• Troubleshoot technical issues in the Unreal Engine
• Be a conduit for artists, Brain Bar, engineering and IT

• Previous experience working in a real time/virtual production environment, preferably at a VFX or animation studio, OR experience working in a previsualization, virtual art department, virtual production or motion capture production environment
