Edison Scientific builds and deploys AI scientist agents to accelerate science and the development of new medicines. The company is run by scientists and engineers from leading institutions across biology, physics, chemistry, and AI.
You will own the day-to-day creative execution that brings Edison's brand to life. You'll be responsible for creating clear, compelling visual experiences across marketing, recruiting, events, executive communications, and company storytelling.
Operating as a highly versatile designer, you'll transform high-level concepts into polished final deliverables, including event experiences, conference collateral, investor presentations, recruiting materials, and brand systems. You'll help define and maintain a visual identity that feels distinctly Edison.
As design needs evolve, you'll have opportunities to contribute to product design initiatives. Extensive product design experience is not required on day one, but curiosity and enthusiasm for growing in that direction are important given the broad scope of design at a fast-growing startup.
Key responsibilities include owning design execution across brand, events, recruiting, marketing, and executive communications; creating event collateral, conference experiences, signage, presentations, digital assets, recruiting materials, and marketing content; maintaining and evolving Edison's sophisticated, minimal visual identity across every touchpoint; developing scalable templates, systems, and assets that allow great design work to be produced consistently and efficiently; leveraging AI to move faster without replacing judgment; and picking up product design work with Platform as bandwidth allows.
This role is based in San Francisco and works closely with leadership, recruiting, marketing, product, and research teams.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 3–6 years of professional design experience with a portfolio demonstrating range: brand identity, event/exhibit design, marketing collateral, and decks
- Expert-level Figma and Adobe Creative Suite skills
- A strong, defensible point of view on what "good" looks like, paired with tactful editing discipline
- Ability to strip a design down to its essential elements rather than layering more on
- Comfort working fast and independently against ambiguous, time-sensitive requests
PREFERRED:
- Motion or 3D experience (After Effects, Blender, or Cinema 4D)
- Prior experience designing in-house for a fast-moving startup, where you owned output end to end
- Curiosity about product design and/or early exposure to it
- Genuine interest in Edison's mission and the life sciences space
