About The Position

Edison Scientific is seeking a versatile Designer to own day-to-day creative execution and bring the company’s brand to life. The role creates clear, compelling visual experiences across marketing, recruiting, events, executive communications, and company storytelling, translating high-level concepts into polished deliverables such as event experiences, conference collateral, investor presentations, recruiting materials, and brand systems. The Designer will help define and maintain a visual identity that feels distinctly Edison and develop scalable templates, systems, and assets for consistent, efficient design work. As needs evolve, the role may also contribute to product design; extensive product design experience is not required initially, but curiosity and enthusiasm for developing in that area are important. The position is based in San Francisco and works closely with operations, product, and leadership.

Requirements

Typically 3–5 years of professional design experience.
A portfolio demonstrating range in brand identity, event or exhibit design, marketing collateral, and presentation decks.
Expert-level Figma and Adobe Creative Suite skills.
A strong, defensible point of view on what constitutes good design, paired with tactful editing discipline.
Ability to reduce a design to its essential elements rather than adding unnecessary layers.
Comfort working quickly and independently on ambiguous, time-sensitive requests.

Nice To Haves

Motion or 3D experience, such as After Effects, Blender, or Cinema 4D.
Prior experience designing in-house for a fast-moving startup and owning output end to end.
Curiosity about product design and/or early exposure to it.
Genuine interest in Edison’s mission and the life sciences space.

Responsibilities

Own design execution across brand, events, recruiting, marketing, and executive communications.
Create event collateral, conference experiences, signage, presentations, digital assets, recruiting materials, and marketing content that elevate the Edison brand.
Maintain and evolve Edison’s sophisticated, minimal visual identity across every touchpoint.
Develop scalable templates, systems, and assets that enable great design work to be produced consistently and efficiently.
Use AI to work faster without replacing design judgment.
Take on product design work with Platform as bandwidth allows.
