Architectural Designer

Mercor is seeking experienced Blender Tool experts to join a cutting-edge AI research project in partnership with a leading research lab. This role centers on evaluating how effectively a large language model (LLM) assists in 3D modeling, animation, and rendering tasks using Blender, and on developing high-quality Blender projects to train and improve the model’s performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Evaluate the quality and accuracy of LLM-assisted Blender modeling, animation, or scene setup outputs.
• Rebuild or enhance Blender projects to validate and benchmark LLM-generated work.
• Identify and address limitations in automated 3D workflows, collaborating closely with AI researchers.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to modeling, rigging, shading, and rendering.
• Document evaluation results and provide detailed feedback to improve future model performance.

You’re a strong fit if you have:

• Solid hands-on experience with Blender for 3D modeling, animation, or scene creation.
• Deep understanding of Blender’s tools, workflows, and node systems (e.g., geometry nodes, shader nodes).
• Familiarity with Python scripting in Blender or experience with procedural workflows (a plus).
• Interest in AI/LLM-assisted creative tooling (preferred but not required).
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently.
• Clear communication skills and experience in distributed, remote teams.

Role Details:

• Part-time with fully flexible hours.
• 100% remote and asynchronous—work at your convenience.

Compensation & Legal:

• Hourly contractor role via Mercor.
• Payments processed weekly through Stripe Connect.

Note:

Only candidates who have access to a Mac system and are available to work with it for the project will be considered, as the tooling you would be working with is only Mac-compatible
