## Requirements

## Key Responsibilities

-   Collaborate with AI research and engineering teams to identify knowledge gaps and improve model performance in motion graphics, kinetic typography, animated overlays, and code-driven video production.
-   Design challenging, real-world motion design tasks that assess creative quality, technical accuracy, animation principles, and production readiness.
-   Create high-quality reference deliverables using Adobe After Effects and other relevant tools, ensuring editable project files and production-ready outputs.
-   Develop code-driven animations and graphics using technologies such as Remotion, HTML5 Canvas, SVG, Three.js, WebGL, or similar frameworks.
-   Evaluate AI-generated motion graphics, animations, and video outputs for timing, easing, typography, visual hierarchy, tracking, safe areas, and audio synchronization.
-   Provide structured, detailed written feedback to improve the quality and accuracy of AI-generated creative content.
-   Build evaluation guidelines, quality standards, and detailed rubrics for motion design and animation workflows.
-   Develop or apply scripted technical checks to validate rendered outputs, including format, duration, frame rate, and other production specifications.
-   Work with fellow creative professionals and subject matter experts to maintain consistency and quality across AI training and evaluation datasets.

## Required Qualifications
