Overview:

• Develop a tool that scans Unreal Engine projects to detect and report asset inconsistencies to ensure a unified and clean pipeline.
• Focus on common asset issues such as incorrect texel density, naming convention violations, wrong material setups, missing collisions and missing LODs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Implement texel density analysis and provide automated correction suggestions or guidance for artists.
• Create validators for naming and folder structure conventions and generate actionable reports for remediation.
• Detect missing LODs, missing collisions, material mismatches and other asset problems and produce recommended fixes.
• Integrate automated reporting (logs, CSV/JSON/exported reports) and optionally in-editor notifications.

Technical Requirements & Deliverables:

• Build the solution as Editor Utility Tools / an Unreal Editor plugin compatible with Unreal Engine 5.
• Use Python for tooling/scripting and integrate with Unreal's editor scripting or automation systems.
• Optionally leverage Machine Learning APIs for advanced anomaly detection or classification of asset issues.
• Deliver a working tool/plugin, example reports, usage documentation and a short integration guide for artists/technical artists.

Candidate Profile:

• Background in game development, technical art, computer graphics or software engineering; experience with Unreal Engine (UE5) is required.
• Experience with Python scripting, Editor Utility Widgets/Editor scripting in Unreal, and familiarity with asset pipelines (LODs, collisions, materials, texel density).
• Familiarity with naming conventions, folder structure best practices and basic machine learning APIs is a plus.

Application:

• To apply, send your CV, portfolio or examples of relevant work and a short motivation email to recruitment@lanterns-studios.com .
• Use the email subject: "Application — Automated Asset Consistency Validator for Unreal Engine PFE" and mention expected availability and preferred start date.
