Technical Artist - AI Solutions

Description & Requirements
Electronic Arts creates next-level entertainment experiences that inspire players and fans around the world. Here, everyone is part of the story. Part of a community that connects across the globe. A place where creativity thrives, new perspectives are invited, and ideas matter. A team where everyone makes play happen.
Our EA Experiences group (XO) is dedicated to ensuring great experiences for our growing communities centered around our world-renowned brands, including fan-favorites like Apex, Battlefield, EA SPORTS FC, Madden NFL and The Sims, just to name a few. We’re a multi-functional group, with world-class expertise building fandoms, driving interactive storytelling, and positioning our franchises at the center of the broader entertainment ecosystem. We inspire, connect, and engage fans through culturally relevant content, intentionally architected journeys across channels, and meaningful fan care. Our goal is to provide valuable, easy experiences that fans love – in our games, around our games, and through innovative adjacent experiences to grow and enrich how fans experience EA as we shape the future of entertainment.
You will be the hands-on technical artist/producer, reporting to the head of XO AI. You will design, prove, and productionize AI-powered creative workflows, creating creative and reliable image, video, and audio pipelines for creative and production teams. You'll architect the creative workflows for an end-to-end AI content creation and deployment solution (from dataset & prompt systems through approvals, versioning, and channel delivery). You will work in a startup-like environment: define requirements, rapidly prototype, iterate with stakeholders, and set new standards using the latest tools and models. You're creative, innovative, self-motivated, team-first, and equally strong working independently. You will create image, video, and audio pipelines and workflows that enable creatives to spend more time being creative. You will be a hybrid worker, collaborating with teams 3 days a week from the office; international travel to collaborate with global teams is an added bonus.
