GM’s Human Interface Design – Vehicle Studio is hiring a Senior Designer – Instrumentation to lead the future of in-vehicle driver information. In this role, you will act as a senior individual contributor and domain expert for digital instrument clusters and alert architecture, defining patterns that make complex, real-time information clear, glanceable, and trustworthy. You’ll partner closely with design managers, software, engineering, safety, and product teams to ship high-quality cluster experiences at scale across GM brands.
Job Responsibility:
Lead the design of digital instrument clusters, including layouts, cluster faces, states, and model/brand variants
Define and refine alert and notification architecture, prioritizing safety, legibility, and consistency across programs
Shape information hierarchy, motion, and state models for real-time and contextual driver information
Partner with product managers, software engineers, safety, and human factors to translate requirements into user-centered, regulation-aware solutions
Own complex initiatives from early concepts and IA through wireframes, prototypes, and final specifications
Contribute to and evolve design guidelines, patterns, and frameworks for driver information and alerts across the ecosystem
Collaborate with brand design to ensure instrumentation feels on-brand while maintaining clarity and usability
Leverage research, validation studies, and data to iterate and improve designs
Mentor other designers on instrumentation best practices, elevating the craft and quality across the team
Contribute to a collaborative, inclusive, and curious team culture
Requirements:
5+ years’ experience creating digital interfaces for automotive, web, mobile, gaming, or embedded systems, with a strong focus on complex information displays or real-time data
Formal training or degree in Interface Design, Visual Design, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related discipline
Strong portfolio showcasing UX, interaction design, visual systems, and information design for data-rich or real-time experiences
Demonstrated experience owning end-to-end design of complex, multi-state interfaces
Ability to exercise restraint in design, balancing aesthetics, glanceability, and functional clarity for safety-critical use cases
Proficiency in design tools such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, plus familiarity with prototyping tools for motion and interaction
Proven ability to partner with cross-functional teams (engineering, safety, human factors, product, brand) to solve complex problems
Strong problem-solving and organizational skills, with experience managing multiple programs or variants in parallel
Excellent visual, verbal, and written communication skills, especially when explaining complex states and behaviors
Nice to have:
Experience in automotive HMI, especially instrument clusters, HUDs, or safety-critical displays
Hands-on experience in lean or agile product environments, including iterative design and rapid validation
Strong understanding of accessibility, legibility, and inclusive design in low-attention, in-vehicle contexts
Proficiency in interactive prototyping (software and/or hardware), ideally with real-time system or data simulation
Experience mentoring other designers and influencing design direction beyond your immediate projects
