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.

· Experience working closely with both artists and engineers in a collaborative environment
· Solid understanding of real-time engines (Unreal Engine preferred) and content pipelines

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
· Contribute to establishing best practices for vehicle creation, optimisation, and pipeline efficiency
Desirable

What we’re looking for
