- Use the best tools and methods for improving and facilitating the graphic workload
- Share best practices, conduct training sessions to the team to ensure proper use of tools and methods
- Integrate, validate and optimize graphic data in the engine by using scripts if needed
- Ensure that graphic bugs are fixed according to their priorities and provide support to the other artists
- Produce and maintain documentation on tools, methods, trainings, processes, and engine limits for consultation and future reference.
- Help and spearhead the QA Team on ensuring that assets are 100% bug-free and shippable
- Gatekeeper of Tech Art constraints, pushing for top visual quality and performance
