About the Role

We are seeking a highly detail-oriented Pre-Press Technical Designer to support the production and fabrication workflow of custom signage projects. This role is focused on preparing approved artwork for manufacturing rather than creating original designs. The ideal candidate understands how signage is physically produced and can translate design files into organized, production-ready assets that support fabrication, routing, printing, and assembly processes.

You will work closely with production and project teams to ensure files are accurate, properly structured, and optimized for efficient manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare approved artwork files for signage fabrication and production.
• Break down complex designs into organized layers, components, cut files, and production-ready assets.
• Create accurate cut files and production packages.
• Organize and optimize Adobe Illustrator files, including vector paths, layers, clipping masks, and artwork structure.
• Develop fabrication documentation and file breakdowns that clearly communicate production requirements.
• Review artwork and identify potential production issues before fabrication begins.
• Ensure all files meet technical specifications and quality standards.
• Collaborate with project managers, production teams, and fabricators to support smooth project execution.
• Maintain consistency, organization, and documentation standards across all projects.
• Support a high-volume production environment while managing multiple projects simultaneously.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience using Adobe Illustrator.
• Strong technical expertise with vector artwork, layers, paths, clipping masks, and file preparation.
• Experience in pre-press, sign fabrication, large-format printing, or a related technical production environment.
• Understanding of how dimensional signs are constructed and how artwork translates into physical components.
• Experience creating cut sheets and preparing files for routers, CNC machines, or other production equipment.
• Excellent attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and maintain efficiency in a high-volume production environment.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Previous experience working in a sign manufacturing or sign fabrication company.
• Background in large-format print production.
• Experience in technical drawing, architecture, engineering, or another field involving detailed technical documentation.
• Familiarity with production workflows and manufacturing processes.

Benefits

• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM CST
• Compensation: $2,500 USD/month (Open to negotiation)
• PTO
• 100% remote work environment
• Independent contractor position
