Technical Artist [PCG & Houdini]

As a Technical Artist [PCG & Houdini] at Ubisoft Montreal, you will design, build, and support procedural content generation systems that enable teams to create high-quality, scalable environments while meeting production and performance requirements. You will work closely with artists, designers, and programmers to deliver reliable, production-ready solutions.

What you’ll do

• Design, implement, and maintain procedural content generation pipelines using Houdini integrated into Unreal Engine.
• Create, optimize, and profile materials and shaders to support large-scale procedural environments.
• Develop data-driven PCG systems that generate environments, points of interest, variations, and fine details at scale.
• Prototype, iterate, debug, and deliver production-ready tools and systems across Houdini and Unreal.
• Ensure generated content meets performance, stability, and runtime constraints.
• Own the quality and controllability of generated content, including budgets, streaming, collisions, and navigation.
• Collaborate with art and design teams to maintain artistic coherence and strong playability.
• Take end-to-end ownership of PCG tools, including documentation, usability, and long-term maintainability.

What you bring to the team

• Strong experience with procedural workflows in Houdini and Unreal Engine.
• Solid understanding of real-time rendering constraints and performance optimization.
• Ability to design robust and scalable systems suitable for production environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills and comfort debugging complex technical setups.
• Experience collaborating across art, design, and programming disciplines.
• Clear communication skills to explain technical concepts to diverse teams.
• A portfolio or project examples demonstrating procedural systems, tools, or pipelines.
