    • Capture high-quality 2D scans of materials and textures.
    • Maintain and troubleshoot scanning studio equipment and hardware.
    • Contribute to the development of internal tools and pipelines by researching and evaluating new technologies and workflows.
    • Lend support to the Boston Motion Capture team with on-stage activities as needed.
  • Qualifications

    • Deep attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality scan data.
    • Flexibility and an open-minded approach to problem-solving.
    • Openness to feedback, continuous learning, and knowledge sharing with teammates.

    Nice to have
