Summary of the Role:
This role is considered Hybrid, which means the employee will work 2-3 days onsite at a Company designated location and occasionally from home.

Simulating natural phenomena, rigid-body destruction, crowds and procedural animation.
Lighting, texturing, look-development, and layered material definition.
Modeling, rigging, and animation of bodies and faces, including soft-body dynamic simulation of cloth, hair, and flesh.
Tools, structures, and pipeline systems that define how artists assemble and manage massively complex 3D scenes, and user interfaces for authoring, validating, publishing, and tracking 3D and 2D data as it moves through a network of automated batch processes.
We welcome engineers with a passion for applying the latest machine learning technology to these challenges and more
