$147.5K/yr - $170K/yr - Palo Alto, CA
As we develop a fully integrated experience in our R1 and future vehicle lines, we need technical artists to help raise bar for, in vehicle, real time 3D rendering, and realize the next generation of self-driving visualizations, driver aids, and other 3D eye candy.
Our diverse team shares an innate curiosity for the world, a willingness to see things differently, and a passion for getting things done. We never stand still in our pursuit of progress, and we’re looking for the best and brightest talent to accelerate our vision toward future mobility.
Ford

As an XR (eXtended Reality) 3D Visualization Specialist you will be a champion within the Design Studio team, making the use of digital/immersive processes more ubiquitous in Ford Design. You will be required to work cross-functionally with Class A surfacing teams, Design creatives, and Color & Materials designers to make dynamic, precise models that allow the broader Ford Design team to see design vision in high resolution through monitors, power walls, and 3D XR headsets. You will also help coordinate immersive experiences for these teams and refine best practices for a global process of immersive design and collaboration.
Zoox
Senior/Staff Technical Artist
$164K/yr - $266K/yr - Foster City, CA - Hybrid
Simulation at Zoox is a diverse group of artists and engineers who create virtual worlds to test and train autonomous vehicles. Our fully automated simulation tools test various modalities in plausible 3d worlds each time data changes.
We are looking for a Senior Technical Artist to lead the development of Houdini based procedural buildings that are used in our 3D Simulator and Synthetic Data pipelines. This individual will drive new features that improve our building systems while maintaining existing functionality. We’ll be growing our database with new building types and adding support for things like attachments, variations, fully procedural residential buildings or interior rendering. Coding tasks might include headless control/hython, json based rules, QT UIs and tasks more suited to content generation.
