About The Position

NODA AI is a Veteran-owned, venture-backed technology company that is transforming how unmanned systems collaborate in complex, mission-critical environments. We are developing next-generation solutions that enable the autonomous orchestration of heterogeneous unmanned systems across air, sea, land, and space with vital applications in the defense, intelligence, and commercial sectors. Our marketing organization plays a critical role in shaping how our company, technology, and vision are understood across the defense ecosystem. We are building a function that moves with the business, aligning corporate strategy, business development priorities, product innovation, and market engagement to accelerate growth. Joining NODA means working on meaningful technology that pushes the boundaries of autonomy alongside a team that thrives on innovation, rapid iteration, and collaboration. We are seeking a Senior Graphic Designer to serve as NODA's visual communications expert, enabling the marketing organization through creative excellence across print, digital, experiential, technical, and executive communications. You will partner closely with Integrated Marketing, Events & Field Marketing, Business Development, Product Management, Engineering, Video Production, and Executive Leadership to translate strategy, messaging, and technical capabilities into compelling visual experiences. Your work will span the full creative lifecycle, from concept development and technical visualization through production and quality assurance. You will design across social media graphics and digital campaigns, executive presentations, trade show exhibits, technical illustrations, websites, environmental graphics, and customer-facing experiences. Success in this role requires creative versatility, exceptional attention to detail, a bias toward action, and a deep understanding of the defense ecosystem. You will be equally comfortable producing polished executive communications, developing technical graphics from engineering concepts, editing photography, designing large-format event graphics, and creating digital experiences that strengthen NODA's brand and support business growth.
