- ** Acquire the best tools** in collaboration with the programming team and other Technical directors (TD) of the project to enhance and facilitate your trade’s work by prototyping technological elements, asking for adjustments to existing tools, requesting new tools and validating their efficiency before they are deployed on the project.
- ** Establish the best work methods and data structures**(data and assets) to standardize work methods and ensure the validity and integrity of the data (meet standards and minimize debugging) by writing technical (pipeline) documents, establishing a naming method, training, coaching and supervising users of the process.
- ** Find improvements and resolve issues** in order to provide technical support to your trade by working in close collaboration with programmers and training team members to become specialists resolving tasks and precise problems.
- ** Help plan the work** by collaborating with the planning lead on the scope of each task and the impact on your team in order to find the right compromise between the desired quality and the delivery constraints (time, costs, resources, etc.).
- ** Follow up on the tasks of the assistant TDs** to assess the progress of the deliverables.

**Qualifications** What you bring**
- Approximately 7 years of experience in character modeling and/or rigging, or programming (or other relevant experience) + 3 years of leadership experience;
- A degree in 3D animation, computer science, or computer engineering (or related training);
- Knowledge of modeling, texturing, anatomy, shaders, and other character-related developments;
- Strong knowledge of game engines (e.g. Unity or Unreal) and 3D design software (3DS Max, Maya) + understanding of scripting languages (e.g. C#, Python, JavaScript, MaxScript);
