Senior Motion Designer

General Motors is looking for a Senior Motion Designer to join the Human Interface Design (HID) team within Advanced UX. Based in Warren, MI (onsite), you will help shape next-generation in-vehicle interactions by translating UX concepts into motion-forward visualizations, prototypes, and design assets. The work focuses on conceptual direction, rapid iteration, and 2D/3D exploration that supports future-state mobility experiences.

What you’ll do

• Develop advanced UX concepts and visual directions that influence future in-vehicle experiences, using storyboards, narrative flows, and clear visual storytelling.
• Create scalable design systems, visual languages, and interface frameworks to support 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 to bring interactions to life.
• Build low- to high-fidelity prototypes that help drive decisions, validate interaction patterns, and demonstrate feature flows or motion behaviors.
• Iterate quickly on user flows, interaction models, and motion behaviors, refining experience direction based on feedback and user needs.
• Deliver polished design assets such as layouts, sketches, motion graphics, and user journeys that are collaboration-ready for handoff.
• Collaborate with and present to cross-functional partners (design, engineering, product, suppliers), contributing inspiration from UX, mobility, gaming, and consumer tech trends to support major product decisions.

What you bring

• Motion, animation, or conceptual 3D experience.
• 5+ years of professional experience in UX Design, Product Design, Human Interface Design, or related fields.
• A strong, thoughtfully curated design portfolio showing end-to-end UX process and systems thinking; prototyping from low to high fidelity; visual storytelling and narrative design; and complex interaction design.
• Expert proficiency in Figma and advanced prototyping tools such as ProtoPie.
