Sr. Technical Content Creator, Energy Technical Content
About the role
What to Expect
The Energy Technical Content team creates and manages a wide variety of technical documents, illustrations, videos, and animations that support key stakeholders across Energy Storage, Charging, and Solar.
The team is seeking a senior content creator to own modeling, animation, and visualization for technical content. This is a hands-on role: you will take CAD, photos, and loose design guidance and turn them into accurate, production-ready 3D assets, animations, and motion graphics. You will also help the video pipeline — editing, graphics, and occasional shooting — so 3D and live-action ship as one coherent story. 3D is the primary craft; video is a regular supporting responsibility, not a side hobby.
What You’ll Do
- Model, texture, light, and animate 3D assets from CAD, photography, and design reference to produce technical visualizations, exploded views, and product animations
- Build efficient assets in Blender (3DS Max or Unreal) — simplifying complex CAD, re-topologizing, UV mapping, surfacing, and rendering for video, documentation, and training
- Create motion graphics and 3D sequences that explain systems, procedures, and product behavior across Energy Storage, Charging, and Solar
- Render, composite, and deliver 3D as finished technical video, from storyboard through final output
- Operate cameras to capture technical footage on site and in studio — framing, exposure, lighting, and audio for product, procedure, and facility shoots
- Support the video team with editing, graphics, and post-production (Premiere Pro, and After Effects) plus partner with technical writers, designers, and subject matter experts to translate engineering intent into clear visual storytelling
- Apply AI tools and workflows across 3D, image, and video production — asset cleanup, lookdev, rotoscoping, transcription, draft generation, and other tasks that shorten the path from reference to shippable content
- Evaluate new AI tools, standardize what works, and document workflows the rest of the team can reuse
- Own 3D workflows, asset libraries, and quality standards; document how work is built and review contributions in your space
What You’ll Bring
- Degree in 3D, Animation, Industrial Design, Film/Video, or equivalent experience
- Strong portfolio as a 3D generalist: modeling, texturing, lighting, animation, and rendered output — technical/product visualization and motion graphics
- Proficiency in Blender, 3ds Max or Unreal Engine; Blender strongly preferred
- Experience simplifying CAD or engineering data for visualization (retopo, UVs, lookdev)
- Working proficiency in video editing and motion graphics (Premiere Pro, and After Effects)
- Experience filming or supporting production is a plus; shooting is occasional, not the core of the role
- Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable working with engineers and SMEs
- Fast learner who thrives in a fast-paced, changing environment
- An eye for accuracy, clarity, and polish in technical visual work
