What you'll do

  • Work with different animation, programming, and mocap teams to understand their game animation needs, constraints, and intentions to design adapted solutions;
  • Analyze existing animation features in the engine + design, develop, and maintain animation systems to properly understand technological limits and know what the engine can produce;
  • Build animation systems that will be the basis for creating a living, dynamic world;
  • Maintain existing animation systems unique to Ubisoft and optimize the animation engine capabilities for new projects;
  • Program in a clear and structured manner in keeping with performance, memory, maintenance, compatibility, and portability requirements;
  • Combine the technical and artistic sides of game design and program the animation systems that will make for the best visual representation;
  • Research and develop new animation techniques (ex. procedural, physics, etc.);
  • Monitor the evolution of animation techniques and share your knowledge with various cross-functional teams across Ubisoft.
Qualifications

What you bring

  • At least 5 years of experience in C++ and C# experience + Visual Studio knowledge;
  • Experience with animation techniques such as rigging, state machines, physics ragdolls, inverse kinematics (IK), compression, facial animation, etc.;
  • Experience in the animation field to understand programming tools and how to improve them;
  • A degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering (or related training);
  • A good eye for detail to find even the smallest flaws in the system and optimize them.
