Xiaomi EV - Lead Interior CAS Modeller

Xiaomi is hiring a Lead Interior CAS Modeller for its EV program, based in Munich, DE. This is a full-time, onsite position offered through external recruitment, with the reference ID A134338.

The role centers on creating high-quality interior CAS models with careful attention to proportion, surface quality and design accuracy, and it calls for someone who can lead the modelling work across the team.

The team includes interior designers, CAS modellers and studio engineers, and this role is built for someone who thrives on collaborating to turn creative concepts into feasible digital surfaces that align with project milestones.

Shaping the cabin: day-to-day duties

You’ll lead the development of interior CAS digital models, keeping a close eye on proportion, surface finish, and how well the model communicates the design intent.

You’ll also allocate workload within the modelling team in line with studio priorities and project timelines, ensuring alignment with design and engineering leaders.

Collaboration sits at the heart of the role as you work with interior designers and engineering teams to confirm feasibility and maintain alignment with overall concepts.

Additional responsibilities include guiding the creation and refinement of interior Class-A / CAS digital surfaces, supporting design reviews by presenting models at key milestones, and pushing for improvements in modelling workflows and best practices.

You’ll mentor fellow CAS modellers, offer constructive feedback on surfacing and proportions, and help run cross-functional review sessions and workshops with design and engineering teams.

Your core qualifications

To be considered, the following must-haves describe the ideal profile:

• A degree in Transportation Design, Industrial Design, Engineering, or a related field
• Extensive experience with automotive digital modelling, including leadership or coordination responsibilities
• A solid grasp of the automotive design development process from concept to production
• Advanced capability with digital modelling tools such as Alias, Blender, VRED, or similar software
• Strong talent for translating design sketches and concepts into precise 3D surfaces
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills when working with multidisciplinary teams
• Strong organizational ability to manage several projects within defined timelines
• Professional working proficiency in English

Advice for applicants

Lead with your degree and leadership in automotive digital modelling on your resume, and clearly call out the field of study you pursued.

Show concrete evidence of translating sketches or concepts into high-quality 3D surfaces, and name the modelling tools you’ve used (such as Alias, Blender, and VRED) with real examples or portfolio work.

Be ready to describe how you’ve coordinated a modelling team and managed multiple projects to meet milestones, including how you prioritise work and communicate with designers and engineers.

Prepare a story about presenting digital models during design reviews and consider asking about how cross-functional workshops are structured to balance design intent with technical feasibility
