UI Designer Jobs in New Jersey

Graphic Designer / 3D Visualization Designer

Hydrapeak

Hydrapeak is seeking a highly organized, creative, and technically skilled Graphic Designer / 3D Visualization Designer to support our sales, product development, and merchandising teams.

This role will be responsible for maintaining and expanding our existing Blender-based product visualization system, creating fast and accurate product renders, developing visual concepts, and producing polished sales materials for buyers and retail presentations.

The ideal candidate is someone who combines a strong graphic design eye with advanced Blender skills and the ability to work quickly in a fast-paced consumer-products environment.

What You’ll Do

You will become the primary internal resource for product visualization and sales support.

Responsibilities include:

• Receive 3D product models from factories and prepare them for use within our existing Blender library.
• Add, organize, and maintain new product models within our established Blender system.
• Build and maintain reusable materials, textures, lighting setups, cameras, and rendering templates.
• Create product renders across multiple colors, finishes, materials, and configurations.
• Quickly produce colorway concepts and visual mockups for new product ideas.
• Expand and improve our existing Blender setup as new products, categories, and rendering needs are introduced.
• Maintain consistency in product scale, lighting, perspective, color, and presentation across all renders.
• Create realistic and polished product imagery for buyer presentations and internal review.
• Build product decks and assortment presentations for sales teams and retail buyers.
• Develop sell sheets, product presentations, concept boards, and other sales-support materials.
• Create fast visual mockups when sales, product development, or management needs to communicate a new idea.
• Support salespeople with presentation materials and product visuals for retailer meetings.
• Apply new colors, finishes, artwork, patterns, and product concepts to existing models.
• Maintain and expand our digital asset library, including 3D models, renders, product images, artwork, color references, and presentation files.
• Follow consistent naming conventions, folder structures, version control, and asset-management standards.
• Work closely with product development, sales, packaging, and management to prioritize and execute requests.
• Manage multiple requests simultaneously while maintaining quality and accuracy.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a designer who is both creative and extremely efficient.

The ideal candidate should have:

• Strong proficiency in Blender.
• Experience working with imported 3D models provided by factories, engineers, or outside vendors.
• Strong understanding of materials, textures, lighting, cameras, and rendering.
• Ability to create realistic consumer-product renders.
• Strong Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop skills.
• Strong graphic design skills with a good understanding of layout, composition, typography, and visual hierarchy.
• A strong sense of color, color combinations, finishes, and trend direction.
• Ability to create visually appealing product colorways and assortments.
• Ability to create polished buyer presentations, sell sheets, and sales materials.
• Excellent organizational skills.
• Experience managing large libraries of design assets and product files.
• Strong file-management discipline, including naming conventions, folders, versioning, and asset organization.
• Ability to work quickly and efficiently without sacrificing accuracy.
• Ability to manage multiple urgent requests and shifting priorities.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills.
• Ability to take a rough idea or verbal direction and quickly turn it into a clear visual concept.

Speed and Organization Are Critical

This is a fast-paced role that supports multiple departments.

Salespeople may need a new colorway, sell sheet, buyer deck, or concept mockup on short notice. The designer must be comfortable receiving frequent requests and turning them around quickly.

Strong organizational skills are equally important.

Hydrapeak has an established library of 3D models, renders, colors, assets, and product files. The person in this role will be responsible for maintaining that system and ensuring that assets remain easy to locate, reuse, and update.

We are looking for someone who understands that a strong creative department is not only about producing good design — it is also about creating systems that allow the company to move faster.
