$Development
Continuously assess our animation workforce against actual and future opportunities and make recommendations.
Collaborate with stakeholders in the design of comprehensive and coherent technical strategies for in-game rig setup and animation graphs to serve project deliveries and imperatives.
Drive the implementation of tools and engine features for systems like animation blending, state machines, motion matching, IK, and runtime retargeting.
Ensure smooth integration between gameplay and physics feedback and the animation systems.
Collaborate with other teams (gameplay, art, design, production) to ensure high-quality integration and responsiveness.
Provide technical support to Tech Animators and Artists, including debugging, review, and optimization assistance.
When necessary, write documentation explaining the studied or developed systems.
Be proactive in the elaboration of recommendations to improve how we are doing things. Leadanimation project strategies (conventions, unification, sharing, performance) to maintain a coherent technical vision across projects.
