Cunning Technical Artists in Finland wanted

Are you familiar with real-time graphics? Is your passion to create state of the art products, for big world class brands? Do you know how 3D graphics works in practice, like writing your own shaders? Are you baffled by how warm and sunny it is in Finland this time of year? (watch it will start snowing after writing that). If you have the skill set of an artist, are cool with 2D and 3D, and want to be a part of a company setting the standard for Finnish design, check this out:

Rightware, based in Espoo with a presence in Munich, Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo and Silicon Valley, is wedged between the gaming sector, design studio, and software company….,as the leader in interactive 2D and 3D user interface (UI) software. Our Kanzi UI solution is the world’s most advanced UI design and deployment solution for automotive cockpits. Since 2008, we have led and influenced the design of Audi’s UI cockpit cluster (for example), and our latest clients in this similar high end sector, are impressive. We also develop industry leading system performance benchmarking software, for customers such as Amazon, Intel, Microsoft, Samsung, NVIDIA, and the list goes on…

And we continue to grow! We are now looking for one, maybe two Technical Artists to complement our existing design team full of top caliber talents. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to be the bridge between our graphics artists and software developers in implementing our state of the art UI applications for various high end products (car UIs, Smart TV UIs, etc). You will participate in the development of the industry standard UI design software called Kanzi, middleware which enables modern UI creation by leveraging 2D and 3D graphics.

We require:

*Knowledge of real-time graphics

*3D modeling skills (Maya, 3DSMax, Softimage, Blender, etc)

*Familiarity with Adobe product family (PS, Illustrator, After effects)

*Good team working skills

*Customer oriented attitude

We appreciate:

*Experience with Shader development (GLSL, HLSL, CG)

*Programming/scripting background

*Animation skills

*Familiarity with game engines (Unity, Unreal, Crytek)

*That you are freaking hilarious (or at least that you think you are)

You will be helping us build our own product, testing it from a design perspective, being a part of our tool chain and content creation. You will get to influence product development, work with international customers, and create state of the art applications which are used in actual production of fast cars and cool consumer electronics. 3D UI stuff is relatively new, an industry which we are essentially creating. Joining our team gives you the opportunity to help define what the world will see in the coming years in UI, everywhere!

What say you? Sound like some fun? We have around 55 employees, who genuinely enjoy coming to work every day. Our office is located at the Trainer’s House campus, meaning we have cool neighbors, a couple different gyms in the basement, a recording studio, a couple saunas, a phenomenal Rafla, a PS4 in our lobby, a bunch of other toys, etc. Come and learn, come and grow, come and create!
