DreamWorks Animation Careers

As our films continue to set new standards of excellence in animated movies, we are committed to seeding the next generation of animation professionals to help keep us at the top of our game. Every department at our company depends on a wide range of skills and ideas to fuel our creative work, so we particularly encourage students from diverse backgrounds with varied experiences to apply for our internship programs. You’ll get hands-on experience, gain knowledge of the industry and develop a network for future career opportunities.

Want to get started? Then you:

Are (or will be next semester) a junior or senior enrolled full-time at an accredited college or university.
Have an academic major related to the position in which you’re interested.
Have some previous work experience (industry experience is even better).
Are able to work a minimum of 40 hours per week for 10-12 weeks for summer internships and 16-24 hours per week for fall and spring internships.
Can provide proof of eligibility to work in the U.S.
Are savvy around computers, can demonstrate teamwork and excel in a fast-paced environment.
Can provide your own housing and transportation during the internship and pay for your expenses if we select you to come in for an interview.

We offer production, engineering and support internships in Summer, Spring and Fall. All internships last 10 to 12 weeks.

We’re looking for highly qualified engineering students pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree. Engineering interns will spend 12 weeks working on projects in our digital operations or R&D departments. Our start and end dates are flexible to accommodate academic schedules. Summer internships are full-time positions; Fall and Spring internships are part-time. All pay competitive wages based on experience.

As a production or support intern, you’ll be working 40 hours per week during the summer, or 16-24 hours per week during the Spring or Fall.

You’ll participate in either special projects or the day-to-day operations of the department. By the end of the program, you’ll have a greater understanding and appreciation of the scope and function of CG animation production as well as day-to-day operations.
