Boulder Imaging is hiring: Jr. Art Director in Louisville

About Boulder Imaging

For over 30 years, Boulder Imaging has engineered intelligent vision systems for the moments where precision isn’t optional. Where the right call, made in milliseconds, protects a species, saves a product, or safeguards a critical inspection.
Our technology is at work across fifteen countries and six continents. IdentiFlight, our bird protection system, watches open skies and identifies bald eagles and protected species before a wind turbine can harm them. Vision Inspector products catch defects on manufacturing lines where the quality of the product is paramount. The work is technically demanding, the impact tangible, and the mission worth showing up for.
We believe in pushing the boundaries of what machine vision can achieve, and the most exciting applications are still ahead of us.
Requirements

The Role

We’re looking for a nimble, hands‑on Art Director who can set the visual standard for our brand and produce the work to match. This is a maker’s role as much as a director’s: one day you’re art‑directing a campaign and building polished assets in Illustrator, the next you’re using AI tools to generate concepts, renderings, and video. You’ll translate complex technology into visuals that are clear, striking, and unmistakably ours. You’ll move fast across formats and audiences, raise the craft on everything we ship, and bring an experimental edge that keeps our work ahead of the curve.
If you’re equally excited by a perfectly kerned layout and by what the latest generative tools can do, this position is in your wheelhouse.
What You’ll Do

Art Direction & Branding

Own the visual direction of campaigns, content, and brand expression across digital, print, web, and events
Establish and evolve our visual identity, ensuring consistency across every touchpoint
Art‑direct photography, illustration, video, and design — whether produced in‑house or with partners

Design & Production

Skills to design and build production‑ready assets in Illustrator, InDesign (and the broader Creative Suite)
Produce a wide range of deliverables: campaign graphics, sales and trade‑show collateral, web and social assets, presentations, and data visualizations
Turn technical and scientific concepts into clear, compelling visuals that pique our audience’s interest
AI‑Powered Creative

Native fluency in AI creative tools to accelerate and expand what we produce; concepting, content generation, image and video creation, and product/scene renderings
Develop and refine prompts, workflows, and pipelines that integrate AI into our creative process
Stay ahead of emerging tools and bring the best of them into our work
Pair AI speed with human art direction so the output stays on‑brand and high‑craft
Collaboration & Workflow

Partner with the Director of Marketing and cross‑functional teams to bring campaigns and the website to life
Manage multiple projects and deadlines without sacrificing quality
Give and take creative feedback that makes the work better

5+ years in art direction or production design, ideally spanning brand, campaign, and content work
Solid foundational abilities in Adobe Illustrator and the wider Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign; After Effects a plus)
Demonstrated AI creative chops: hands‑on experience with generative tools for image, video, rendering, and content (e.g., Midjourney, Firefly, Runway, Nano Banana or similar), with some work that proves it
Nimble and versatile: comfortable shifting between high‑level direction and rolling up your sleeves to produce on short notice
A strong, current design sensibility and exceptional attention to craft and detail
Ability to make complex or technical subject matter visually clear and exciting
Self‑directed and organized, able to juggle many projects in a fast‑moving environment
A standout portfolio demonstrating both classic art direction and modern, AI‑assisted work
Bonus: motion/video editing, 3D or rendering experience
