Role : Senior Character Rigger

We are seeking a hands-on, production-proven Senior Character Rigger to join Analog as an individual contributor. This is a rigging-focused role, centered on building high-quality, animator-friendly rigs in Autodesk Maya for real-time 3D and AR/VR experiences.

This position is intended for a specialist rigger who actively builds, debugs, and ships rigs in production. It is not a hybrid Tech Artist or animation systems role. We are open to strong mid-level or senior candidates, provided they are deeply hands-on today.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and deliver production-ready character and creature rigs in Autodesk Maya
Own skeleton setup, skinning, deformation systems, constraints, and corrective solutions
Create clean, stable, and animator-friendly control rigs focused on performance and usability
Collaborate closely with animators to support expressive and efficient animation workflows
Ensure rigs meet real-time engine constraints (Unity / Unreal) in collaboration with technical teams
Debug, iterate, and improve rigs based on animation and runtime feedback
Maintain and improve existing rigs without compromising quality or consistency
