Senior Visualization Designer

Li Auto is seeking a Senior Visualization Designer for its Munich, DE site. This full-time, onsite role sits at the crossroads of automotive design and immersive visualization, with a focus on VR/XR deployment and design-review workflows. The company operates in spaces like smart manufacturing, industrial internet and industrial automation, and this position offers a chance to contribute to how concepts are explored and communicated in a high-tech setting.

The person in this role shapes the future of automotive design by crafting highly detailed visuals that help the design team express ideas and support decision making. It’s a chance to turn complex concepts into clear, compelling visuals that stakeholders can quickly grasp.

If you enjoy collaborating across disciplines and translating engineering and design ideas into tangible visual narratives, this could be a strong fit for you. You’ll bring a design-driven eye and a solid artistic foundation to a team that values clear, impactful visuals in the design process.

Shaping the car's look with immersive visuals

You’ll lead the creation of immersive visualizations that effectively communicate product concepts to stakeholders, while ensuring the visuals align with the design goals. You’ll work closely with the design team to keep visuals in sync with evolving ideas and requirements, translating abstract concepts into tangible renders and interactions.

Delivering high-quality assets, images, videos and real-time interactions, that meet project timelines is a key part of the role, so your work will need to balance clarity, detail and performance. You’ll also participate in design reviews, gather feedback, and refine visuals as needed to keep the storytelling accurate and useful for the decision-makers involved.

Tips to stand out in the application

Put your most relevant toolkit up top on your resume, and lead with your hands-on work in Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender, VRED or other DCC tools, plus a note about CGI workflows. This helps the team see you have the practical foundation they’re looking for.

Back up every claim with concrete projects that show immersive visualizations used to communicate product concepts to stakeholders, and include samples of images, videos and real-time interactions you delivered on schedule. Clear, demonstrable outcomes beat vague statements.

Be ready to walk through your design-review approach, how you gather feedback, how you iterate visuals, and how you ensure outputs stay aligned with product concepts and goals. Interviewers will want to understand your process end-to-end.

Ask a thoughtful question about how visualization assets feed into the design-review process and whether there are opportunities to apply AR/VR across teams to support cross-functional collaboration. That shows you’re thinking about how your visuals will drive decisions in a real-world workflow.
