Your Responsibilities:

• Create animations that follow the visual language defined by the Animation Director and respect game design constraints.

• Adjust data with great precision due to our game engine’s requirements, demanding close attention to detail.
• Export and integrate your animations according to technical guidelines, collaborating with the Technical Director or Technical Animator, designers, and programmers.
• Test and iterate your systems directly in the game.
• Work closely with fellow animators, the Animation Director, programmers, and designers to deliver your system on time and at the expected quality level.
• Be responsible for the final in-game feel of your work: this is how we validate animation quality.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in video game animation.
• A sharp eye for detail and visual quality.
• An open and collaborative attitude, able to find compromises to solve complex problems.
• Constant motivation and pride in delivering high-quality work.

• Passion for teamwork and sharing ideas in a creative environment.
• Mandatory experience in 3C animation and building first-person (FPS) animation systems.
• Proficiency in mocap data processing.
• Knowledge of MotionBuilder (an asset).
• Experience on a published AAA title (a plus).

• Ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment and respect artistic and technical visions.
