  • Knowledge in 3D tools such as Blender, Houdini, CAD, Unreal Engine, Unity, or similar software.
  • Comfort coaching, mentoring, and encouraging an inclusive and empowering environment for the team to do innovative and impactful work.
  • Experience working with teams solving ambiguous problems and crafting big picture strategies driven by design. Excellent oral and written communication skills are a prerequisite.
