Full job description

We’re Sienci Labs. We’ve made it our business to bring previously industrial-only manufacturing technologies to the masses. Our company’s focus is on CNC routers. Just as 3D printing acts as an additive manufacturing technology to build up unique parts and products, CNC routers act as a subtractive manufacturing technology to remove material from a blank to create a finished part or product. We sell to over 70 countries, under our flagship AltMil and LongMill brands.

Position Summary:
As a Junior Motion Graphics Designer, you will support the creation of motion graphics, video content and 3D visuals for marketing, product launches, education and social media.

You’ll work closely with the Brand Manager and Marketing team to produce content that helps explain complex engineering concepts in a visually engaging and easy-to-understand way. This role blends motion graphics, basic-to-intermediate 3D animation, video editing and graphic design, with opportunities to grow into more advanced product visualization and animation systems over time.

You do not need to be an expert in everything—we are looking for strong fundamentals, creativity and a willingness to learn. Sienci Labs is a fast-growing company, that fosters a collaborative, supportive and opportunistic environment. If you're ready to roll with the punches at a tech-foraging, industry-defining company, then we'd love to hear from you.

Candidates looking to jump start their career are encouraged to apply.
