Principal Product Designer, Robot Animation and Character, Fauna

Job description

Fauna Robotics is building capable, safe, and delightful robots for everyday life. We are hiring a Principal Product Designer to animate our robots and build a consistent character. This is the person who decides what our robot feels like as a sidekick in someone's home — and the person who animates it to get there.

You are an animator first, at the top of your craft. You will define the robot's personality and its expressive motion vocabulary — how it greets someone, shows curiosity, hesitates, celebrates, or settles into calm — and you will craft the performances that establish it, from first concept through what ships.

This is a hands-on animation and design role.

Job requirements

12+ years of professional experience in character animation
A body of work — reel required — that demonstrates authorship of character and personality through motion: timing, weight, appeal, and performance
Mastery of animation craft across a range of characters and emotional registers, from broad performance to subtle, quiet moments
Experience carrying a character from concept through finished, polished animation
Ability to work within real production or technical constraints without losing the performance
Background in feature, episodic, or games animation, or themed entertainment, where animation drives character and story
Experience animating stylized or non-human characters — robots, creatures, mascots — where personality must come through a non-human form
Experience with physically embodied characters: robots, animatronics, or real-time/interactive systems where motion plays out in the physical world
