We’re hiring a Senior 3D Applications Engineer to lead the development of immersive, web-based 3D tools for product visualization and configuration. This role is entirely front-end focused, with an emphasis on building performant, intuitive 3D viewer experiences using React, TypeScript, and Three.js. You’ll help shape the future of enterprise PLM workflows by designing dynamic, collaborative interfaces that replace static 2D design tools.

Key Responsibilities

3D Viewer Development

Build modular, scalable 3D web applications using React, TypeScript, Three.js, and MobX
Implement camera controls, lighting presets, annotations, and snapshot generation
Optimize rendering performance for large assets and complex scenes
Design reusable UI components and interaction patterns for 3D environments

Asset Pipeline Integration

Ingest and render GLB/GLTF assets with support for PBR textures, material variants, and avatars
Use client-side tools like JSZip, FBXLoader, and gltf-transform for asset optimization

UI/UX Enhancements

Collaborate with design and product teams to improve viewer usability and interactivity
Develop configuration layers for colorways, trims, and materials mapped to PLM data
Contribute to roadmap features like environment presets, variant-aware commenting, and snapshot templates

Debugging & Performance

Use browser-based tools like WebGL Inspector and Spector.js to profile and refine rendering
Ensure high responsiveness and visual fidelity across devices and browser

Experience

5+ years of front-end development with React and TypeScript
2+ years building production-grade 3D applications with Three.js
Background in gaming, fashion tech, interactive marketing, or 3D startups is a plus

Technical Skills

Strong understanding of rendering pipelines, shaders, and custom materials
Expertise in GLTF/GLB formats, UV mapping, texture atlases, and PBR workflows
Familiarity with authoring tools like Blender, CLO3D, or 3ds Max
