Who We Are

As science and technology increasingly shape our lives, the Museum of Science strives to equip and inspire everyone to use science for the global good while keeping up with the pace of change. Among the world’s largest science centers and New England’s most attended cultural institution, we engage nearly five million people a year – at Science Park and in museums around the world, in classrooms, and online.

The Museum’s singular location connecting Boston and Cambridge puts us at the junction of some of the world’s most influential academic institutions and industries, local and state government, schools, and the public. Trusted by each sector, we are ideally positioned to convene, inspire, and create meaningful experiences for all. Come join us on our mission to inspire a lifelong love of science in everyone and living our vision for a world where science belongs to each of us for the good of all of us.

Why We Need You

In October 2026 the Museum will open the Public Science Common, a state-of-the-art convening and performance space for everything from daily science presentations, immersive theatre & dance productions, to high-profile spectacle events.

We are seeking a Video Supervisor to oversee and execute all video needs, and make meaningful contributions to the commissioning and opening of a new, global stage for science education. We are looking for a proactive collaborator to support all Museum stakeholders in using media to create compelling, memorable experiences for all audiences.

What You’ll Accomplish

• Supervise a video system consisting of motorized LED walls, as well as floor and wall projectors for immersive, two-plane video environments.
• Serve as a thought‑leader in video and projection design and collaborate with internal Museum departments and external partners in creating experiences for the Public Science Common, and venues across the Museum.
• Act as the Museum’s subject matter expert for video and projection, providing consultation and standards throughout planning, design, installation, commissioning, and ongoing operations.
• Collaborate with Technical Director and other Supervisors to create systems, procedures, and documentation to support an always‑on venue in a Museum that is open 7 days a week, 360 days a year. All staff are expected to develop familiarity with all venue systems, and be willing to assist across departments and cover when needed.
• This position will work a flexible schedule and run any complex or premiere events (with some nights and weekends required) and train staff members for daily, recurring operations.

What We’re Looking For (Competencies)

• Experienced with Panasonic & Christie video projectors, LED walls, and media servers.
• Experienced with building and running QLab workspaces. Ideally experienced with other video software such as Disguise, Isadora, Resolume, TouchDesigner, or have a willingness to learn.
• Experienced with Adobe suite (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop) and media creation software. Additional experience with game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine, or 3D modeling software like Maya a plus.
• Experienced with capturing video and live camera switching, for livestream and recorded events. Able to combine content and live cameras on multiple surfaces for a complete video design.
• Comfortable working at heights of ~25’ on a tension wire grid, as well as from ladders and personnel lifts. Comfortable working in backstage show conditions including but not limited to: fog, haze, strobes, dim lights, and loud sounds.

This is a fully onsite position.
