As a Senior Vehicle Technical Artist, you will play a critical role in supporting our vehicle art team by solving complex technical challenges and building scalable systems that improve how we create vehicles at scale. You will act as the bridge between art and engineering, driving improvements to pipelines, tools, and workflows that enable the team to deliver industry-leading vehicle quality efficiently.

This is a high-impact role focused on moving the team away from manual, asset-by-asset fixes toward robust, system-driven solutions that elevate both quality and productivity.

• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to simplify complex challenges into practical solutions
• Experience working closely with both artists and engineers in a collaborative environment
• Solid understanding of real-time engines (Unreal Engine preferred) and content pipelines
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence across disciplines

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and solve complex technical challenges across the vehicle art pipeline
• Design and implement scalable systems and workflows that address issues across multiple vehicles simultaneously
• Develop and improve tools that enable artists to work more efficiently and at higher quality
• Partner closely with artists and engineers to streamline content creation and integration
• Take ownership of systemic issues and drive solutions that improve output across the entire vehicle team
• Reduce reliance on manual fixes by introducing efficient, repeatable processes
• Support and guide artists in resolving technical challenges, improving overall team capability

• Experience optimising large-scale content pipelines

What we’re looking for
