h3>Job Description

The animation technical director (TD) will ensure the quality of the technical content produced by their working unit. The incumbent must optimize team productivity through pipeline processes by taking online user needs into account. The TD will carry out his tasks by adequately determining project needs, implementing effective tools and methods to maximize data integration in the game engine and provide technical support for their team.

What you'll do

  • Define their team’s technical needs to carry out the creative vision (design and artistic) by validating the game features and challenging the interpretation to assess technical feasibility;
  • Acquire the best internal and external tools, in collaboration with the programming team and other project TDs, to enhance and facilitate the work of the working unit by supervising feasibility of technological elements, asking that existing tools be adjusted, requesting new tools, or validating the effectiveness of the tools provided before they are deployed on the project;
  • Establish the vision for the best work methods and data structure (data and assets) to standardize work methods and ensure the validity and integrity of the data (meet standards and minimize debugging) by validating or drafting pipeline documents and setting out a common classification system;
  • Determine enhancements and resolve issues in close collaboration with programmers to provide technical support to the working unit and to empower specialists in its domain;
  • Remain informed of new technical and technological developments to be able to apply these developments on the project whenever relevant and share project developments with peers (TDs on other projects and in other working units);
  • Help plan the work in collaboration with the person who oversees planning based on the scope of each task and the impact of the working unit to establish a compromise between quality objectives and delivery constraints (time, costs, resources, etc.);
