We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Industrial Photographer to join our vehicle engineering team. The successful candidate will play a critical role in supporting engineering projects by capturing high-quality still photographs and high-speed video footage of vehicles, components, and testing processes. This position requires technical expertise in photography and videography, a collaborative approach, and the ability to work in a dynamic industrial environment. Flexibility needed in working different shifts on occasion or longer-term assignment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Capture clear, high-resolution still photographs of vehicles, prototypes, assemblies, and engineering tests for documentation, analysis, and presentation purposes.

• Operate high-speed video cameras to record vehicle tests and dynamic events, ensuring critical moments are captured for detailed engineering review.

• Collaborate with engineers, technicians, and project managers to understand specific imaging requirements and adapt techniques to best support engineering objectives.

• Set up and calibrate lighting, backdrops, and camera equipment in laboratory, workshop, and outdoor environments to achieve optimal image quality.

• Edit, process, and catalog photographic and video assets, ensuring accurate labeling and secure storage for future reference and compliance needs.

• Maintain and troubleshoot photographic and video equipment, including high-speed cameras, lenses, lighting, and supporting hardware.
