· Experience working closely with both artists and engineers in a collaborative environment
· Solid understanding of real-time engines (Unreal Engine preferred) and content pipelines
· Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence across disciplines
Key Responsibilities
· Identify and solve complex technical challenges across the vehicle art pipeline
· Design and implement scalable systems and workflows that address issues across multiple vehicles simultaneously
· Develop and improve tools that enable artists to work more efficiently and at higher quality
· Partner closely with artists and engineers to streamline content creation and integration
· Take ownership of systemic issues and drive solutions that improve output across the entire vehicle team

What we’re looking for
