About the role
Develop and execute digital models that transform styling concepts into production-feasible product solutions. Collaborate with designers, engineers, and cross-functional teams to create visually compelling, manufacturable digital surfaces and product geometry that support product development objectives. Utilize advanced digital modeling, surfacing, visualization, and problem-solving skills to translate design intent into high-quality digital assets while balancing aesthetics, functionality, feasibility, and brand requirements. May serve as PIC (Person In Charge) for assigned components, systems, or specialty areas.
Responsibilities
- Develop high-quality 3D digital models that accurately translate styling intent into production-feasible surfaces and geometry.
- Create and release digital package, concept, and production data that meets styling, engineering, manufacturing, and program requirements.
- Collaborate with designers, engineers, suppliers, and global teams to resolve styling and feasibility challenges throughout product development.
- Serve as PIC for assigned components or specialty areas, coordinating deliverables and supporting project milestones.
- Support design reviews through digital visualization, presentations, and model evaluation activities.
- Identify and resolve styling, packaging, quality, and manufacturability concerns while maintaining design intent.
- Ensure digital data quality, accuracy, and compliance with established development standards.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of digital modeling tools, workflows, and development processes.
- Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and digital development methods to support innovation and team capability growth.
Requirements
- 4+ years of professional digital modeling experience in transportation design, industrial design, or related fields.
- Strong proficiency in early-phase styling tools: Alias, CATIA, and/or Rhino preferred; Blender, Gravity, and Maya considered secondary tools.
- Strong proficiency with A-Class modeling software necessary for producing production-ready surfaces.
- Strong competency with 3D visualization and review tools (VRED preferred) for conducting data checks, supporting design reviews, and communicating complex surfacing topics.
