Principal Engineer, Animation Research - Toronto, Canada - Electronic Arts
Description
Requisition Number:182378Can this position be remote?: YesWe are a global team of creators, storytellers, technologists, experience originators, innovators and so much more. We believe amazing games and experiences start with teams as diverse as the players and communities we serve. At Electronic Arts, the only limit is your imagination.
SEED is a pioneering group within Electronic Arts, combining creativity with applied research. We explore, build and help define the future of interactive entertainment.
We exist at EA to deliver and foster inspiring innovation for our games and our players. We do this through exploration, research, prototypes, and never-ending curiosity. We collaborate with game teams and industry partners and also publish our research within our industry and to the public. We pursue long-term applied research yet stay relevant to the present by delivering artifacts along the way to game teams and technology groups inside EA. Some of our research includes bringing digital characters to life, using machine learning for game AI and content creation, and developing novel real-time graphics & physics techniques.
We are looking for a Principal Animation Researcher - someone with a wide gamut of experience in real-time animation to contribute their unique expertise across SEED's projects and create technology that enables world-class experiences for our players.
With your passion for animation, you have a good sense of the path to true innovation for animation in video games. You know the relevant research areas in the field and know how they need to evolve and be applied to deliver unforgettable experiences. Therefore, you will work with the team's leadership to set the group's direction regarding animation research. You will also work with other researchers to design and implement animation technology that enables novel experiences for our players. This is an applied R&D role: you excel at both researching and implementing end-to-end solutions and know how to balance between quality and performance to ensure the delivery of results. As part of a collective of diverse individuals, you will also contribute your unique expertise across SEED's projects that live at the intersection of many domains.
This position is onsite from one of our EA offices in Canada, and it offers an opportunity for remote work. This role also includes the possibility of leading a small team of researchers. Should this align with your aspirations, you will report to SEED's Head of Technology. Otherwise, you will report to our Generative AI research vector leader.
As a Principal Animation Researcher at SEED, you will:
As a diverse team with solid goals, we provide autonomy and true influence to each member of SEED. We are looking for an open and curious person; someone who gets a kick out of taking new ideas, investigating them, and adapting their application to games. You have a desire to explore new areas of game development - someone who is passionate, creative, communicative, and invested.
