and is ideal for someone who thrives on solving complex animation problems with elegant, scalable solutions. You'll design and implement the underlying architecture of our animation systems in UnrealEngine 5: from Control Rigs and state machines to real-time procedural tools and Motion Matching systems. You'll also collaborate closely with animators, technical artists, combat designers … be part of Engineering department and work closely with our Design, Art, and Development teams. Your Role Animation Systems Development Design, implement, and maintain animation systems and pipelines in UnrealEngine 5 to support traversal, combat, cinematics, and character interactions. Build and optimize Control Rigs, deformers, constraints, and real-time rigging solutions for characters, creatures, and NPCs. Develop … procedural animation solutions, including IK-based foot placement, additive pose layering, aim/look-at systems, and pose correction. Integrate Unreal Motion Matching (UMM) to power responsive, next-gen locomotion blending systems. Create and maintain animation graphs, blend spaces, and state machines to support seamless transitions between movement and combat.
