  • Create Python, MEL, or similar scripting solutions to automate repetitive production tasks and streamline artist workflows.
  • Collaborate with the CG Supervisor, Rigging, and Pipeline teams to design and improve animation tools and production workflows.
  • Provide technical support to Animators by troubleshooting issues related to scenes, rigs, caches, assets, and character deformations.
  • Integrate, validate, publish, and maintain animation assets throughout production.
  • Investigate recurring production issues and develop scalable solutions that improve pipeline stability and artist productivity.
  • Support the successful delivery of animation assets by identifying and resolving technical issues throughout the production process.
  • Evaluate emerging tools, technologies, and workflows that could benefit the Animation department.
  • Document tools, workflows, and technical processes to support knowledge sharing and long-term maintainability.
  • Escalate complex technical issues to Pipeline or Software Engineering teams when appropriate.

Requirements

What You’ll Bring

Required

  • Professional experience as an Animation Technical Artist, Technical Artist, or in a similar technical production support role within animation or VFX.
  • Strong knowledge of Autodesk Maya and CG animation production workflows.
  • Professional experience developing production tools and workflow automation using Python and MEL.
  • Experience supporting artists by troubleshooting technical issues related to animation scenes, rigs, caches, and assets.
  • Familiarity with character rigging, deformation systems, constraints, and animation pipelines.
  • Experience working with ShotGrid or comparable production tracking software.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to document tools and technical workflows.

Preferred

  • Experience collaborating with Pipeline or Software Engineering teams.
  • Familiarity with version control and production pipeline technologies.
  • Experience supporting large-scale animated feature or television productions.
