  • Support the Animation teams with knowledge and solutions beyond DCC packages, including helping with problem solving for Perforce and Frontier's Cobra Engine
  • Support resolving day-to-date technical issues that the animation departments may run into
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
  • Demonstrable Python scripting skills
  • Deep understanding of creating scripts and tools for DCC applications such as Maya
  • Excellent understanding of animation and rigging pipelines
  • A showreel that demonstrates technical animation capabilities such as tools development and clear, technical problem solving
  • Experience developing animation and rigging pipelines for Maya in a professional environment
  • Great communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to discuss ideas and processes that will impact the end-users of our work
  • An eye for animation
  • Great analytical and problem solving skills
  • Self-driven with a passion for pioneering new solutions
  • Keen learner able to take on feedback for own development, and provide feedback for the development of the wider team

BONUS IF YOU HAVE
  • Experience within Unreal, Unity or other games engines, with regards to technical animation or rigging
  • Knowledge of QT & PySide
  • Knowledge of MotionBuilder, and other DCC packages
  • Knowledge of Unreal's Control Rig systems
  • Knowledge of game development pipelines, and experience working in a game development environment
WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU

You will work with talented and passionate people to support, develop or publish our sophisticated and enduring games, in a creative, collaborative and inclusive environment. We love what we do, and we work hard to provide outstanding experiences for our players.

Wellbeing is a big focus at Frontier, and we are continually evolving how we can support our people. We encourage a healthy work/life balance and provide a range of wellbeing activities, initiatives and sessions to support both mental and physical health.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, which includes a success-based annual bonus, share option schemes, life assurance, private family healthcare, flexitime working hours, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, in-house subsidised catering, support with relocation, a Cycle to Work scheme, free bike servicing, and social activities and events.
