Job Details

Our motive is to develop innovative action games set in iconic worlds where every player feels like the hero. Let's say that again—iconic worlds where every player feels like the hero. Our passion has taken us from imagining dogfighter pilots in Star Wars™: Squadrons to re-creating Isaac Clarke onboard the Ishimura in Dead Space™.

Currently, we're working on two exciting projects, an original Iron Man™ action-adventure game and what's coming next for Battlefield™.
We believe in sharing our passion with our community and each other, fostering an inclusive culture, and nurturing a growth mindset.
Although our approach may seem simple, it leads us to create the best work of our careers, bringing unique and immersive experiences to our players.

We are looking for a Senior Weapon Artist, External Development to help us build realistic weapons and vehicles, inspire incredible artwork, contribute to defining our production techniques and maintain budgets while always being focused on the highest quality execution.

Responsibilities:

  • Support external artists by teaching, briefing and reviewing assets through written feedback and direct conversation, helping them reach quality.

  • While your main focus is on supporting external partners, you will also spend some of your time creating assets to keep your skills and workflow knowledge sharp.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience from a game title with a realistic looking art direction for weapons, working in some capacity with external partners.

  • Knowledge in modern hard surface asset workflows, including asset production process, modeling and PBR texturing.

  • Deep knowledge of art production process with an interest in collaborating with stakeholders to improve the way we work.
