  • Knowledge of motion-matching technology.
  • Experience in creating a AAA title for game consoles, debugging and profiling these games in a console environment.
  • Proven track record of addressing performance issues related to large numbers of animated NPCs.
  • Experience developing systems accelerated by GPUs.
