Skills
We're less interested in whether you've animated dragons or spaceships, and more interested in whether you're excited to learn how a robotic arm assembles a product, how a medical device improves a surgical procedure, or how an industrial compressor moves air through a facility. Our artists spend just as much time asking questions as they do animating. If you enjoy breaking down complicated topics and making them easy to understand, you'll probably love the work we do.
