Answer:

The position I was seeking was Technical Director. One must realize that a Technical Director’s job is purely based on programming and problem solving. It does not involve any artistic work. However it is always an added advantage to know the workflow of an artist. I had started learning 3D Modeling in AutoDesk Maya in my sophomore year thanks to the many online resources available. Once I was a comfortable with modeling I started exploring other areas like Rigging, Animation, Lighting and MEL Scripting. I explored a lot of forums and learned a lot about the production pipeline involved in making an animated movie. However the main skills required for this job are your programming and problem solving abilities.
