Automotive Wrap Graphic Designer

About MARTIN Technologies

MARTIN is a global, full-service engineering and manufacturing company supporting the mobility, automotive, aerospace, defense, motorsports, and marine industries. From our motorsports roots (est. 1996) to today’s advanced propulsion and autonomous programs, we thrive on innovative thinking, precision craftsmanship, and a “whatever-it-takes” mentality.

Position Overview

We’re looking for a creative, detail-obsessed Automotive Wrap Graphic Designer to turn vehicles into rolling works of art. You’ll own the end-to-end design process—concept to print-ready files—for wraps on everything from high-performance prototypes to fleet vehicles. If you dream in hex codes, understand compound curves, and get excited about color-shifting vinyl, we want to meet you.

Key Responsibilities

• Concept & Design – Develop striking vehicle wrap concepts that elevate OEM and motorsports programs, integrating sponsor branding and technical requirements.

• 3D Visualization & Templates – Create accurate vehicle templates or adapt OEM CAD files to ensure perfect panel alignment; produce 3D mock-ups for client approval.

• Pre-Press & File Prep – Convert designs to production-ready files, set up print layouts, and specify bleed, overlaps, and panel registration.

• Color Management – Match corporate/PMS colors across varying vinyl types and large-format substrates; conduct test prints as needed.

• Equipment Interface – Collaborate with the print team to run large-format printers, plotters, and laminators; troubleshoot RIP-software issues (Onyx, Flexi, etc.).

• Installer Collaboration – Communicate with installers to anticipate stretch points, seams, and finishing details; refine artwork for smooth installations.

• Continuous Innovation – Research new materials, finishes, and design trends in vehicle graphics; present fresh ideas to internal stakeholders and clients.

Qualifications

• Portfolio demonstrating at least 2 years of hands-on vehicle wrap or large-format graphics design (links or PDF required).

• Expert-level Adobe Illustrator; solid skills in Photoshop. Experience with 3D wrap-design tools (e.g., Clo, Boxy SVG, Blender) a plus.

• Working knowledge of RIP software and large-format print workflows.

• Strong grasp of vehicle contours, panel breaks, and installation best practices.

• Ability to read/interpret engineering drawings and basic measurements; comfortable doing on-vehicle tape-measure verifications.

• Creative thinker who balances aesthetics with brand guidelines and production constraints.

• Excellent communication and teamwork skills—you’ll interface with engineers, project managers, and installers daily.

• Ability to stand, bend, and occasionally lift 30 lbs of media or tools.

Why Join MARTIN?

• Cutting-edge projects with top OEMs and race teams.

• Flexible part-time hours that can grow with demand.

• Collaborative, fast-paced culture that values innovation and craftsmanship.

• Access to advanced prototyping, motorsports, and R&D resources most designers only dream about.
