Video Producer

Job description

## **About Fuse** We are building one of the most potentially consequential companies of the century. Our mission is to accelerate the world's transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. This is not a normal company. This is not a normal job. We are committed for the long term to win. ## **About the Role** You'll shoot and edit the films that show what Fuse actually builds. You are responsible for the full chain: camera, lighting, sound, edit, and grade. This is cinematic, high-craft work inside a real pulsed-power facility — high-voltage machines, low-light labs, reflective metal, and hardware that needs to look on screen exactly like what it is. Behind the scenes precious moments of the build out of a fusion company – failures, the people, all the special moments. ## **What We Value** - Obsess about the details — sloppy work costs us later, so do it right the first time. - Care — pick up the trash. Do things no one asks you to do. Go the extra mile because you care. - Act with urgency — every hour matters more than it feels like it does. - Be responsible for the outcome, not just the task; if it is not working, it remains your problem until it is fixed. - Assume good intent — disagree openly, then commit fully once a call is made. ## **Core Responsibilities** - Shoot, edit, and deliver cinematic films that show Fuse's machines, people, tests, and technical work. - Be responsible for the full production process — camera, lighting, location audio, edit, color, and final delivery. - Develop scripts, concepts, and shoot plans with the creative team. - Produce everything from 2–3 minute launch films and technical explainers to vertical social content. - Work primarily as a one-person crew, bringing in additional production support for larger shoots when needed. - Build and maintain a searchable footage library so new work never starts from zero. - Collaborate with the rest of the creative team to ensure cohesive positioning and branding. ## **Minimum Qualifications** - Exceptional reel demonstrating professional cinematography and editing; this is a portfolio hire. - Command of camera, lighting, location audio, editing, and color grading. - Ability to shoot difficult environments including low light, high contrast, reflective metal, and industrial hardware. - Ability to independently take a project from concept and shoot through finished film. - Experience using AI video-generation tools as part of a professional production workflow. - Strong judgment sourcing and integrating stock footage when needed. ## **Preferred Qualifications** - Experience filming in industrial, laboratory, cleanroom, aerospace, defense, or access-restricted environments. - Motion graphics or 3D experience for technical explainers. - Strong still-photography portfolio. ## **Additional Requirements** - This is not a remote position and will require relocation if not already local to Fuse's San Leandro, CA facility. - Position occasionally requires the ability to work extended hours and weekends when needed. - Position may require some business travel to other Fuse facilities. ## **Benefits** - Medical, dental, and vision coverage. - Relocation assistance for roles that require it. - Flexible time off. Take what you need, no accrual tracking. - 2 weeks of paid time off built into the end of each year (subject to team and business needs). - Supportive leave of absence policies. - Paid leave for new parents. ## **ITAR Requirements** To conform to U.S. Government technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. ## **Equal Opportunity** Fuse is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with Fuse is governed on the basis of merit, competence, and qualifications and will not be influenced by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, ancestry, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability, or any other legally protected status.
