Overview

i3 is proud to help our nation’s military personnel make the transition to civilian careers through the Department of Defense (DoD) SkillBridge program. These opportunities are specifically for transitioning service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through an individual internship during their last 6 months of service, for up to 180 days. Participants are not eligible for compensation as they continue to receive military compensation and benefits as active-duty service members.i3 will consider any active-duty member that is eligible for the DoD SkillBridge program; however, for immediate consideration, we are looking for Military members to fill the following role:

+ Graphic Designer

Responsibilities

As a Graphic Designer, you will be responsible for a variety of digital products based in Captivate and the Unity game engine. You will work with highly skilled and motivated delivery teams made of Instructional Systems Designers (ISDs), Software Engineers, 3D Artists, and Tech Leads to design, develop, test, build, and deploy customer training software — and have a blast doing it.

i3’s ideal candidate is responsible for supporting all kinds of design efforts of these digital products, validating their efforts with the program Creative Leadership and other Creative Operations team members regularly to accomplish this. They are responsible for the accurate implementation of their eventual designs into the game engine, as well, and work closely with our Software Engineers to ensure this.

Our ideal candidate workshops their efforts with the Creative Director and Creative Operations team weekly to ensure their designs and implementations are cohesive. They’re cool to hang with critique and can pick up brand standards and iterate on them easily.

Our ideal candidate also has a portfolio that demonstrates the core competencies of a graphic designer. In fact,it is required that you submit an online portfolio and/or website of your work with your application.

While the best Graphic Designer portfolios typically display a proficiency in general graphic design, other efforts in motion graphics, branding and logomark design, collaborations with other folks, and video work all won’t hurt. We also recommend galleries with lots of pretty pictures demonstrating an understanding of typography and principles of design. Impress us.

Primary Responsibilities:

+ Specialization in producing high-fidelity 2D graphics.

+ Craft motion graphics and ensure implementation by software engineers is solid.

+ Design for desktop-based and/or tablet-based UIs.

+ Gather and evaluate user requirements in collaboration with software engineers and other stakeholders.

+ Illustrate design ideas to product stakeholders using mockups as needed.

+ Provide feedback to software engineers as designs are implemented to ensure user experience is cohesive and accurate.

+ Regularly workshop efforts with the Creative Director and the Creative Operations team to maintain a cohesive design and user experience of the digital product.

+ Leverage design thinking and questioning techniques to develop strategies where pathways are not always clear.

Qualifications

SkillBridge Requirements:

+ Must be a current Active Duty Servicemember.

+ Must be separating from the Military within 180 days.

+ Will receive an honorable discharge.

+ Must be able to complete 40 hours per week.
