Job Description

CD PROJEKT RED is looking for a Junior Motion Capture Specialist  to join our team in the Boston hub as we continue to build the motion capture foundation for our upcoming projects!

This role is part of the Shared Development Services (SDS) group, meaning you will be embedded within a collaborative, cross-studio collective supporting multiple productions. In this hands-on role, you’ll be involved in both mocap session preparation and post-processing. You’ll also support our team in enhancing our tools and stage setups, building experience with our workflows while helping improve them. Your work will make a direct impact on animation quality across our projects.

Daily Responsibilities:

  • Assisting in all stages of a mocap shoot.
  • Processing mocap data: retargeting, solving, tracking.
  • Working with internal clients to facilitate mocap shoots.
  • Maintaining mocap studio hardware.
  • Assembling mocap setups for offsite shoots, support or accommodations provided where needed.
  • Helping improve the mocap pipeline by exploring new technologies and solutions.
Qualifications
  • 1+ years of experience in motion capture in a production environment including mocap shoots for games, films and/or commercials.
  • Experience with one or more motion capture software tools: Shogun, Blade, Motive, Cortex, or Giant (Shogun/Blade preferred).
  • Experience in assisting with setting up/refining a motion capture volume.
  • Open to feedback, learning, and sharing knowledge with teammates.
     

Nice to have
(please note these are not required to apply)

  • Experience with Unreal Engine is a plus.
  • HMC Technology experience is a plus.
  • Fundamental knowledge of Autodesk MotionBuilder.
  • Basic scripting skills (e.g., Python, HSL, JavaScript).

Additional Information

The application window for this position will close by 09/01/2026.

This job requires working in Boston, US.
Working mode: in-office in a hybrid or full-time capacity. 

Health & Well-Being

  • Company-paid medical healthcare (dental, vision, and mental).
  • Free mental health support, including access to counseling, psychiatric care, and a variety of well-being webinars.
  • Paid leave — 26 days of vacation, 10 sick days, & 12 calendar holidays per year
  • 401K with employer matching. 
  • Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) – $100 per month to use towards fitness, wellness, internet, home office equipment, learning, streaming services, and more.
  • Menstrual leave — employees who menstruate can take one extra day off when experiencing period pain.
  • RED Parents Network — support for working parents.
  • Flexible working hours.

Perks & Professional Growth

  • Trainings, lectures, and courses — internal workshops, knowledge-sharing initiatives, online tutorials, and e-learning classes are all available.
  • A welcome pack filled with goodies — to help you feel right at home once you join the team.

Life in the Office

  • Dog-friendly office — bring your pooch with you and look after them while working! There’s always a furry friend or two to meet.
  • Truly international working environment — a chance to meet and work with a diverse selection of people from all around the world.
  • No dress-code — we like to keep it casual.

This position is a new role.
