Ideal Candidate

• Self-driven and talented 3D modeler and texture artist
• Strong attention and dedication to detail
• Familiar with technical limitations and how models function within a game engine
• Excited about helping develop a tool that allows users to experiment with simulations, pushing the boundaries of what has been done in real-time for public consumption

Mandatory Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of modeling and texturing
• Proficient in 3D modeling software
• Excited about science and astronomy
• Familiar with version control and some kind of task-management system
