  • Translate animation team technical needs into actionable solutions for engineering and pipeline teams.
  • Diagnose and resolve animation-related issues involving rig behavior, deformation quality, skeletal hierarchies, retargeting, and physics performance.
  • Design, build, and maintain modular, animator-friendly rigs for characters, creatures, props, facial animation, and mechanical assets.
  • Implement and refine physics-based systems such as ragdoll setups, cloth simulation, spline dynamics, secondary motion, and procedural animation.
  • Develop scalable animation blueprints, state machines, blend trees, and control rigs in Unreal or Unity.
  • Integrate motion capture data and build retargeting pipelines to maintain consistent motion quality across character sets.
  • Create and maintain tools, scripts, and automated pipelines that improve animation productivity and asset quality.
  • Build validation tools to enforce naming conventions, skeleton standards, rig integrity, and performance budgets.
  • Profile and optimize animation systems, rig performance, runtime solvers, and physics setups within hardware constraints.

Requirements

  • Experience with Python, C#, MEL, PyMEL, MAXScript, Blueprints (Unreal), or editor tools in Unity.
  • Understanding of runtime animation systems, rig solvers, and physics components.

  • Experience with tool and workflow development.
  • Proficiency with Unreal Engine, including Control Rig, Physics, and Animation Blueprints.
  • Proficiency with Unity, including Mecanim, the Animation Rigging Package, and optionally DOTS animation.
  • Experience with Maya and 3DS Max for rigging, scripting, and tool creation.
  • Experience with Houdini for procedural rigs, physics, or motion tools is a bonus.
  • Experience with Perforce, Git, and standard DCC tools such as Photoshop and Substance.
  • Must have relevant working rights for Malaysia or Indonesia.
  • Sponsorship and relocation are not offered for this role.
