Animator (Titanfall)

Requisition Number: 118850

Position Title: Animator

External Description:

Respawn Entertainment is a AAA game development studio that was founded in 2010 by former co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the multi-billion dollar Call of Duty and Modern Warfare franchises. In 2017, Respawn was acquired by Electronic Arts, a leading global interactive entertainment publisher. We have shipped Titanfall and Titanfall 2 to critical acclaim, and are currently hiring for our Star Wars ™,  Titanfall, and Unannounced VR game development teams. Our motto is gameplay first, and the opportunity to create groundbreaking games with some of the best developer talent in the industry awaits our future team members.

 

We're looking for a highly skilled Animator who will embrace our philosophy and share his/her hard earned expertise to create an incredible experience for our players. Games have evolved to the point that animators must be true storytellers rather than just technicians. We believe that animation breathes life into a game and that animation is a key part of defining the next generation of games, bringing about their most memorable moments: moments that gamers don’t simply sit back and watch, but moments that they live. We’re picturing someone passionate who will help us tell stories and express emotions through remarkable animations and gameplay. If this sounds like you, we're looking forward to seeing your resume!

 

What you’ll do...

Create a variety of awesome animations for AI systems, scripted in-game scenes, vehicles and environments within Maya, as well as expressing character personality through POV and weapon animation.

Work with Motion Capture data in Maya when necessary.

Implement animations into the project’s engine with full ownership of your work.

Work with multiple departments such as Art, Design and Code to complete tasks. Communication is key to understanding how each discipline contributes to the asset.

Take animations from conceptualization to shipping without direction if necessary.

 

Ideally, you'll have...

2+ years professional game development experience.

A strong understanding of video game animation development.

Very strong keyframing ability. Ability to keyframe realistic human motion.

Ability to critique your own work as needed. Do you have “the eye”?

Ability to handle critiques. The more feedback you receive, the more you can tailor your work towards what is best for the game.

Must be a strong team contributor. Sounds cliché, but it is very important to our success.

Must enjoy what you love. Animation!

Mastery of relevant software packages such as Maya.

Passion for making and playing games.

Experience with first person weapons and full body animations.

Motion Capture cleanup experience.
