About Us:

We work at the cutting edge of accurate digital twin simulation for smart systems — Imagine Fortnite but with robots and humans! With Falcon, Duality’s digital twin simulation platform, users build physically and visually accurate 3D worlds where autonomous robots and human participants can engage in real time, producing high fidelity perception and interaction data. Our customers leverage Falcon to train and test off-road autonomous machines, deploy robotic fleets in modern logistics environments, and even safely and economically explore the potential of generative AI in our physical world. Today’s leading robotics, AI, and autonomy teams trust Falcon to help them develop safe, predictable, and resilient intelligent systems.Headquartered in San Mateo, California, Duality is a global company with locations across the US, Italy and India.Opportunity:

Are you passionate about creating photorealistic worlds and eager to learn? Duality AI is offering an exciting apprenticeship opportunity for aspiring 3D and technical artists. Join our incredible multi-disciplinary team and embark on a journey where your primary focus is on learning, growth, and skill development.As an apprentice, you will work alongside experienced professionals, gaining hands-on experience in crafting digital twins of physical environments, products, and systems. These digital twins are essential for simulating the behavior of autonomous agents (like warehouse robots) and generating high-quality synthetic data for machine learning pipelines.At Duality AI, we believe in the transformative potential of digital twin simulation — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to blur the lines between the physical and virtual worlds. As part of our team, you will grow your skills in this cutting-edge field, contributing to the future of digital twin technology.This apprenticeship is designed to foster your growth as a 3D and technical artist, providing you with the tools, knowledge, and mentorship needed to excel in the industry.The apprenticeship program lasts 6-12 months, offering you mentorship and the chance to significantly develop your skills as a 3D and technical artist. Throughout the program, your progress will be evaluated across key skill areas and discussed with you on an ongoing basis. Upon successful completion, you will be in consideration to interview for a full-time junior 3D & technical artist position within our team. If you're ready to take the next step in your creative career, we want to hear from you.Responsibilities:
