As a Senior Technical Animator on the Rainbow Six brand, you’ll play a key role in designing and building rigging systems that support the creation of a variety of high-quality assets. Your technical proficiency with character aesthetics will bring immersive, authentic worlds to life. You’re adaptable, thrive on creative challenges, and take pride in shaping the visual identity of realistic AAA games through thoughtful animation systems.
Working closely with multidisciplinary team members, you’ll ensure a cohesive visual style across features, with a core focus on gameplay character elements, such as skinning, physics, and modelling. Your ability to translate mock-ups into high-quality integrated visualisations will help guide production and inspire the wider art team. You’re passionate about your craft and committed to continuous improvement. From conducting in-depth research to participating in peer reviews, you actively seek and provide constructive feedback to elevate the team’s artistic output.
This is more than just a role! It’s an opportunity to contribute to a globally recognised franchise, collaborate with international teams, and see your character rigging come to life in one of the industry’s most respected series. You will play an integral part in telling a story, communicating the Director’s creative vision through realistic character movement and interaction inspired by the project’s narrative and design. As a natural collaborator and communicator, you’ll help motivate fellow Animators & Riggers, and take pride in knowing your work plays a key part in the Rainbow Six legacy.
