Vehicle Designer

SUPER73 is seeking a passionate and highly creative Vehicle Designer to join our growing design team and help shape the future of electric bikes. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to concept development, production design, and visualization, bringing ideas to life from initial sketches and concept exploration through CAD development and final production.

The ideal candidate has a strong eye for form, proportion, and detail, along with a deep passion for bikes, motorcycles, and automotive culture. You are highly motivated, eager to learn, and excited to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, product development, and marketing, to create innovative products that challenge convention and redefine the riding experience.

You bring a proactive, enthusiastic mindset and thrive in a fast-paced, design-driven environment, balancing independent creative work with collaborative problem-solving.

This role reports directly to the Head of Design and is based in our Irvine office, with a hybrid work schedule.

What You’ll Do

• Develop design proposals for future vehicle and product programs through sketching, rendering, and CAD
• Support projects across the full design cycle—from early concept exploration to production release
• Translate design intent into feasible surfaces, components, and assemblies
• Build and refine digital models using tools such as SolidWorks, Rhino, Alias, Blender, or similar
• Produce high-quality visualizations and renderings for internal reviews, presentations, and marketing use
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to balance design intent, functionality, manufacturability, and cost
• Participate in design reviews, critiques, and ideation sessions, contributing ideas that strengthen overall direction
• Research trends in motorcycles, automotive, motorsports, consumer products, CMF, and emerging technologies to inform future design work
• Develop CMF, graphics, and detailing to strengthen product identity and brand expression
• Build physical mockups and prototypes to evaluate form, fit, finish, and usability
• Maintain organized CAD files, documentation, and project assets throughout development
• Support vendor communication and external partners during prototyping and production phases
• Help evolve and reinforce the Super73 design language across all future products

What You’ll Bring

• Strong passion for vehicles, motorcycles, and product design
• Strong sketching, ideation, and visual communication skills
• Solid understanding of form, proportion, packaging, and surface development
• High attention to detail with sensitivity to fit, finish, and build quality
• Ability to take feedback, iterate quickly, and adapt in a fast-paced environment
• Positive, enthusiastic attitude with the ability to work independently and within a team
• Strong communication and presentation skills

Qualifications

• Degree in Industrial Design, Transportation Design, Product Design, or a related field.
• 2–5 years of professional design experience.
• A portfolio demonstrating concept development, sketching, 3D modeling, and rendering skills, preferably focused on two-wheeled vehicles.
• Proficiency in one or more CAD and visualization tools.
• SolidWorks, Rhino, Alias, or Blender
• KeyShot or equivalent rendering software
• Familiarity with AI-assisted design workflows is a plus
• Understanding of manufacturing processes (metal fabrication, plastics, composites, CNC machining, casting, or soft goods integration) is a plus
• Familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop)

Bonus Points

• Passion for motorcycles, bicycles, automotive, or motorsports
• Hands-on prototyping or fabrication experience
• CMF experience
• Experience building mockups, custom projects, or one-off prototypes
• Maker mindset with a strong drive to bring ideas into the real world
