Founded in 2019, we're pioneering a new era of performance vehicles through revolutionary, proprietary technology that blends human-AI design with sustainable manufacturing. Our flagship 21C hypercar, celebrated as the world’s fastest production vehicle and for its record-setting runs at Goodwood Hill Climb, Circuit of the Americas, and Laguna Seca, showcases the innovation behind over 550 patents in AI-driven generative design, materials, and additive manufacturing. With our three core pillars of dominating performance, iconic design, and revolutionary technology, Czinger is at the intersection of deep technology, consumer products, and high-performance branding. We invite you to join our world-class talent in shaping the future of the automotive industry. Here, you'll be part of a groundbreaking journey that pushes the limits of performance, design, technology, and sustainability. We are seeking a creative and technically capable Automotive Visualization Designer to join our small, highly collaborative design team. This role combines high-quality automotive visualization, vehicle specification development, CMF support, and design-data preparation. The ideal candidate will have strong visual judgment, an interest in automotive design, and the technical aptitude required to work with complex 3D design and engineering data. Proficiency in Autodesk VRED and working knowledge of Autodesk Alias are required, including an understanding of how Alias data is prepared, transferred, updated, and managed within VRED visualization workflows. This position is well suited to a junior-to-mid-level designer who is hands-on, adaptable, and comfortable taking responsibility across several areas. Because the design team is small, the successful candidate must be willing to move between creative, technical, and production-oriented tasks as project needs evolve.

Requirements

Portfolio demonstrating strong 3D visualization, rendering, digital design, or automotive-related work.
Proficiency in Autodesk VRED, including scene preparation, materials, lighting, cameras, rendering, animation, and complex data management.
Working knowledge of Autodesk Alias and its use within an automotive design-development environment.
Demonstrated understanding of interoperability between Autodesk Alias and VRED.
Ability to transfer, tessellate, organize, update, and troubleshoot Alias surface data within VRED while preserving geometry quality, hierarchy, and design intent.
Understanding of Alias surface structures, layers, naming conventions, assemblies, shaders, and common data-export workflows.
Strong technical aptitude and the ability to understand complex 3D data, software workflows, and production requirements.
Working knowledge of 3D geometry preparation, scene organization, materials, lighting, cameras, rendering, and image composition.
A strong visual eye and a sound understanding of proportion, aesthetics, color, materials, lighting, and composition.
Sufficient design sensitivity to contribute meaningfully to vehicle specifications, liveries, CMF studies, and customer-facing design decisions.
Comfort working with CAD-derived engineering data, Class-A surface data, polygonal data, and large, complex 3D assemblies.
Willingness to learn and regularly use Teamcenter or another PLM system to locate, retrieve, and manage engineering data.
Ability to balance creative quality with technical accuracy, deadlines, and changing project requirements.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across Design, Engineering, CMF, Sales, and Marketing.
A proactive, flexible, and hands-on approach suited to a small multidisciplinary team.
