Remote NA Research Engineer Storytelling

Requirements

• A portfolio demonstrating senior-level design judgment, strong conceptual thinking, and polished work that makes complex ideas understandable. • Experience shaping visual direction and delivering projects from early exploration through final production, with substantial hands-on contribution. • Strong graphic design fundamentals and experience creating flexible visual systems across digital or physical applications. • An experimental practice that includes prototyping, testing approaches, and learning new tools or formats as the idea requires. • The curiosity to understand unfamiliar research, ask precise questions, and preserve technical meaning rather than simplify it inaccurately. • The ability to guide collaborators, explain design decisions, synthesize feedback, and maintain momentum when a brief is still developing. • Experience with research storytelling, creative technology, interactive or experiential work, motion systems, or AI-assisted making is especially relevant.

Responsibilities

• Partner with researchers and creative leads to define the design problem, identify the essential story, and establish a clear visual direction. • Translate research concepts, methods, and findings into accurate visual narratives, checking interpretations and limitations with subject-matter experts. • Develop concepts and prototypes for experiments, demos, and experiences, using iterative making to test and refine creative possibilities. • Design across web, editorial, social, film, and experiential formats, maintaining a coherent visual idea as work moves between media. • Build reusable graphic systems, templates, and design patterns that support research communications and make future work easier to develop. • Guide design contributions from collaborators, give specific feedback, and maintain a high standard of typography, composition, and information design. • Own design delivery for complex workstreams, align priorities with partners, and adapt scope as research findings and production requirements evolve. • You might thrive in this role if you have:
