About the Role

Generative AI is transforming 3D creative workflows. As a pioneer and leader in 3D generative AI, Meshy invites you—an expert in 3D animation technology—to redefine how character animation is produced. In this role, you will be responsible for developing animation generation systems, tackling technical challenges such as automatic skeletal rigging and motion retargeting, and building an end-to-end intelligent pipeline for 3D animation.

What You’ll Do:

  • Develop general-purpose skeletal rigging and animation retargeting systems, supporting bipedal, quadrupedal, and other types of character animation.
  • Build character animation pipelines integrated with 3D generative AI, maintaining workflows for keypoint computation, skinning weights, and animation export.
  • Continuously improve animation system performance and stability, ensuring generation speed and quality meet product requirements.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest animation generation techniques and develop innovative solutions such as Text-to-Motion and Video-to-Motion.

What We're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Digital Media Technology, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in engine or 3D tool development, with at least one project delivering an animation feature module.
  • Strong knowledge and practical experience in skeletal rigging and animation retargeting.
  • Familiarity with mainstream animation tools such as Houdini, Blender (Python API), and Maya, including scripting and pipeline extensions.
  • Proficient in C++ and Python programming; understanding of keypoint detection, skinning weight computation, and motion interpolation algorithms.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with Houdini’s animation and rigging systems.
  • Experience in deep learning-based motion generation.
  • Experience in Web3D development (WebGL, WebGPU, WebAssembly).
  • Experience in character animation art production.

Our Values

  • Brain: We value intelligence and the pursuit of knowledge. Our team is composed of some of the brightest minds in the industry.
  • Heart: We care deeply about our work, our users, and each other. Empathy and passion drive us forward.
  • Gut: We trust our instincts and are not afraid to take bold risks. Innovation requires courage.
  • Taste: We have a keen eye for quality and aesthetics. Our products are not just functional but also beautiful.
