General Motors, Shanghai, China
Job Description
Work Arrangement
These opportunities are categorized as on-site. Successful candidates are expected to work full time on-site in Shanghai, China. The specific work location will be confirmed during the recruitment process according to the position.
Help bring vehicle design to life through visualization, digital storytelling, immersive experiences, and human-centered UX/UI design. Within our broader design delivery and studio operations environment, you may help teams experience and evaluate design proposals or develop the digital interfaces customers use in and around the vehicle.
Visualization opportunities focus on communicating design intent through imagery, animation, real-time content, and virtual reviews. UX/UI opportunities focus on developing intuitive, safe, and emotionally compelling interactions for in-vehicle interfaces and connected digital experiences, from early concepts through production implementation.
You will collaborate with relevant partners across Interior and Exterior Design, CMF, digital sculpting, UX Research, Studio Engineering, software development, infotainment, advanced driver-assistance systems, product planning, and studio operations. Assignments may involve global studios, North American software teams, and local development partners, connecting global design direction with China customer needs and implementation requirements.
We do not require prior supervisory responsibilities, performance-management experience, or ownership of team staffing and resource allocation for these individual-contributor opportunities.
GM China Design Studio is both a production design studio and an advanced design studio. We shape meaningful vehicle experiences for GM brands serving customers in China and global markets, connecting near-term production programs with forward-looking exploration.
We are committed to creating an exceptional design environment where creativity, beauty, craftsmanship, and storytelling can thrive. Our designers work across disciplines and cultures to translate customer understanding, brand identity, and emerging technologies into compelling design stories, immersive experiences, and intuitive digital interactions.
Please ensure your materials exclude undisclosed, confidential, proprietary, or otherwise sensitive information, projects, or materials belonging to employers or clients. Share only work you are authorized to disclose.
Our recruiting and design teams will review your materials. If your profile aligns with a current or future opportunity, a recruiter will contact you to discuss next steps. This is an ongoing talent pipeline, rather than a commitment to an immediate vacancy; contact timing will depend on business needs and relevant opportunities.
If you do not meet every element below, we still encourage you to apply. We value distinctive creative perspectives, strong specialist capabilities, and the potential to grow.
Responsibilities will be selected according to your specialization, experience, and assigned program. You are not expected to perform every activity listed below.
We welcome different career paths and levels of experience. The capabilities below describe potential areas of fit, not a cumulative checklist. Depth in a relevant specialism is valued; expertise in both visualization and UX/UI is not required.
General Motors is committed to being a workplace that is not only free of unlawful discrimination, but one that genuinely fosters inclusion and belonging. We strongly believe that providing an inclusive workplace creates an environment in which our employees can thrive and develop better products for our customers.
We encourage interested candidates to review the key responsibilities and qualifications for each role and apply for any positions that match their skills and capabilities. Applicants in the recruitment process may be required, where applicable, to successfully complete a role-related assessment(s) and/or a pre-employment screening prior to beginning employment.
