3D Generalist: Modeling, Rigging & Animation (AI Evaluation)

Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge GenAI team to be at the core of the AI revolution, where your expertise fuels the development of the most advanced generative AI models.

Overview

Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge GenAI team and help build foundational AI models from the ground up. We're seeking a talented 3D Generalist with deep, hands-on studio experience in modeling, rigging and animation, Blender-first and comfortable scripting it with Python, to bring real 3D production judgment and elevate the quality of our AI training data. This is a full-time commitment of 40 hours per week.

This is a W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI Lab as part of their extended workforce.

Key Responsibilities

• Guide research teams to close knowledge gaps and improve AI model performance in 3D modeling, texturing, rigging and animation, and 3D product modeling.
• Design challenging, real-world 3D tasks drawn from studio and client workflows, and produce reference deliverables in editable source formats such as .blend, .fbx, .glb and, where CAD is involved, .step or .stl.
• Evaluate AI-generated 3D assets and give clear, written feedback, catching problems with topology, UVs, materials, scale, skin weights, rig behavior and animation loops.
• Develop guidelines, rubrics and quality checks for 3D work, including scripted mesh, UV and rig checks in Blender Python.
• Collaborate with other subject matter experts to ensure consistency and accuracy in training data.
