About The Program

The goals of the program are to provide new graduates the opportunity to apply their academic training and knowledge in a real job at Pixar. Residents will work on Pixar’s films and will have the opportunity to build their skills and learn from our creative and talented workforce. All technical “Residents” will receive ongoing mentorship and training throughout their time at Pixar. The residency is a twelve-month program. Residents will be evaluated during their term and may be considered for ongoing employment, dependent on overall performance and Studio needs.

Summary of the Program:

A Technical Director Residency consists of real-world work assisting in the production of a feature film. Our Residents work alongside our Technical Directors and contribute as full members of the technical team. Residencies are open to new graduates, who possess many of the skills required of our Technical Directors and who are interested in expanding their knowledge of the field and pursuing a long-term career as a Technical Director.

When Technical Director Resident positions are available, we will post them on our website.
