Panic Stations is seeking a Senior 3D Generalist / Tech Artist for a 1-month contract role with potential to extend. You’ll work on a fun, vibrant co-op game, championing art production by touching most art assets and owning the end-to-end pipeline from creation to engine integration.

What You'll Do

Create game-ready art assets including characters, environments, props, modular kit pieces, and procedural art.
Work autonomously from high-level art direction, focusing on core elements for rapid output.
Express the humor and character of the game through your art.
Collaborate closely with design and engineering teams, as art is systemic.
Join playtests and contribute to decisions beyond art.
Identify risks and constraints early and redirect effort when needed.
Be proactive to keep project momentum, even when blocked or waiting for feedback.
Own asset integration and workflow inside the engine from start to finish.
Build practical systems, including modular kits, materials, prefabs, folders, and naming conventions.
Spot inefficiencies and offer better technical solutions.
Keep scenes performant without sacrificing the game's creative vision.

What We're Looking For

Senior-level skill and professional experience.
Comfortable working autonomously with high-level direction, championing your area of responsibility.
Able to build real-time procedural, destructible, and dynamic materials and meshes directly in-engine.
A broad artistic and technical skillset covering Characters, Environments, and Props.
Proficient with Unity, specifically asset implementation, lighting, shaders, and materials.
Comfortable in Blender or able to transition quickly.
Happy to prioritize speed and efficiency over polish with a 'good enough' mindset focused on the player experience.
Understanding of how to support optimization and performance for online multiplayer titles from a technical art perspective.
