Social Media Manager / Video Editor in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at Opulo, Inc

What we're building

Our vision is to make it easy and accessible to manufacture a product. We're starting with a desktop Pick and Place machine, used to assemble electronic components onto circuit boards.

Existing Pick and Place machines are expensive and can require high-pressure air and three phase power. Some only accept job files on a floppy disk. Traditionally, Pick and Place machines have only been used by large companies with factory space, so that's how they're designed.

But they don't need to be this way. Our machines facilitate mid-scale manufacturing, where you make your product at a moderate scale before making the risky and expensive jump to a factory contract. With our hardware, anyone can do a production run of their product in-house.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone that is excited by our vision, has experience with video editing, and is excited to wear a ton of hats. We're a small team growing quickly. There will be constant opportunity to take on new responsibilities and have serious impact on the direction of the company.

You will be responsible for helping us develop and expand Opulo's social media presence. This includes pulling from our extensive footage library, brainstorming video ideas, and filming and editing together compelling video and photo content for social media. You will show people that a desktop PnP can help them design and iterate way faster than they thought possible. You will work closely with leadership and our existing content schedule to refine Opulo's voice, and structure a holistic media strategy for the company. If you're excited at the idea of taking ownership and trying new things, we want you as Opulo's Social Media Manager.
