At Baykar, the pioneering force of the National Technology Initiative; we develop indigenous and national high-technology Unmanned Aerial Vehicle systems and create global impact with proven platforms. With our end-to-end engineering approach from R&D to production, we continue to deliver projects that push boundaries.

Our Unit:

Operating under the Corporate Communications Department, the Visual Communication and Design Team is responsible for protecting, developing, and adding value to the company’s brand identity. The team manages and develops visual content processes across various design disciplines, including fairs, organizations, events, digital content, print design, and corporate communication projects, ensuring that all outputs are delivered in line with corporate standards.

Purpose of the Position:

The main purpose of this position is to manage end-to-end design needs for product promotion, concept development, mission infographics, fair and event content, motion graphics, and animation across national and international projects of Baykar, Piaggio Aerospace, and related group companies, with a fast, analytical, and technically accurate production approach. The candidate is expected to have a strong understanding of model architecture in projects related to defense technologies, aircraft, mission systems, and concept scenarios. They should be able to independently, quickly, and professionally manage hard-surface modeling, UV mapping, texturing, materials, lighting, camera setup, rendering, and animation processes.

What Awaits You:

• Interpreting CAD-based engineering data for 3D visualization workflows; converting models in STEP, IGES, STL, or similar formats into polygon-based structures, editing and optimizing them,
• Modeling aircraft, stands, totems, exhibition elements, and industrial design objects within hard-surface modeling workflows while staying aligned with references,
• Applying technical requirements correctly in polygon modeling processes, including topology, edge flow, subdivision surfaces, bevels, smoothing, normal editing, and mesh cleanup,
• Creating either performance-oriented or highly detailed models depending on low-poly and high-poly production needs,
• Managing UV mapping, texturing, material editing, and, when necessary, baking processes in line with the production/rendering workflow,
• Independently carrying out scene setup, camera, lighting, rendering, and animation work for products, systems, and mission scenarios,
• Integrating 3D render and animation outputs at a basic level with After Effects, Premiere Pro, or similar software to turn them into short promotional films, mission narratives, infographics, product presentations, or digital content formats.

General Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication Design, Industrial Design, Digital Game Design, Cartoon and Animation, Architecture, or a related field,
• Minimum 5 years of experience in 3D modeling, hard-surface modeling, product visualization, or technical animation, supported by a strong portfolio,
• Advanced proficiency in one or more 3D modeling software such as 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, or Blender,
• Ability to produce professional visual outputs using at least one render engine such as KeyShot, V-Ray, Redshift, Arnold, Corona, Octane, or similar,
• Ability to use Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro at a level sufficient to make basic edits to 3D render and animation outputs and convert them into motion graphics or video content,
• Preferably basic knowledge of Unreal Engine or similar real-time visualization engines,
• Ability to analyze technical and aesthetic problems and develop solutions,
• Strong planning, presentation, and project tracking skills,
• Detail-oriented, responsible, and strong in time management,
• Able to handle a fast-paced work environment with flexible hours and manage stress effectively.
