General Motors
Senior / Staff Technical Artist – Materials, Lighting & Procedural Environments
USA - San Francisco, CA
We’re looking for a Senior / Staff Technical Artist who sits at the intersection of materials, lighting, and procedural environment generation. You’ll define practical workflows and tools that let artists author high‑quality, performant content, and you’ll partner with rendering, ML, and perception teams to make sure it behaves as expected in our AV stack.
What You’ll Do
Material & shading pipeline
Design and maintain a physically‑based material pipeline for our simulation engines (e.g., MDL, shader graphs, or equivalent).
Author and calibrate high‑quality shaders and materials that respond correctly under a wide range of lighting conditions and camera models.
Standardize material libraries, authoring conventions, and validation workflows to keep content consistent and performant.
Lighting & rendering
Define best practices for environment and hero lighting in simulation scenes, including sky/atmospherics, time‑of‑day setups, and camera‑accurate exposure.
Build in‑engine lighting tools and evaluation scenes to help artists quickly assess quality, realism, and performance.
Partner with rendering engineers to profile lighting and shading, and to ship optimizations that reduce cost without sacrificing critical visual cues.
Procedural environment generation & placement
Build procedural systems to populate large‑scale environments with buildings, vegetation, traffic control devices, road debris, and other set dressing.
Develop procedural tools and workflows for generating layouts (streets, landscaping, prop distributions) that respect design, performance, and simulation constraints.
Collaborate with worldbuilding and content teams to encode art direction and AV testing needs into controllable procedural parameters.
Cross-functional collaboration
Partner with Simulation, ML, and Perception teams to understand what “realism” means from a sensor and model‑performance perspective, and tune your work accordingly.
Document standards, share best practices, and mentor other artists and technical artists on shading, lighting, and procedural workflows.
