5. Delivering finished audio in formats compatible with Nehslo’s post pipeline

  • Clear and effective communication in remote, cross-departmental environments

Preferred (But Not Required)

  • Proficiency in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, or equivalent DAW
  • Experience designing sound specifically for animation
