Role at a Glance

As a Motion Designer at Gecko Robotics, you will be the bridge between static design and cinematic storytelling. We are looking for a "Graphic Designer with an innate sense of pacing and rhythm.” Someone with a relentless eye for taste, composition, and technical detail. You won’t just be "creating graphics"; you’ll be defining how our brand feels in motion, from animating interfaces to creating 3D overlays on industrial robotics footage. You are a go-getter who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is obsessed with the future of AI & Robotics. We hope you can join us for a 10-15 week internship in Pittsburgh, PA.

What you will do

• Motion Branding: Transform static campaign visuals into living, moving works using a catalogue of cinematic robot footage and cutting edge software interfaces, from around the world of critical infrastructure.

• Post-Production Polish: Collaborate with the Videographer to enhance footage with technical overlays, motion-tracked graphics, and 2D/3D elements. The end result is not just cool- it connects Gecko’s capabilities with direct impacts to the world.

• Software Visualization: Create compelling "product-in-action" advertisements by animating our software UI to demonstrate value and functionality.

• Full-Spectrum Design: Execute high-end 2D graphic design for diverse assets including brand ads, event posters, and presentation decks.
