We are EA

We entertain millions of people across the globe with the most amazing and immersive interactive software in the industry. That is why we employ the most creative, passionate people in the industry. EA's UK game studio Criterion is opening several yearlong internships, spanning all game development crafts.

We are growing our team with accomplished people who will help us take a huge leap forwards, and you, the next generation of game makers, are central to this ambition. As we explore new possibilities within gaming, challenge our own beliefs and step outside of our comfort zone, we need fresh perspective that challenges convention and inspires us to grow.

We are looking for an accomplished and motivated Game Designer Intern who will help us on this journey, while learning about the field of games art hands-on.

Responsibilities
• At Criterion we believe when we work together in multi-discipline feature teams this allows for even greater collaboration and creativity. As a designer you will work together with other designers, engineers, artists, and all other disciplines within the studio. We do not silo our teams by craft.
• Designing a game requires many areas of expertise, so there is a lot to choose from when it comes to a design specialism: Levels, Gameplay, Handling, Systems, Events/Modes, Economy and Narrative. Currently, we are looking for an intern in any one of these areas depending on what is best for you, and in all likelihood, you'll end up working across several these.

Skills and Qualifications
• Some experience in Game Design or in Design and have a passion for gaming – maybe you have taken part in a hack, worked on a project at University or work on a personal project or perhaps you have formal training in Design from out with games but have a passion for games.
• You value working in a team and are not afraid to ask questions
• You know that we can never stop learning and so have a hunger to learn as much as possible whenever you can
• A passion for games and games design
• You play games and often try to understand how they are made or have ideas on how to improve them
• If you have created a game feature or level, worked on a related project, or maybe designed your own website…show us, we would love to take a look

Please note: If you have a passion to work for Electronic Arts please apply, even if this specification does not describe you. Unfortunately, job specifications are a little more box like than we would like. We do not like putting people into boxes. We would love to hear about who you are because, even if it is not design, we may find something here that is right for you and therefore right for us too.
