• Develop an original design language that seamlessly integrates interiors, structures, graphics, and theming, from concept to engineered detail drawings for fabrication.
• Assist Roto’s production department in the physical construction, fabrication, assembly, and installation of the exhibits you design.
• Collaborate with Roto’s immersive media department to implement highly imaginative, interactive technology-based experiences, including those using gesture sensing, VR/AR, AI, and other leading technologies.
