and serving related (120,570 jobs, median $33,280). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.9 times) and architecture and engineering (1.5 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($129,060) and computer and mathematical ($114,350). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Travis County was 3.6%. 75.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Travis County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 56.0% drive alone, 2.0% use public transit, 2.5% walk, 30.7% work from home. 10.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 40% below the state average (10.2% against 16.9%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.
59.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 76% above the state share (59.6% against 33.8%). 18.7% of residents were born outside the United States, 7% above the state share (18.7% against 17.6%). The poverty rate is 12.0%, 13% below the state rate (12.0% against 13.8%).
The warmest month is Aug, averaging 86°F (30.1°C), and the coolest is Jan at 49°F (9.3°C). About 841 mm (33 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (111 mm) and Feb the driest (45 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Pflugerville (14 miles, rent 12% higher); Cedar Park (15 miles, rent 7% higher); Round Rock (17 miles, similar rent); Leander (20 miles, rent 12% higher). Rent differences are against Austin; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
