Key Responsibilities

Surface Modeling

• Develop Class A surfaces for exterior and interior components, ensuring they meet stringent quality standards.

• Refine existing surfaces to achieve optimal aesthetics, continuity, and manufacturability.

• Address complex curvature transitions, reflections, and highlights.

Collaboration

• Work closely with industrial designers, design engineers, and other team members.

• Interpret 2D sketches or clay models and translate them into 3D surfaces.

• Iterate based on feedback from cross-functional teams.

Surface Integrity

• Pay meticulous attention to surface continuity, tangency, and curvature.

• Ensure surfaces are free from gaps, ripples, or other imperfections.

• Optimize surfaces for tooling and manufacturing processes.

Problem-Solving

• Resolve surface-related challenges such as reflections, highlights, and transitions.

• Balance design intent with engineering constraints.
