Job description

Your sketchbook says more than your resume ever could, and at NexTech Systems that's precisely the kind of Instructional Designer we're hunting for. Honestly, the draw is the ownership: $60,000 - $92,000 and internship hours come standard, but the creative reins are the real prize.

• Translate dense product specs into visuals a tired commuter grasps instantly
• Audit existing creative for the ownership-driven inconsistencies nobody flagged sooner
• Salvage usable frames from a shoot the weather in Princeton half-ruined
• Deliver pixel-perfect, production-ready files to engineering and print teams
• Hand engineering specs tight enough that the build matches the mock
• Prototype interface ideas fast enough to kill the weak ones cheaply
• Pull through one service-minded visual idea across web, print, and the Princeton, NJ storefront

What You'll Bring

• Equal parts Collaboration depth and Framer curiosity
• A history of leaving creative processes better than you found them
• Ability to learn new creative systems quickly and apply them effectively
• A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
• Demonstrated comfort presenting to junior leadership
