About The Position

The GM Human Interface Design – Vehicle Studio is hiring an experienced Designer to help shape the future of in-vehicle digital experiences. In this role, you will collaborate with partners across design, software, engineering, and product to deliver intuitive, accessible, and visually compelling system-level software experiences across GM’s vehicle portfolio. You will contribute to cohesive, brand-aligned digital products that balance creativity, usability, and technical excellence, playing a key role in defining how customers interact with GM vehicles and digital ecosystems. As an individual contributor on the Connected Apps Design team, you will lead the design of complex, end-to-end experiences that span both the vehicle and GM’s mobile touchpoints. The team is responsible for core customer experiences across charging, media, audio, passenger entertainment, and phone-based productivity for the full GM portfolio. While you may not own mobile design delivery directly, you are expected to bring a strong cross-channel perspective and proactively guide design decisions to ensure cohesive, well-considered experiences across platforms. In this role, you will operate with a high degree of autonomy, translating ambiguous problem spaces into clear interaction models, scalable UI solutions, and well-rationalized contributions to our design systems. You will partner closely with product, engineering, and research to shape product direction, validate design decisions, and drive design excellence through strong craft, clear rationale, and iterative delivery. If you are passionate about designing digital products that elevate everyday experiences, we would love to hear from you.
