Videographer / Photographer

Grounded RV • Detroit, MI

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Grounded is a 25-person Detroit-based startup building modular electric platforms for specialty vehicles. We take cab chassis from OEMs like Ford and Harbinger and build configurable vehicle systems on top, serving mobile healthcare, RVs, command centers, food and beverage, pet care, and more. We also build our own software: a mobile app, fleet dashboard, and onboard computer system that lets customers monitor and control vehicle systems remotely. We design, fabricate, and assemble everything in-house at our facility in Corktown.

We're looking for a videographer/photographer to capture cinematic content of our electric RVs, mobile clinics, command centers, and food trucks, as well as the moments on the factory floor where they come together. This role involves shooting and editing your own work with a fast turnaround, making the factory and finished vehicles look as good as they deserve. It's a hands-on role, with some days following a shot list and direction, and other days finding content independently on the build floor. The output should be finished cuts ready to post.

Requirements

• A real portfolio of work you personally shot and edited, not just directed or produced
• Genuinely skilled with a camera — comfortable with a variety of formats and lighting conditions, and able to make tricky spaces and environments look stunning
• Fast, clean editing in Premiere, CapCut, DaVinci, or similar
• A strong visual eye — you can make a factory floor look cinematic
• Self-directed once you have a shot list — you don't need hand-holding to get a great result
• Based in or able to be on-site in Detroit — this role can't be remote

Nice To Haves

• Automotive, hardware, or manufacturing shoot experience
• Color grading experience
• Basic motion graphics or design (After Effects, Figma)
• Sound design or mixing for short-form video

Responsibilities

• Shoot photo and video on-site: builds in progress, finished vehicles, customer deliveries, and behind-the-scenes content
• Edit everything to a high standard on a quick turnaround — fast delivery matters as much as the final cut
• Work in flexible setups: sometimes from a shot list and direction from the team, sometimes staying alert and engaged with the build floor to shoot self-directed content
• Turn vehicle reveals and customer deliveries into short-form video that actually holds attention
• Capture stills for the website, decks, and ads alongside video
• Keep raw footage and finished assets organized in a media library — nothing gets lost on a hard drive
• Deliver finished cuts ready to post — no separate editor needed downstream

Benefits

• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Equity in the company
