Responsibilities

• Take finished art from internal artists and external vendors and bring it into Unity: import settings, materials and shaders, prefabs, and LODs.
• Hook up rigs and animations in engine, working with engineers on character and animation setup.
• Set up and light scenes so assets read correctly in game.
• Keep content within mobile performance and memory budgets, including texture sizes and compression, poly counts, and draw calls.
• Validate incoming assets against technical specs and style guides, and flag fixes back to vendors and artists with clear, actionable notes.
• Build small tools, checklists, and templates that make integration faster and more consistent.
• Test content on target devices and work with engineers to resolve art-related performance issues.
• Partner with the Art Director, Technical Artists, engineers, and producers to plan and land art for each milestone.

Requirements

• 0–2+ years of experience in game art, technical art, or art integration, or equivalent experience on a shipped game or substantial student project.
• Strong working knowledge of Unity, including asset import, materials, prefabs, and scene setup.
• Proficiency in Maya or Blender, plus Photoshop and Substance.
• Working knowledge of rigging and skinning fundamentals and of bringing animation into engine.
• Solid understanding of real-time constraints such as texture budgets, polygon counts, draw calls, and LODs.
• Comfortable with Perforce or Git and with tracking work in Jira.
• Clear written and verbal communication with distributed teams and external vendors.
• A portfolio that shows your work in engine.

Nice to Have

• Shipped a mobile title.
• Scripting in C# or Python for tools or pipeline automation.
• Experience working on a licensed IP.
• Experience working within outsourcing pipelines.
• Experience with Shader Graph or VFX.
• Experience using AI tools in an art workflow.
