This role requires strong written and verbal communication skills, strong technical competency with visual scripting tools, and a deep understanding of the cognitive load placed on players.
Responsibilities You will partner with the gameplay team, and collaborate with design leadership through all stages of development to ensure ideal controller mappings and documentation for each platform, input method, and player motivation.

You will set up and refine the logic for low-level inputs in-engine using visual scripting tools and visual state machines.
You will improve on gameplay feel by tuning details such as input dead zones, input buffers, and analogue magnitude thresholds.
You will own, manage, and grow a collection of player-facing input options, and resolve complexities and conflicts that arise from their combinations.
