Technical Marketing Graphic Designer - Public Safety, Military and Emergency Communications

We are a U.S.-based manufacturer of specialized communications equipment used by military organizations, public-safety agencies, emergency-management teams, government customers, and industrial users.

We are seeking a skilled graphic designer who can create serious, credible, technically accurate marketing and product materials. We are looking for a long-term creative partner who can help establish and maintain a consistent visual identity across our technical documents, advertising, website, presentations, trade shows, and digital marketing.

This is not a general social-media design position.

Our products are technical, and our customers expect clarity, accuracy, professionalism, and an understanding of operational environments. The visual style must appeal to military, public-safety, emergency-management, industrial, and government audiences - not consumer or lifestyle markets.

Projects may include:
Product brochures and sell sheets
Capability statements
Technical manuals and installation guides
Downloadable customer forms and checklists
Fillable PDF documents
Product configuration and quote-request worksheets
Website graphics and banners
LinkedIn advertisements and downloadable social-media content
Trade-show and conference materials
Technical diagrams, product callouts, icons, and illustrations
Presentation graphics and PowerPoint presentations
Product-image cleanup and retouching
Comparison charts and application graphics
Product launch materials
Print-ready and web-ready PDFs
Short product and demonstration videos
LinkedIn video clips
Trade-show videos
Basic training and instructional videos

Required Software Skills
Applicants should have professional experience with:
Adobe InDesign for brochures, product sheets, manuals, capability statements, forms, and multi-page technical documents
Adobe Illustrator for diagrams, technical illustrations, icons, vector graphics, and large-format materials
Adobe Photoshop for product-photo editing, image cleanup, website graphics, and marketing visuals
Adobe Acrobat for preparing, optimizing, and creating downloadable and fillable PDF documents

Experience with Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word is also important for professional presentations and technical-document formatting.

Preferred Video Skills: Video editing experience is strongly preferred. Helpful programs and capabilities include:
Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe After Effects
DaVinci Resolve
Camtasia
Basic motion graphics and animation
Editing product demonstrations, training content, trade-show footage, and short social-media videos
Adding titles, captions, transitions, music, voiceover, and branded graphics
Exporting video in the correct formats and dimensions for websites, presentations, LinkedIn, and other digital platforms

Experience with product photography, photo staging, WordPress, or basic HTML/CSS is a plus but is not required.

The work should feel: Professional, Technical, Operational, Clean, Modern, Trustworthy, Accurate, Appropriate for government and defense audiences

We are not looking for trendy social-media templates, overly decorative designs, or consumer-style advertising.

The ideal candidate understands how to make a complex technical product look polished and compelling without changing, obscuring, or misrepresenting the product.

Technical Accuracy and Attention to Detail

Attention to detail is critical.
Product labels, connectors, control names, warning labels, screen displays, buttons, cables, dimensions, and other technical features must remain accurate in all marketing materials.

The designer must be able to improve product photographs and layouts without inventing features, changing equipment details, removing important markings, or creating misleading representations.

The candidate must be able to:
Follow brand and formatting requirements closely, Organize technical information clearly, Maintain consistency across multiple documents and campaigns, Prepare files correctly for print, web, presentations, and social media, Create editable source files that can be updated later, Communicate clearly and ask questions when technical information is uncertain

Please provide relevant examples of:
-Product brochures
-Technical product sheets
-Capability statements
-Technical-document layouts
-Manuals or installation guides
-Downloadable forms or fillable PDFs
-Trade-show graphics
-Presentation materials
-Product-photo editing
-Technical diagrams or infographics
-Short product, training, or promotional videos
-Before-and-after redesign work

Please identify which examples you personally created and which software you used.

Applicants whose portfolios consist mainly of logos, restaurant promotions, fashion graphics, wedding materials, or generic social-media posts may not be a good fit for this position. The goal is not to create the flashiest design.

The goal is to demonstrate the ability to:
Present technical information clearly
Maintain product accuracy
Follow instructions
Create an appropriate visual style for military, public-safety, and government customers
Deliver organized, editable source files

Begin your application with: “Technical communication requires clarity.”
