Our
Motive
is to develop innovative action games set in iconic worlds where every player feels like the hero. Let's say that again—iconic worlds where every player feels like the hero.

Our passion has taken us from imagining dogfighter pilots in Star Wars: Squadrons to re-creating Isaac Clarke onboard the Ishimura in Dead Space. Currently, we're working on two exciting projects, an original Iron Man action-adventure game and what's coming next for Battlefield.

We believe in sharing our passion with our community and each other, fostering an inclusive culture, and nurturing a growth mindset. Although our approach may seem simple, it leads us to create the best work of our careers, bringing unique and immersive experiences to our players.

Motive is looking for a Technical Animator to join its Iron Man team using Unreal Engine 5. You will report to the Technical Animation Director and collaborate with multiple discipline teams to help facilitate the realization of combat and locomotion in our game.
