Job Description

Frankfurt / Berlin

We are INNOCEAN Europe. A marketing and communications network that combines pan-European collaboration with local expertise and execution. Inspired by a challenger spirit, we create work that moves brands forward --- across channels, markets, and moments that matter.

To strengthen our team, we are looking for you to join us as a CGI Artist -- Product Accuracy (all genders).

As a mid to senior CGI Artist, you are the guardian of product correctness. You turn technical data into stunning, photoreal visuals --- without ever compromising the truth of the product. From geometry and options to materials, colors, and badges: if it's in the render, it must be real.

What You´ll Do

  • Own product accuracy end-to-end across stills and motion --- from CAD intake to final delivery.
  • Closely working with the AI Department, driving new approaches.
  • Build and maintain "golden master" assets (models, trims, wheels, interiors, materials, option packs) with clean versioning.
  • Translate CAD/engineering data into render-ready assets while preserving proportions, surfacing integrity, and real-world detail.
  • Create physically plausible shaders and materials with a strong focus on paint accuracy, plastics, metals, glass, textiles, and leather.
  • Set up lighting and render scenarios that match brand standards and real-world behavior --- studio, location, plate-match, day/night.
  • Work closely with Art Direction, Creative, Retouching/Compositing, AI Prompters and client stakeholders to manage reviews and approvals.
  • Develop and apply QA checklists (geometry, badges, part lines, options, legal/claims, color, reflections, camera lenses).
  • Troubleshoot fast, document decisions, and keep production moving --- even when the product data changes last minute.
  • Contribute to pipeline improvements (templates, automation, libraries, naming conventions) and mentor junior artists.

What You Bring

  • 4--8 years of experience in CGI / 3D product visualization (agency, studio, or in-house), ideally automotive or highly regulated products.
  • A proven track record of delivering pixel-perfect, product-correct visuals --- not just pretty images.
  • Strong understanding of CAD-to-DCC workflows, cleanup, UVs, shading, lighting, rendering, and optimization.
  • Confidence with common toolsets (e.g., 3ds Max/Maya/C4D/Blender V-Ray/Arnold/Redshift), plus Substance workflows.
  • Solid compositing sensibility (Photoshop/After Effects and/or Nuke) and a clean handover mindset.
  • Comfortable working with brand guidelines, confidentiality, and pre-launch products under tight timelines.
  • A structured, proactive way of working, strong communication skills, and a collaborative mindset.
  • Fluent English (German or other European languages are a plus, not a must).
  • Portfolio required (please include work that demonstrates product accuracy, plus breakdowns where possible).

Nice to have:

  • real-time workflows (Unreal)
  • ACES/OCIO color management
  • Python/Maxscript automation
  • photogrammetry/scan cleanup
  • render farm experience

What We Offer You

  • 🌍 International and inclusive team: Work with colleagues from all over the world in a pleasant and supportive environment.
  • 🍽️ Meal vouchers: Enjoy subsidized lunches thanks to our meal voucher program.
  • 📚 Growth & Development: Training and opportunities to develop professionally and personally.
  • 🏠 Flexible hybrid work: A setup that supports your work-life balance.
  • 🐶 Pet-friendly office: Bring your four-legged friends with you --- we welcome their visit!
  • ✈️ Remote work abroad: Work from another country for up to two weeks per year.
  • 🏢 Modern workplace: Ergonomic equipment and first-class infrastructure to help you do your best work.
  • 🍏 Wellness & perks: Fresh fruit, corporate benefits platform, gym support, and a mental health & well-being app subscription.

In Short

We offer you a work environment where you can grow and make an impact --- with the trust, craft standards, and international energy to do outstanding work. If you'd like to become part of a highly collaborative team and raise the bar for product-correct CGI, we'd love to hear from you.
