Reporting to the Lead Design Director, we're looking for an experienced Collision Designer who will embrace our philosophy and share your hard earned expertise to create an incredible experience for our players. We're picturing someone who is both knowledgeable and passionate about handling collision for games. If this sounds like you, we're looking forward to seeing your resume!

What you'll do…

• Good comprehension of what professionally authored collision "feels like."
• Maintain a high level of knowledge of the game's design to effectively accomplish tasks.

• Work with production to set a schedule, meet milestones and goals.
• Be responsible for several levels during production while working fast, smart and efficient.

Ideally you will have…

• 3+ years professional experience as a game artist/game designer preferred.
• Previous QA testing experience is a plus.
• Previous experience with collision detection techniques within a game engine is ideal. (Experience in Unreal and/or on a 3rd person action adventure title is a major plus.)

• Ability to communicate professionally with other departments while advocating for good collision and game feel.
• Proactive, self-starting nature.
• Effective time management and strong prioritization skills.
