Apollo Technical has an immediate need for a Product Visualization Specialist in the Atlanta, GA area

We are seeking a skilled KeyShot Product Visualization Specialist to support our product rendering and motion animation needs across product development, sales, and marketing teams.

In this role, you will be responsible for creating polished KeyShot scenes, still renderings, and motion-based product animations from provided CAD models. Your work will play a vital role in communicating product features, functionality, movement, installation, assembly, and overall design intent to both internal and external stakeholders.

The ideal candidate is confident working with CAD-based product models, comfortable building KeyShot scenes from scratch, and capable of producing clear, professional motion renders with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• Scene & Asset Creation: Create high-quality KeyShot scenes from provided CAD models (including SolidWorks, STEP, Parasolid, or similar file formats).

• Render Optimization: Own the full render setup process, from initial CAD import through to the final output. Apply materials, textures, labels, decals, lighting, environments, cameras, and optimized render settings.

• Still Renderings: Produce high-quality, still product renderings for use in product development, sales collateral, marketing assets, and internal presentations.

• Motion Animation: Create dynamic KeyShot motion renders, including turntables, camera moves, exploded views, part movement, assembly sequences, product-use animations, and feature demonstrations.

• Functional Storytelling: Develop animations that clearly and intuitively explain how a product moves, installs, assembles, or functions.

• Brand Consistency: Maintain a cohesive and consistent visual style across multiple projects and product lines.

• Collaboration & Workflow: Revise renderings and animations based on team feedback. Organize working files, packaged KeyShot files, render outputs, and project folders.

• Project Management: Clearly communicate project status, estimated lead times, file requirements, potential blockers, and completion timelines.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Software Mastery: Strong working knowledge of KeyShot, including the ability to build complex scenes from scratch using raw CAD files.

• Animation Capabilities: Proven ability to create seamless KeyShot motion renders.

• Rendering Fundamentals: Deep understanding of materials, lighting, cameras, composition, scale, and render quality optimization.

• Motion Principles: Basic understanding of animation timelines, camera movement, part movement, and motion sequencing.

• Technical Literacy: Ability to comfortably work with mechanical, industrial, or manufactured product models.

• Professional Attributes: Strong attention to detail, exceptional file organization, and the ability to follow direction while taking proactive ownership of the visual output.

Preferred Skills

• CAD Workflow Integration: Experience with SolidWorks, STEP files, Parasolid files, or other CAD-based asset workflows.

• Advanced KeyShot Features: Proven experience creating product turntables, exploded views, assembly animations, feature callouts, and intricate camera animations.

• Industrial Domain Knowledge: Experience rendering industrial products, hardware, marine products, outdoor gear, safety products, mechanical assemblies, or manufactured goods.

• Post-Processing: Basic proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or other post-processing software.

• Material Expertise: Familiarity with accurately rendering materials such as aluminum, steel, zinc plating, powder coating, plastics, rubber, vinyl, webbing, labels, decals, and various hardware finishes.
