TECH ART INTERN

What You'll Do

We are looking for a Technical Art Intern to join the Rocket League team. You will sit between our artists and engineers: building tools that speed up how content gets into the build, authoring real-time materials, and profiling scenes so the game holds frame rate everywhere from mobile to high-refresh PC. You will have an impact on real work that ships into playable builds.

In this role, you will

• Build small pipeline tools and scripts (Python, UEFN/Verse, DCC scripting APIs) that automate repetitive steps for arena, vehicle, and cosmetics artists

• Profile arenas and assets in engine, then help fix what you find: draw calls, overdraw, texture memory, LODs, and vertex budgets

• Author and iterate on real-time materials and shaders for signature Rocket League surfaces

• Take assets from Maya, Blender, or Substance through to an optimized, working setup in engine and validate them in a playable build

• Work directly with technical artists, rendering engineers, and environment artists to unblock issues and document what you learn

• Show your work in art reviews and playt
