  • Create design deliverables including sketches, wireframes, mockups, animations, and prototypes to clearly communicate design intent
  • Release production specifications and assets to software engineering teams
  • Present design work to peers, partners, and leadership
  • Partner closely with product teams and engineers to ensure user interface designs are executed seamlessly as part of the overall experience
  • Participate in design critiques and contribute to informed design decisions


Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

  • Formal training or a degree in Interface Design, Visual Design, or a related discipline
  • A strong portfolio with work samples demonstrating UX expertise, interaction design, creativity, and depth of thought

  • Ability to exercise restraint and intentionality in design decisions
  • Proficiency with industry standard design tools such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
  • Strong collaboration skills with cross functional teams
  • Excellent problem solving, organization, and written and verbal communication skills


What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
  • Prototyping experience, including software and or hardware development
  • Experience creating high quality renders and animations

  • Deep understanding of the competitive landscape in digital and automotive experiences
