Automotive Visualization & Livery Designer

Automotive Visualisation and Graphic Designer (x2)

This highly specialized role operates at the intersection of brand identity, high‑performance aesthetics, and cutting‑edge digital visualisation. The designer will develop compelling graphic design languages, translate 2D concepts into complex decals and vehicle liveries, and visualise these themes across 3D automotive surfaces.

• 2D Graphic Design Excellence
  • Drive the creation and development of high‑impact graphic design concepts based on design briefs.
  • Visualise cohesive 2D graphic themes, typography, badging, and visual elements tailored to automotive products and components.
• 3D Graphic Design Execution
  • Demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of complex 3D vehicle surfaces.
  • Translate, map, and adapt 2D graphic layouts onto physical and digital 3D vehicle envelopes to ensure distortion‑free, perfectly aligned replication.
• Cross‑Disciplinary Collaboration
  • Collaborate with Exterior, Interior, and Component Designers, and Clay/Digital Modelers to harmonise graphic design applications with the vehicle’s overall surface language and design intent.
• Visualization & VR
  • Prepare highly detailed digital models for high‑end rendering and real‑time Virtual Reality reviews to facilitate design evaluations, immersive presentations, and senior leadership sign‑offs.
• Workflow Innovation
  • Explore, pilot, and integrate emerging design technologies including AI‑assisted creation tools, generative design, and parametric workflows.
• Prototyping & Validation
  • Prepare and scale 2D vector plots for physical decal and livery prototyping.
  • Handle hands‑on application and alignment of graphics onto physical surfaces.

• 2D Design Mastery – Expert‑level command of Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Illustrator and Photoshop.
• 3D Visualization – High proficiency in industry‑standard visualisation and rendering software, specifically Autodesk VRED and/or Unreal Engine.

• Experience with polygonal modelling/mapping tools (Blender or Autodesk Maya) and familiarity with cutting‑edge AI‑assisted design applications (e.g., Vizcom).
• Soft skills – Clear communication, strong organisation, and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, exploratory environment.

• Graphic design mastery with a deep, intuitive understanding of diverse vehicle typologies, proportions, and surface languages.
• Uncompromising eye for detail, balance, and technical precision when executing graphic elements on complex 3D volumes.
• Proven ability to resolve spatial and technical challenges during the design phase, iteratively refining creative graphics into viable, production‑ready applications.
• Familiarity with professional product development workflows (GPDS or similar).
• Ability to pivot between distinct brand aesthetics ranging from heritage‑inspired motor sport liveries and performance decals to minimalist, tech‑focused, or lifestyle‑trend graphics.

Proven experience in professional graphic design within the automotive sector, with a track record of successful decal, stripe, badge, or livery design programmes.

Bachelor’s degree in Graphic/Automotive/Transportation Design, Industrial Design, Digital Modelling, or equivalent practical experience.
