About AI Gurus Academy & AI Gurus Studio

AI Gurus Academy and AI Gurus Studio are divisions of Cyber Security Training and Consulting, LLC and NewsGenie, Inc.—organizations at the forefront of AI-driven innovation. Our studio focuses on the practical application of artificial intelligence, motion capture, animation, and immersive technologies to create next-generation educational content, advertising media, and experimental digital experiences.

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated, full-time Motion Capture & Digital Animation Specialist with a strong work ethic, high accountability, and a drive to deliver results. This is not a passive or purely creative role—this position requires someone who is willing to take ownership, solve problems, and consistently execute at a high level.

You will play a key role in supporting and executing motion capture sessions, animation workflows, and virtual production pipelines using tools such as Rokoko, Unreal Engine, and Blender. You will also contribute to advertising content and emerging formats, including 3D holographic and immersive media experiences.

This is an on-site, hands-on production role within a growing studio environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Set up, calibrate, and operate Rokoko motion capture systems 
  • Execute motion capture recording sessions, including troubleshooting hardware and software issues 
  • Process, clean, retarget, and export motion capture data for use in production pipelines 
  • Develop and integrate assets within Unreal Engine and Blender 
  • Support virtual production workflows, including real-time rendering and scene development 
  • Contribute to the creation of advertising content and immersive media experiences 
  • Assist in the development of 3D and holographic-style content 
  • Collaborate with team members on creative concepts, production execution, and delivery  
  • Document workflows, processes, and technical configurations 
  • Continuously improve efficiency, quality, and repeatability of production pipelines 

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Animation, Film, Game Development, Computer Graphics, or a related field 
  • Demonstrated strong work ethic, reliability, and accountability 
  • Ability to work full-time on-site in Downtown Mesa, Arizona 
  • Hands-on experience with: 
    • Unreal Engine 
    • Blender  
  • Foundational understanding of: 
    • Motion capture workflows 
    • Animation pipelines 
    • 3D asset integration 
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot technical issues independently 
  • Ability to manage time effectively and meet deadlines in a production environment 
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Rokoko motion capture systems or similar technologies 
  • Experience in advertising, digital media production, or commercial content creation 
  • Exposure to or experience with 3D holographic content or immersive display technologies 
  • Familiarity with: 
    • Python (automation, scripting) 
    • Real-time rendering pipelines 
    • Avatar and AI-driven content tools (e.g., HeyGen, ElevenLabs) 
  • Experience working in a studio, production, or agency environment 

What We’re Looking For

This role is best suited for someone who:

  • Takes ownership of their work and follows through without constant oversight 
  • Demonstrates a relentless work ethic and willingness to go beyond minimum expectations 
  • Thrives in a hands-on, fast-moving environment 
  • Is both technical and creative, with the ability to execute—not just ideate 
  • Is eager to learn, adapt, and grow with emerging technologies 

What You’ll Gain

  • Direct, hands-on experience with motion capture, virtual production, and AI-driven content workflows 
  • Exposure to cutting-edge tools and emerging media formats 
  • Opportunity to work on real-world projects, including advertising and immersive experiences

  • The ability to help shape and build workflows within an evolving studio environment
