  • Present concepts regularly to design leadership, demonstrating design courage and a willingness to challenge convention.
  • Mentor and support less experienced designers to help elevate their craft and design execution.
  • Operate effectively under general guidance and deliver high‑quality work within a deadline‑driven environment.

  • 5+ years of experience in exterior automotive design (production, advanced, or both).
  • Strong sketching, ideation, and visual storytelling abilities.
  • Proven ability to deliver high‑quality design solutions from concept through refinement.
  • Experience working collaboratively with sculpting, engineering, and cross‑functional teams.
  • Strong presentation skills and comfort sharing ideas with leadership.
  • Portfolio demonstrating strong exterior design craftsmanship, creativity, and process.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

  • Experience with common design tools such as:
  • Photoshop (2D visualization)
  • Blender or other 3D modeling tools
  • Vizcom or AI‑assisted concept tools
  • Alias or similar automotive surfacing/visualization tools
