• As a part of the Audio team, you will provide and respond to Audio feedback and be an active mixer for your assets, your sub team's assets and provide feedback on the title's overall mix.
• NOTE The internship is a non-paid and temporary employment

Qualifications:
• Experience of designing and implementing quality assets into a game (engine), from both a creative and technical standpoint. Linear (only) experience is also acceptable.

• Desire to develop your game audio production, implementation, and engineering skills.
• Outstanding 'critical listening' skills.
• Examples of your artistic, narrative, and creative sense will strengthen your application.
