Freelance · Remote, Colombia · Up to 1,000 USD/month · Starting October/November 2026

We're based in Switzerland. We build irrigation, water treatment, post-harvest and disinfection systems for horticulture and indoor farming, along with the IoT hardware that monitors them. Our customers are commercial flower and produce growers, mostly in Latin America.

We need someone to render all of it properly.

This is a freelance engagement for a junior 3D designer working in Blender, based in Colombia. You'd produce product renders and short technical animations from our CAD, working to a written brief and art direction from us.

THE WORK

Two quite different subjects, and you'd move between them.

The machinery. Skid-mounted irrigation and water treatment units, post-harvest and disinfection equipment. Pumps, filter banks, tanks, valves and pipework on a frame. These are large, they're mostly stainless steel and plastic, and they arrive as heavy assemblies with a lot of parts in them. Knowing what to keep, what to strip out and how to keep a scene workable matters more here than it sounds.

The components. I/O modules, sensors and controllers from our IoT line. Small objects shot close, with curved moulded housings and continuous surfaces rather than flat panels. Surface quality carries the whole image.

Short technical animations. Turntables to start with, then flow and assembly sequences showing how a system works and how it goes together.

We supply STEP files from our CAD. Almost no branding work: occasionally a logo on a flat face, but no screen content and no complex decal work.

You'd start on single parts and small assemblies. The full skids come later, once the work suits both sides.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Lighting and material judgement, above everything else. We'd rather hire someone with excellent instincts and no CAD experience than someone with broad, shallow exposure and flat renders. Lighting judgement takes years to build. CAD import takes weeks.

In practice that means

- A portfolio with real hard-surface or product work in it.



One honest piece beats ten tutorial reproductions.
- Stainless steel, or anything else strongly reflective, somewhere in your work. Most of what we make is brushed or polished metal, which means it's almost entirely reflection and can't be lit in an empty grey void. If you've solved that problem before, show us.
- Curved surfaces where a highlight has to travel cleanly: a car body, an appliance, a moulded housing. That's the closest thing to our smaller components.
- Evidence you've finished something for someone else and hit a date.

CAD experience isn't a requirement. Most junior designers have never opened a STEP file, and we expect to supervise that part of the work while you learn it. What we do want is honesty about where you are with it. If you've never touched engineering geometry, say so.

WHAT WE DON'T NEED

Character art, creature work, fantasy environments, motion graphics reels cut to music. None of it counts against you, but none of it tells us anything either.

TERMS

Up to 1,000 USD per month depending on experience, on a freelance contract you invoice monthly. We expect this to be close to full-time and to be your main engagement rather than occasional overflow work.

You need to be based in Colombia, working remotely, with professional written English. Briefs, references and feedback arrive in writing. You don't need to sound native, but you do need to read a spec closely and come back with precise questions.

HOW IT WORKS A portfolio call first: 45 minutes, screen share, you drive. Then a paid trial at a pro-rated rate, one product render plus a ten-second turntable from a STEP file we supply. It's real work on a real part, and the decision mostly rests on it.

TO APPLY

Apply through LinkedIn with your CV, and put a link to your portfolio, showreel or ArtStation in it. We won't assess a CV without one.

If you worked on something collaboratively, say which parts were yours. We'd much rather know.

In English, please. No need to message us separately: we screen everything that comes through LinkedIn and will get in touch with the people we want to talk to.
