Support the successful delivery of animation assets by identifying and resolving technical issues throughout the production process.
Evaluate emerging tools, technologies, and workflows that could benefit the Animation department.
Document tools, workflows, and technical processes to support knowledge sharing and long-term maintainability.
Escalate complex technical issues to Pipeline or Software Engineering teams when appropriate.
