Senior CMF Designer

About the Company

At Avaron, you get the security of permanent employment combined with the variety of working at different customers. We place specialists across everything from tech, IT and industry to project management and business support – and whatever the assignment, you have a consultant manager who is there for you and your development.

About the Role

You will take the lead in CMF development for vehicle programs where color, material, and finish are central to both brand expression and production feasibility. In this role, you turn strategic direction into CMF concepts that can move all the way from early concept work to launch, balancing creative vision with technical reality.

You will work in a cross-functional automotive environment together with design, engineering, visualization, modeling, trim, paint, and supplier teams. The role suits you if you enjoy both the big picture and the fine detail, from macro themes and storytelling to quilt, perforation, texture, and mesh pattern specifications. It is a strong opportunity to shape production-ready design in a complex product setting where your ideas need to be both inspiring and buildable.
