Graphic Designer, Merchandise & Swag

About Revel

Revel is building the next-generation software platform for controlling and interacting with mission-critical hardware across industries like aerospace, energy, robotics, and advanced manufacturing. Our tools replace outdated, complex systems with intuitive, high-performance interfaces that help engineers move faster and operate with precision.

We are a fast-growing startup with a strong engineering culture and a focus on solving deeply technical problems with clean, thoughtful design.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Graphic Designer focused on merchandise and swag to join our marketing team. This is a mid-senior level role (6+ years of experience) with high ownership over how Revel shows up in the physical world: the apparel and swag that investors, clients, partners, and teammates actually wear, use, and keep.

This person will drive our merch program end-to-end, from concept through production and fulfillment. You will design products people genuinely want, working within Revel's brand standards, and build a program that extends the brand across conferences, events, customer touchpoints, and team culture.

What You'll Do

Own Revel’s merchandise and swag program, developing new product concepts, collections, and drops that customers, prospects, partners, and teammates want to wear and use.

Concept and design apparel, swag, and physical goods (hats, tees, hoodies, stickers, patches, drinkware, desk items, event merch, limited-run pieces) from sketch to finished product.

Manage production end-to-end: source and vet vendors, prepare print-ready files and tech packs, review samples and proofs, and manage quality, timelines, and budgets.

Lead print and physical design projects for events, including conference materials, signage, booth elements, and packaging.

Design kits and gifting programs for customers, partners, recruits, new hires, and investors such as onboarding boxes and event swag bags.

Apply Revel's brand identity thoughtfully across physical products, and flag where the brand needs to stretch or evolve for new formats.

Create supporting visual assets for merch launches, including product mockups, photography direction, web store and Webflow assets, and social content.

Contribute to video treatments and light motion work that showcase products and drops.

Partner closely with the brand and product design team to keep merchandise consistent with product and marketing surfaces.

Track performance to inform what we make next.

Requirements

Experience managing production with vendors, including printers, embroiderers, and manufacturers, and a working knowledge of production methods (screen print, embroidery, DTG, enamel pins, woven labels, and so on).

Background in hard tech industries (aerospace, defense, robotics, etc.) or a genuine love of engineering culture.
