This position is onsite from one of our EA offices in Canada, and it offers an opportunity for remote work. Otherwise, you will report to our Generative AI research vector leader.

Bring new ideas, discuss, and implement solutions to some of the most complex video game animation challenges to create differentiation for EA
Research novel animation technology, and applications for real-time use cases in games and game development pipelines.
Build demos that showcase novel applications of animation technology.
Collaborate with other developers at SEED on projects where your unique expertise will create novelty across SEED's projects that live at the intersection of many domains.
Collaborate with game teams and central technology groups to understand their requirements better and bring expertise in overlapping areas.
Lead the end-to-end delivery of novel animation technology, from the R&D workbench into products at EA, in partnership with game teams and central technology groups.
As a technology leader in animation, you will share and influence animation at EA, across different forums such as Tech Summits, internal conferences, the Principal Engineer Community, and other opportunities as they come.
Share your work through publications, open sourcing, and speaking at conferences.
As a diverse team with solid goals, we provide autonomy and true influence to each member of SEED. someone who gets a kick out of taking new ideas, investigating them, and adapting their application to games. You have a desire to explore new areas of game development - someone who is passionate, creative, communicative, and invested.
At least 15 years of experience in the gaming industry or a related field, with a focus on real-time animation research and development.
Expertise in animation algorithms and techniques. Optionally, experience with machine learning techniques for animation and character movement.
A tracked record of having delivered animation technology, either in AAA games or relevant products
Publications, presentations, or related artifacts in real-time animation research.
Proficient in programming languages such as C++, Python, or similar.

Willingness to travel for conferences and visit teams across EA studios.
You care about video games.
