Overview

Work That Matters

California Technical Media is a litigation graphics and visual strategy firm serving trial attorneys nationwide. We create demonstrative evidence — animations, reconstructions, medical illustrations, data visualizations, and AI-powered document analysis tools — for high-stakes litigation. We also produce medical and device animations for medical device companies.

Our visuals help juries understand complex injuries, see accident reconstructions built from physical evidence, and follow technical arguments that would otherwise be impenetrable. The work is demanding, deadline-driven, and directly connected to real outcomes for real people.

If you do excellent work, meet your deadlines, and communicate proactively when problems arise, you will do well here.

Open Positions

Four Roles

Each role works directly with attorneys and expert witnesses. Litigation experience helps; where it isn’t required, we teach the legal side.

Role 01

Medical Illustrator

Remote or Irvine, CA·Full-time or contract

Show a jury what happened inside the human body — why an injury occurred, what the surgery involved, and what the long-term consequences are.

SendResume, portfolio (link or PDF), and a short note on why this role interests you.
Apply for this role

The work

  • Anatomical illustrations and medical education diagrams
  • Surgical procedure visualizations built from operative reports
  • Mechanism-of-injury graphics: how the force produced the injury
  • Before/after and long-term-consequence comparisons
  • Revisions from the medical expert’s review
Works from
Medical recordsOperative reportsDiagnostic imagingExpert feedback

What we need

  • Demonstrable skill in medical and anatomical illustration
  • Comfort working from medical records, operative reports, and imaging
  • Ability to take expert feedback and incorporate it accurately
  • A portfolio of clear, accurate art that teaches a lay audience — not textbook, not editorial illustration
Not required: litigation workflows and evidentiary requirements. We will teach you the legal side.
Role 02

3D Animator Litigation & Technical

Remote or Irvine, CA·Full-time or contract

Show juries events they did not witness — collisions, structural failures, mechanical processes — built from physical evidence and expert analysis.

SendResume, reel link with a shot-by-shot note of what you did, and a short note on why this role interests you.
Apply for this role

The work

  • 3D accident reconstructions from physical evidence
  • Product failure animations
  • Construction sequence visualizations
  • Technical process animations for trial and technology tutorials
  • Medical device animations: how a device works and how it fails
Works from
LiDAR point cloudsEngineering drawingsMeasurementsPhotogrammetry

What we need

  • Strong 3D modeling and animation skills
  • Rigid body dynamics and physically plausible motion
  • Ability to build scenes from technical inputs, not from reference photos alone
  • A reel that shows technical accuracy and clarity — not cinematic effects

Role 03

AI / LLM Engineer Legal Document Processing

Remote or Irvine, CA·Full-time or contract

Build and improve our AI-powered document review and analysis platform. Its value proposition is that it does not hallucinate, does not fabricate citations, and clearly signals when it is uncertain.

SendResume, a link to code or a write-up of a system you built — ideally one where you measured and reduced hallucination — and a short note.
Apply for this role

The work

  • Processing litigation document sets from thousands to millions of pages
  • Applying custom logic, case-specific taxonomies, and attorney-defined review criteria
  • Grounding every output in the source document, with checkable citations
  • Signalling uncertainty instead of guessing
  • Evaluating accuracy against real review tasks
Works from
Scanned & native PDFsStructured & unstructured textReview protocols

What we need

  • Strong experience with large language models: prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG architectures, evaluation frameworks
  • Document parsing and extraction: OCR, PDF processing, structured and unstructured text
  • A record of building reliable systems — work on reducing hallucination and improving factual grounding is directly relevant
Significant plus: discovery, privilege review, document coding, or e-discovery workflows. Strong ML engineering with a commitment to trustworthy systems is the primary requirement.
Role 04

Hot Seat Operator Trial Technology Specialist

Irvine, CA or travel-based·Full-time or contract

You are the person at the laptop making sure the right visual appears at the right moment. If the animation does not play when the expert is mid-sentence, the moment is lost.

SendResume, a list of trials or hearings you have supported (length, venue type, software used), and a short note.
Apply for this role

The work

  • Run exhibits, animations, and demonstratives live during witness examinations and arguments
  • Organize exhibits and demonstratives before trial so any item can be called up instantly
  • Set up and troubleshoot courtroom AV: projectors, monitors, connections
  • Travel to courthouses nationwide, often on short notice
Software
TrialDirectorOnCueSanctionor similar

What we need

  • Experience with trial presentation software
  • Composure under pressure — trials are live, mistakes are visible, and there are no retakes
  • Technical troubleshooting for AV systems and courtroom technology
  • Organized, fast, and unflappable
  • Willingness to travel on short notice
Strongly preferred: prior litigation support or trial technology experience.
