• Manage In-Game Particle Effects for action-adventure games. These include weapon and vehicle FX, environmental, destruction, etc.

Qualifications:

• 3 years experience in the industry
• Experience shipping high quality console games
• Experience in 2D packages such as Photoshop, After Effects or Nuke
• Experience in 3D packages such as Max or Maya
• Strong knowledge of environmental effects, lighting, and dynamics
