Video Editor / Motion Designer

Description

About the company. American factories deserve a supply chain that moves as fast as they do. The company is building it, along with the tools that run it. We’re a technology company with operations in Metro Detroit and Los Angeles, supplying aluminum plate, bar, and rounds to aerospace and defense manufacturers. We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible.

The role. We’re hiring a Video Editor / Motion Designer to turn raw footage and complex industrial ideas into work people want to watch. You will edit brand films, customer stories, recruiting pieces, product explainers, and social content while building a motion language that is recognizably the company.

You will own projects from ingest through delivery, often moving between documentary footage, technical graphics, sound, color, and multiple platform cuts. The standard is clear storytelling, strong taste, and fast, dependable execution.

Responsibilities

• Edit short- and long-form videos from selects through final delivery
• Build motion graphics, titles, diagrams, maps, and data visualizations that clarify technical ideas
• Find the strongest story in interviews, factory footage, and incomplete source material
• Collaborate with cinematography and marketing on treatments, coverage, and post plans
• Handle sound design, music selection, dialogue cleanup, color finishing, and captioning
• Create platform-specific versions for web, recruiting, sales, and social channels
• Maintain clean projects, proxies, asset libraries, versioning, and archival standards
• Use feedback well and protect the central idea through revisions
• Help define templates and systems that increase output without making the work generic

Requirements

• An excellent editor with a strong sense of pacing, structure, music, and emotional rhythm
• A capable motion designer who can make complicated processes easy to understand
• Precise about details, file organization, specifications, and deadlines
• Comfortable working independently and presenting creative decisions clearly
• Fast when needed without becoming careless
• Curious about industrial work and able to make real processes more compelling than stock imagery
• Collaborative, direct, and open to useful criticism
• Advanced experience with Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable tools
• Experience with 3D, compositing, sound mixing, or color grading
• Work in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, technology, or documentary storytelling
• Experience designing systems for high-volume social production
• Comfort using AI tools responsibly for transcription, search, cleanup, and workflow automation

Benefits

• Equity in the company
• Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
• This role is full time and in person in either Los Angeles or Detroit.
• The company is an equal opportunity employer. We hire based on skill, attitude, and fit for the work, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, height, weight, marital status, or any other protected status under federal, state, or local law.
