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

• Drive the creation and development of high-impact graphic design concepts based on design briefs.
• Visualize cohesive 2D graphic themes, typography, badging, and visual elements tailored specifically for automotive products and components.
• 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.
• Collaborate seamlessly with Exterior, Interior, and Component Designers, as well as Clay/Digital Modelers, to harmonize graphic design applications with the vehicle’s overall surface language and design intent.
• Prepare highly detailed digital models for high-end rendering and real-time Virtual Reality (VR) reviews to facilitate design evaluations, immersive presentations, and senior leadership sign-offs.
• Actively explore, pilot, and integrate emerging design technologies including AI-assisted creation tools, generative design, and parametric workflows to accelerate and elevate the creative process.
• Prepare and scale 2D vector plots for physical decal and livery prototyping, and handle the hands-on application and alignment of graphics onto physical surfaces.

• Expert-level command of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator and Photoshop).
• High proficiency with industry-standard visualization and rendering software, specifically Autodesk VRED and/or Unreal Engine.

• Experience with polygonal modeling/mapping tools such as Blender or Autodesk Maya and familiarity with cutting-edge AI-assisted design applications (e.g., Vizcom).

• Clear communication, strong organization, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, exploratory environment.

• 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, beautifully integrated production- or show-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, minimalist, tech-focused to lifestyle-trend graphics.

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

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