AR/VR Development Designer
CBS News and Stations, New York, NY, United States
The AR/VR Development Designer is a hands‑on creative promoting how storytelling shows up in real time.
You’re not just building scenes. You’re shaping how stories are experienced.
Key Responsibilities
Design and execute ARVR environments in Unreal Engine and Cinema 4D
Take a concept and produce it — lighting, materials, motion, camera
Create scenes that feel intentional, not overdesigned, or cluttered
Optimize everything for real‑time performance and broadcast reliability
Know when to push—and when to simplify
Make It About the Story
Work directly with producers to translate editorial ideas into visual space
Design with clarity first — what’s the story, what matters, what doesn’t
Avoid “3D clip art”—everything on screen should have a reason to exist
Help evolve how we use ARVR so it enhances coverage
Collaborate Without Overcomplicating
Work closely with the ARVR Project Manager and creative leads to move fast and stay aligned
Be clear about what’s possible, what’s not, and what’s worth doing
Take feedback, iterate quickly, and keep things moving
Support both News and Sales without losing design integrity
Push the Look Forward
Bring a contemporary design sensibility—clean, intentional, current
Explore new techniques, workflows, and visual approaches
Help define what ARVR should look like across CBS Stations—not just execute it
Contribute to reusable assets and systems that scale across markets
Qualifications & Skills
Strong design background—motion, 3D, broadcast, experiential, or similar
Solid Unreal Engine experience (real‑time scene building is core to this role)
Proficiency in Cinema 4D and Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator)
Good instincts for lighting, composition, typography, and motion
Understanding of real‑time constraints—performance matters
Ability to work fast, stay organized, and handle multiple projects at once
Comfortable working with both creatives and non‑creatives
What Sets You Apart
You know when less is more (and when it’s not!)
You’re curious about the tech, but not distracted by it
You care about the story as much as the visuals
You want to make the experience in ARVR better—not just maintain it
