Pre-Flight Production Artist

Ever wondered who saves the day before a design comes to life?

What You’ll Do

This is a technical role where you’ll:

• Review incoming art files for production readiness
• Prepare separations and production-ready files for screenprint
• Proof embroidery orders and prepare stitch-ready files
• Troubleshoot file issues (overprint settings, improper vector construction, minimum design requirements, etc.)
• Troubleshoot press issues (colors shifting on press, artwork not appearing as expected once printed)
• Communicate clearly with internal teams when artwork and/or orders need adjustment

What We’re Looking For

• Strong attention to detail (seriously — pixel-level detail)
• Basic to intermediate knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven team environment
• Problem-solving mindset and willingness to think creatively when files don’t cooperate
• Ability to follow processes and double-check your work
• Previous screenprint and/or digitizing experience is a plus

You do not need to know everything on day one. We will train you. But you must be eager to learn and comfortable working in technical systems.

Why Join Pre-Flight?

Pre-Flight is where you build foundational production knowledge that many designers never master.

You’ll gain:

• Deep understanding of screenprint processes 
• Foundational knowledge of embroidery digitizing and proofing
• Real-world color theory application
• Efficiency in Illustrator and working knowledge of Photoshop
• Troubleshooting skills that feel like superpowers

If you enjoy solving puzzles and working with a team to bring designs to life, Pre-Flight may be your perfect fit!
