Jobbeschreibung

About Us

STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionising the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop, and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass‑scalable, and cost-effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.

We are focused on delivering deployable, high‑performance systems, not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe today.

Your mission

We are looking for a Midweight/Senior Video Editor & Motion Designer to join our in‑house visual content team. You will be a true editorial partner who owns the post‑production pipeline end‑to‑end, working closely with the Head of Design & Brand and the Visual Content Manager.

We aren't looking for someone to just take orders and stitch clips together. You will be a creative collaborator who pushes back on direction, offers “Plan B” solutions on the timeline, and understands how to visualize invisible engineering and raw performance in a way that feels natural, not forced.

Responsibilities

• Own the edit from ingest to final delivery for high‑end campaigns, technical deep‑dives, and social assets.
• Craft compelling stories that communicate the nuances of complex hardware and autonomous systems.
• Handle professional color grading (utilizing ACES/DWG workflows) and immersive sound design natively within DaVinci Resolve.
• Design and animate clean, functional 2D graphics and technical overlays that explain data and engineering concepts clearly.
• Create large‑scale motion design assets for trade show LED screens and global advertising campaigns.
• Work with 3D product renders to composite them naturally into live‑action shots, ensuring a seamless blend of digital and physical assets.
• Actively contribute to the creative process by identifying narrative problems and proposing superior editorial solutions.

Qualifications

• 5–10 years of experience shaping stories in the outdoor, technical hardware, or high‑performance lifestyle spaces.
• DaVinci Resolve Expert: It is your "home base" for editing, professional color grading, and sound design.
• After Effects Fluency: Strong skills in building technical overlays and motion graphics that support the broader story.
• 3D Proficiency (Plus): Experience with tools like Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, or Unreal Engine for compositing and visual effects.
• Technical Sensibility: A deep understanding of how to market complex physical products and visualize high‑performance engineering.
• Collaborative Mindset: Comfort working in a fast‑paced environment where you are expected to provide creative push‑back and editorial insight.
• Portfolio/Reel: A strong body of work demonstrating a keen eye for pacing, color, and how motion design enhances a narrative.
