Job Description
Video Editor / Motion Designer | Nox Metals | Detroit, MI or Los Angeles, CA
About Nox Metals. American factories deserve a supply chain that moves as fast as they do. Nox Metals 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 Nox Metals.
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.
You will:
· 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
You are:
· 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
Nice to have:
· 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 Nox Metals
· Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
