  • 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)

  • 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.

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.
