Key Graphic Designer

Recently a friend of mine tapped me on the shoulder because he is funding a really hot startup in Silicon Valley. It is a very very stealthy (for a reason) startup and there is plenty of money The goal is to revolutionize the green-tech space through a rather remarkable consumer device. A Bunch of Ex-apple guys as well as ex- Google and Twitter guys. This is truly the stuff that makes Silicon Valley legendary. On top of that the product is good for the world and the business model is awesome.

We are looking for a graphic/visual designer who does really clean and clever work, someone who is on the cutting edge of design and really wants to make a huge splash – this product will showcase your work and get you unbelievable visibility. .Your talents are in illustration, interaction, animation. You love simplicity, and you know that making something seem obvious means hours of toil to trim away confusion. Length of experience is not important, but you must show great work at some level and mad skills.

Looking for someone in consumer design, including games. Illustration skills. Photoshop / Illustrator / Aftereffects / Avid / other software packages that top-end designers like. Coding skills like Flash or esp. HTML5 is great but not necessary. Any interest in science (physics or math background, engineering training) is huge. Consumer consumer consumer. Pure corporate- or Web interest is not appropriate. This is a dream gig for someone who has had some success but wants to work at a startup.
