About Nox Metals. American factories deserve a supply chain that moves as fast as they do. Nox Metals is building it, along with the tools that run it. We’re a technology company with operations in Metro Detroit and Los Angeles, supplying aluminum plate, bar, and rounds to aerospace and defense manufacturers. We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible.
The role. We’re hiring a Cinematographer to make the work of rebuilding American manufacturing impossible to ignore. You will create distinctive films about our factories, customers, people, and technology, from fast-moving social content to polished brand and recruiting pieces.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can find a story on a noisy factory floor, light it safely, and carry a strong visual idea from planning through capture. You will work closely with marketing, recruiting, sales, and operations and travel between our facilities as production requires.
You will:
Develop visual treatments, shot lists, lighting plans, and production schedules
Direct and capture interviews, factory processes, product footage, and customer stories
Operate cinema cameras, lenses, lighting, audio, stabilization, and related production equipment
Work safely around active industrial equipment and follow all site requirements
Translate campaign goals into images with a recognizable Nox Metals point of view
Partner with editors and designers to plan coverage that cuts cleanly across formats
Organize, label, back up, and hand off footage and production notes reliably
Maintain equipment and improve our in-house production workflow
Balance planned productions with fast-turn opportunities from the floor
You are:
A strong visual storyteller with excellent composition, lighting, camera movement, and exposure judgment
Comfortable directing both experienced speakers and people who have never been on camera
Resourceful in imperfect, fast-moving environments
Organized about preproduction, releases, media management, and deadlines
Respectful of safety and the people doing the work
Curious about manufacturing, machinery, and the people who keep American industry moving
Low ego, collaborative, and willing to carry gear and solve the unglamorous problems
Nice to have:
Experience filming industrial, automotive, aerospace, documentary, or commercial work
Working knowledge of sound recording, color workflows, and motion-control tools
Experience creating vertical and short-form content without sacrificing craft
FAA Part 107 certification or experience coordinating drone shoots
Comfort using AI tools to improve research, planning, and production workflows
Benefits:
Equity in Nox Metals
Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
This role is full time and in person in either Los Angeles or Detroit, with travel between sites as needed.
