Job description

Inversion is an aerospace and defense company pioneering advanced reentry technology to enable next-generation capabilities from space. By combining high-performance materials, precision aerodynamics, and mission-driven autonomy, Inversion is transforming reentry into an operational capability for an entirely new class of missions.

The company’s highly maneuverable reentry spacecraft, Arc, is designed for rapid global cargo delivery, hypersonic testing, and other national security missions that require precise, controlled flight through the atmosphere.

At Inversion, we believe telling our story is critical to building the company.

• Be where the story is happening. Embed with our teams and travel to test sites, launches, events, and other locations to capture important moments as they happen.
• Make complex technology compelling. Work closely with engineers and operators to turn technical work into stories people can understand and get excited about.
• Own production from start to finish. Develop concepts, plan shoots,operatecameras, direct, edit, color, mix sound, and deliver finished work.
• Help Inversion publish like a media company. Create a steady stream of content for social, web, recruiting, sales, press, events, and other channels.
• Build our visual capabilities and archive. Own Inversion’s camera equipment and create an organized visual record of our people, hardware, tests, and milestones.
