  • Collaborate closely with technical artists and environment/character teams to maintain pipeline efficiency.
  • Troubleshoot material issues and ensure consistent visual fidelity across the project.
  • Maintain documentation and communicate best practices for material creation and review.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 1+ year of experience in material artist or reviewer / outsourcing management role.
  • At least one shipped title (console, PC, or equivalent).
  • Strong knowledge of Substance Designer and procedural material creation.
  • Experience with Unreal Engine or a comparable real-time engine.
  • Understanding of material optimization for real-time rendering.
  • Excellent communication and feedback delivery skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain consistency across materials.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience managing or reviewing outsourced material teams.
  • Experience with shader authoring and engine integration.
  • Familiarity with version control tools such as Perforce or Git.
  • Knowledge of performance budgets and best practices for high-quality real-time materials.
