Description
The Role
GM's Human Interface Design (HID) team is shaping the future of how people interact with our vehicles-through advanced interfaces, immersive visuals, and emotionally resonant experiences. As part of the Advanced UX group, you'll explore next-generation in-vehicle interactions through conceptual visualization, rapid prototyping, and 2D/3D design. This team blends creativity, systems thinking, and technical craft to envision intuitive, inclusive, and future-forward mobility experiences. If you're excited by fast-paced collaboration and bringing bold ideas to life, this role offers the opportunity to influence the next chapter of GM's design innovation.
What You'll Do:
  • Develop advanced UX concepts and visual directions that shape future in-vehicle experiences, supported by storyboards, narrative flows, and clear visual storytelling.
  • Create scalable design systems, visual languages, and interface frameworks to ensure cohesive, repeatable solutions across platforms and features.
  • Produce high-quality concept visuals-including 2D illustrations, UI explorations, motion studies, and simple 3D models or animations that bring future-state interactions to life.
  • Build low- to high-fidelity prototypes that support decision-making, validate interaction patterns, and demonstrate feature flows or motion behaviors.
  • Iterate rapidly on user flows, interaction models, and motion behaviors to refine experience direction based on feedback and user needs.
  • Deliver polished design assets such as layouts, sketches, motion graphics, and user journeys that are ready for collaboration and handoff.
  • Collaborate and present effectively with cross-functional teams (design, engineering, product, suppliers) while bringing forward fresh inspiration from UX, mobility, gaming, and consumer tech trends to influence major product decisions.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):
  • 5+ years of professional experience showcasing interdisciplinary design skills across UX Design, Product Design, Human Interface Design, and related fields.
  • A thoughtfully curated design portfolio (online or shared privately) which demonstrates:
    • End-to-end UX process and systems thinking
    • Prototyping from low → high fidelity
    • Proven abilities in visual storytelling and narrative design
    • Complex interaction design
  • Expert proficiency in Figma and advanced prototyping tools (e.g. ProtoPie)

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
  • Strong proficiency in Sketch, XD, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator
  • Working knowledge of 3D modeling workflows
  • Previous experience with video editing tools (Adobe Premiere Pro or equivalent)

But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
