Responsibilities:

  • You will partner with peers on the Technical Art team and with project Technical Art Directors to support game and studio vision, provide/receive feedback, and continuously improve, with the goal of creating performant tools and technologies that allow the creation of assets of high visual quality, and technologies that move EA into the future.
  • You will collaborate with content creators using a service-minded attitude, looking to understand issues and requirements and offer support.
  • You will assess, design, implement, and maintain content creation tools/pipelines/workflows that meet artist needs and increase productivity for content creators.
  • You will learn and familiarise yourself with multiple technologies, technical concepts, ideas, and problems.

  • You must be enrolled in an accredited degree program and return to school for at least one semester following your internship with EA.
  • You must be graduating in May 2028 or later, including the time needed to complete your internship.

  • Relocation support may be available if you meet specific eligibility criteria.


Qualifications:


  • Foundational experience with (and technical proficiency in) 3D concepts such as: modelling, texturing, rendering, physically-based shading, lighting, rigging, skinning and deformation, dynamics (i.e. cloth and hair), particle systems, and image manipulation techniques.
  • Basic familiarity with game engine workflows (i.e. Unity, Unreal), asset pipelines and profiling, and revision control systems.
  • Exposure to… (e.g. C++, C#, Wwise, Unity etc.,)
  • Knowledge of and exposure to AI/ML-based techniques for content creation a plus (e.g. ComfyUI, image/video models, 2D->3D generation, etc.)
  • Applied process optimization – from minutes to seconds for example.


Preferred Technical Skills (Nice-to-Haves)


  • Knowledge of 2D and 3D art packages (Maya and Photoshop desired).
  • Experience in scripting and programming (Python and C# desired).


Education & Experience


  • Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
