Digital Design Engineer

Job Title: Communications & Design Lead

Job Description

We are seeking a skilled communications and design professional to help shape and elevate the Digital Engineering brand. In this role, you will create high-impact presentations, narratives, and visual materials that clearly communicate our strategy, initiatives, and business value — including GenAI and other digital transformation efforts. You will work closely with engineering leaders, product managers, and technical teams to translate complex technical work into compelling stories that resonate with executives, partners, and broader business audiences. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong visual design skills with strategic communication and the ability to understand technical content.

Responsibilities

• Lead the creation of polished, executive-ready presentations that communicate Digital Engineering strategy, progress, and business impact.
• Translate complex technical topics, such as GenAI, automation, and systems engineering modernization, into clear, engaging narratives tailored to different audiences.
• Develop and maintain a cohesive visual identity and branding approach for Digital Engineering.
• Partner with engineering and product leaders to craft messaging for reviews, strategy sessions, roadmaps, and cross-functional updates.
• Create diagrams, infographics, and visual frameworks that simplify technical workflows, architectures, and value streams.
• Build reusable templates, slide libraries, and communication assets that improve consistency and efficiency.
• Support change management and adoption efforts by producing clear, compelling materials that help teams understand the 'why' and 'how' behind digital initiatives.
• Ensure all communications reinforce clarity, credibility, and alignment with enterprise branding standards.
• Provide guidance to teams on effective storytelling, visual communication, and message framing.

Essential Skills

• Proficiency in PowerPoint, AI, and presentation design (PowerPoint, Google Slides, or similar).
• Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Marketing, Graphic Design, Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 4 years of experience in communications, branding, design, or technical storytelling roles.
• Strong writing, editing, and narrative building skills.
• Proven ability to simplify and communicate technical concepts for non-technical audiences.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience supporting digital transformation, engineering, or technology organizations.
• Familiarity with GenAI concepts and the ability to incorporate them into messaging and visuals.
• Proficiency with design tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Figma, or Canva.
• Experience creating infographics, visual frameworks, or conceptual diagrams.
• Understanding of change management communication principles.
• Ability to coach others on effective communication and presentation techniques.
• Experience collaborating with technical teams and leaders.
• Strong visual design sense, including layout, hierarchy, and information design.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize effectively, and deliver high-quality work under tight timelines.

Work Environment

The role requires a creative professional who can produce WOW presentations that are modern and engaging, leaving teams inspired. You will help brand the AI team and drive its integration across the organization. Communicating effectively about ongoing and upcoming projects is crucial, as is the ability to use data to tell our story. The work involves creating engaging graphics, likely using Adobe Illustrator, and requires proficiency with design tools to translate ideas into visual formats. The candidate should have a keen interest in AI and the ability to engage others with its potential.
