Senior Videographer & Editor, Brand Studio

Most video work in defense and aerospace looks like it was made to satisfy a checklist. We are building something different.

Castelion is building its brand studio from the ground up, and we are looking for a Senior Videographer & Editor who brings serious craft to every stage of production: from the moment you frame a shot to the final grade. You are a visual storyteller first. You know how to make industrial environments look extraordinary, how to find the human story inside a technical one, and how to hold that quality whether the deliverable is a three-minute brand film or a 30-second cut for social.

The content you create will be how the world comes to understand what Castelion is building and why it matters. That is not a small thing.

If you have a portfolio that demonstrates range, precision, social media fluency, and a point of view, keep reading.

AREAS OF IMPACT

Edit and Post-Production

• Own the edit from assembly cut through final delivery: pacing, color grading, sound design, and motion graphics

• Work across formats and lengths: brand films, product documentation, executive communications, event recaps, and social cuts; maintain Castelion's visual standards across all of them

• Write to picture when needed: scripting, captions, and on-screen text that are accurate, tight, and calibrated to the audience

Cinematography and On-Set

• Shoot on location and in studio across a range of environments, including manufacturing facilities, test sites, and controlled or access-restricted settings

• Handle camera operation, lighting setup, and audio capture with the technical rigor that complex industrial environments demand

• Collaborate with the Senior Producer on shoot planning, ensuring creative intent and technical execution are aligned before the day begins

Multi-Format Distribution

• Deliver content optimized for the full range of Castelion's channels, including long-form web (YouTube) and short-form social (Shorts, LinkedIn, X); understand how format shapes storytelling decisions without letting it drive them

• Create platform variants from primary edits, knowing when a reformat serves the work and when it doesn't

• Use performance data as one input among many, informing decisions without replacing editorial judgment

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work directly with engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure content reflects the technical accuracy and precision Castelion's products demand

• Engage, manage, and route content requests from business partners across the company including HR, Government Relations, and the executive team

• Translate complex technical subject matter into visual stories that are accurate, compelling, and accessible to a broad audience

Content Innovation

• Push the visual standard for what defense and aerospace content can look and feel like: in any format, at any length

• Use AI-assisted production and post-production tools where they serve the work, with a clear perspective on where human creative judgment is irreplaceable

• Help build the creative foundation of a brand studio that is still being defined

THE CANDIDATE WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• You lead with craft: the requirements from each platform inform your decisions, but they do not make them for you

• You know how to find the visual story in an environment most people would walk past without stopping

• You have strong opinions about what makes an edit work and the communication skills to defend them

• You are as comfortable on set as you are in the edit bay; you bring the same level of care to both

• You have likely built something from scratch before and know the feeling of owning a result end to end

You are drawn to work that carries genuine weight. The work here at Castelion has it in abundance.

WHAT YOU BRING

Required

• 5 or more years of video production experience spanning both shooting and editing, with a portfolio that demonstrates range across formats, lengths, and production scales

• Demonstrated craft in cinematography, editing, and color grading with work that shows you can make technically complex environments look compelling

• Deep experience with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop, and Lightroom

• Demonstrated experience shooting in technically complex or restricted environments, including aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or comparable industrial settings

• Fluency with motion graphics and 2D animation as storytelling tools, whether executed personally or in collaboration with specialists

• Familiarity with AI-assisted production and post-production workflows and a clear point of view on how these tools serve, rather than replace, creative judgment

• Extreme attention to detail without losing sight of the larger narrative goal

Preferred

• Experience shooting with camera systems from Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Arri, and Blackmagic

• Background in documentary, long-form brand, or editorial video

• Prior work inside an in-house creative team at a technology, aerospace, or defense company

• Familiarity with social analytics tools and comfort using performance data as one input into creative decisions

• Familiarity with ITAR requirements and the operational realities of producing content in a classified or access-restricted facility
