Description
The Creative Innovations team at Electronic Arts develops core pipeline technologies that power character deformation, facial rigging, and digital likeness across global franchises. As an AI Engineer Intern embedded with our character pipeline group, you will focus on developing, prototyping, and integrating machine learning models and neural networks directly into production animation workflows.
You will design, train, and evaluate machine learning models tailored for 3D character deformation and automated facial performance. You will collaborate with software engineers, technical artists, and AI scientists to build practical, intelligent tools that automate complex character deformation and enhance artist workflows.
Responsibilities:
- Design, train, and evaluate machine learning models for 3D character deformation and automated facial performance
- Write application code and train neural networks using raw 3D capture data and high-fidelity reference assets
- Integrate AI systems into the modern character pipeline stack
- Write clean, production-quality Python code using USD schemas
- Package and deploy code and model environments using Docker
Requirements:
- Enrolled in a bachelor's degree program in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Graphics, or a related technical discipline
- Practical programming skills in Python and a solid foundation in machine learning
- Experience with deep learning and neural network architectures
- Familiarity with USD, digital content creation APIs in Maya or Houdini, and model inference optimization
- Clear technical communication and enthusiasm for applying artificial intelligence to creative character technology
Benefits:
- Comprehensive benefits package, including physical, emotional, financial, professional, and social well-being
- Paid internship
Note: This is a paid internship for the summer of 2027, and applicants must be legally authorized to work in Canada on a full-time basis.
