About Castelion

Castelion is bringing a new approach to defense development and production: short, iterative design cycles, rapid testing, and modern commercial manufacturing strategies built for scale. We're designing, building, and testing next generation long range strike weapons systems to give America and its Allies a definitive edge and deter future conflicts. The Brand Studio you will help build is how the world comes to understand that mission.

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 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
