Mid Level 3D Animator / Blender Generalist
Contract / Part time - 2026 07
We are design partners in emerging technologies.
We shape perception through compelling visual experiences.
At Axis Digital Productions, we work with companies across the creative tech, games, aerospace, and robotics industries to visualize their innovative IP in ways that captivate both investors and future customers. Our clients are literally designing the future, and we bring their vision to life.
Axis Digital Productions is looking for a skilled animator to animate human and robotic armatures in Blender. A perfect candidate has at least 3-5 years of experience working in Blender, and at least as much experience animating a variety of assets. They must have a strong understanding of keying, the timeline, the dopesheet, actions, and the NLA editor to accomplish their tasks as well as how file/asset linking works between blender files. An ideal candidate can design and build their own armatures, add inverse kinematics properly, and apply various bone constraints and drivers to aid their work. This role is contract-based; however, we are looking for talented people we can add to our long-term staff. This position opens August 1st, 2026.
Our ideal candidate is professionally minded, highly respectful of client intellectual property and confidentiality, is able to collaborate and communicate clearly, and finally is an ambitious problem solver when issues arise.
Axis Digital Productions utilizes traditional, hybrid, and AI powered production pipelines to deliver highly polished and curated work. Regardless of the process or tool, maintaining design authority is our key goal.
