Experience with Maya (Python and/or MEL) and Photoshop/Illustrator.
Solid understanding of mobile performance constraints and optimisation.

Responsibilities

Define art conventions and standards (naming, structure, layout rules for UI/assets) so AI pipelines run automatically.
Build tools/scripts in art software to check and fix assets, ensure watertight meshes and budget compliance.
Optimise 3D models/textures for mobile without sacrificing quality.
Own the Unity import pipeline and asset post-processing; automate landings in games.
Integrate AI generation tools into production workflows and evaluate new ones.
Scale animated assets across multiple games via templates and automation.
