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 are looking for people who want to do work that matters. 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.
We value precision over polish, reliability over heroics, and clear communication over everything else. If you do excellent work, meet your deadlines, and communicate proactively when problems arise, you will do well here.

You will create anatomical illustrations, surgical procedure visualizations, mechanism-of-injury graphics, and medical education diagrams for litigation. Your work helps juries understand what happened inside the human body — why an injury occurred, what the surgery involved, and what the long-term consequences are.
What we need: demonstrable skill in medical and anatomical illustration, comfort working from medical records, operative reports, and diagnostic imaging, ability to work with medical experts and incorporate their feedback accurately, and a portfolio that shows clear, accurate, litigation-appropriate medical art — not textbook illustration, not editorial illustration, but visual communication designed to teach a lay audience.
Familiarity with litigation workflows and evidentiary requirements is a plus but not required. We will teach you the legal side.

You will create 3D accident reconstructions, product failure animations, construction sequence visualizations, and technical process animations for trial. Your work shows juries events they did not witness — collisions, structural failures, mechanical processes — built from physical evidence and expert analysis.
What we need: strong 3D modeling and animation skills (Maya, Blender, Cinema 4D, or 3ds Max), experience with rigid body dynamics and physically plausible motion, ability to work from technical inputs (LiDAR point clouds, engineering drawings, measurements, photogrammetry data), and a reel that shows technical accuracy and clarity — not cinematic effects.
You should be comfortable working under deadline pressure. Trial dates do not move, and the animation must be done, tested, and delivered before the courtroom opens.

You will build and improve our AI-powered document review and analysis platform. This system processes litigation document sets — from thousands to millions of pages — applying custom logic, case-specific taxonomies, and attorney-defined review criteria.
What we need: strong experience with large language models (prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG architectures, evaluation frameworks), understanding of document parsing and extraction (OCR, PDF processing, structured and unstructured text), ability to build reliable systems — our platform’s value proposition is that it does not hallucinate, does not fabricate citations, and clearly signals when it is uncertain. If you have worked on reducing LLM hallucination and improving factual grounding, that experience is directly relevant.
Legal domain knowledge is a significant plus. If you understand discovery, privilege review, document coding, or e-discovery workflows, you will ramp up faster. But strong ML engineering with a commitment to building trustworthy systems is the primary requirement.
Irvine, CA or Travel-Based · Full-time or Contract
You will operate courtroom presentation technology during trial — managing exhibits, animations, and demonstrative materials in real time as attorneys examine witnesses and deliver arguments. You are the person at the laptop making sure the right visual appears at the right moment.
What we need: experience with trial presentation software (TrialDirector, OnCue, Sanction, or similar), composure under pressure — trials are live, mistakes are visible, and there are no retakes, technical troubleshooting ability for AV systems, projectors, monitors, and courtroom technology, and willingness to travel to courthouses nationwide on short notice.
You must be organized, fast, and unflappable. Attorneys rely on the hot seat operator to execute their visual strategy in real time. If the animation does not play when the expert is mid-sentence, the moment is lost.
Prior litigation support or trial technology experience is strongly preferred.
