Surrounded by an innovative and dedicated team of industry experts, you’ll apply your learning and satisfy your curiosity for what’s possible.
Creative Technical Undergraduate
The beautiful shapes, sweeping curves and luxurious styles of our vehicles would be nothing without our technical accuracy and attention to craftsmanship. As part of the Creative Technical group, you’ll help to produce finishes that grab attention wherever they’re seen, while working at the heart of one of our key teams.
Surfacing
Class A surfacing brings our design intentions to life, so they can be seen and touched anywhere on the vehicle. You’ll join a technical Computer Aided Design (CAD) modelling team solving geometric problems to deliver best-in-class, crafted optical quality solutions for our Class A production surfaces across all new vehicle programmes.
During this programme, you will receive training in ICEM Surf software for A-Class geometry creation. You will then work in a small surfacing project team to contribute to the delivery of high-quality A-class geometry across vehicle interiors and exteriors, working closely with designers and engineers to produce feasible production releases. At the same time, you will increase your knowledge and networks by participating in placements with our interfacing departments and grow your surface engineering skills as you take on greater responsibility for component design and release.
WHAT’S REQUIRED
You will need to be on track to achieve at least a 2.2 degree in transport or automotive design or digital 3D design. For Digital Design this also includes degrees in Interaction design, Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Product or Industrial design. VFX, Game design, 3D visualisation and Animation degrees.
In addition, you will need to have a real passion for problem-solving, the curiosity to understand business challenges, and deliver innovative solutions. You will also need to have strong numerical and interpersonal skills, as well as the confidence to champion new initiatives.
Please note that our undergraduate placement opportunities are open only to penultimate-year students (those who will be returning to their final year of study or on an integrated master’s after their placement with us). All our undergraduate programmes have a fixed start date, commencing 7th July 2025.
