Job description:
In this role, you are responsible of designing market-leading UI and UX in the in-car HMI for a client in the automotive sector. You will challenge the way our users interact with and use the car and apply systems thinking to information and experience design to find new ways to engages both driver and passengers through the clients digital touchpoints along a user journey.
You will participate throughout the entire design process, from inspiration and research to building
digital prototypes and communicating the vision for the in-car digital experiences. Together with a team, you contribute to the development, evaluation and documentation of novel, multi-modal interaction concepts and information architectures for digital touch points, infotainment, driver information and telematics.
You collaborate on designing, running, and testing new solutions through experiments and prototypes
at varying levels of fidelity. From visual storytelling, wireframing, click-through prototypes and
animations to functional interactive prototypes. You systematically ensure that concepts are coherent,
satisfy user needs and expectations, understand user pain points as well as meeting safety and
regulatory requirements, and minimize driver distraction.
To create new opportunities, you will explore and identify focus areas for user research, selecting
appropriate research methodologies, and synthesize user research results into actionable insights for
iterative concept development.
You will work within the HMI Design department, a true cross-functional team where inter-disciplinary
focus, curiosity and drive are highly valued. They work in close collaboration with all other design
departments, as well as with Engineering and Marketing, to shape the mobility experience of the future.
As a Senior UI/UX Designer you may also be asked to take on a temporary team leading role for internal
or external projects or tasks.
Skills required for the role:
- Bachelor’s degree in Interaction design, human factors, human computer interaction, or related
field. We are looking after the combination of this disciplines.
- Minimum 5 years of experience designing across multiple platforms
- Experience from collaborating with multidisciplinary teams of designers, researchers, engineers,
strategists and product managers throughout the design process
- Experience of building mockups and prototypes, from digital to tangible proofs of concept
- Diverse portfolio highlighting projects that demonstrate experience in crafting digital or physical
user interfaces with a wide range of interaction models
Nice-to-haves
- Master’s degree in Interaction design, human factors, human computer interaction or related field
- Prior experience in developing interfaces to meet safety/driver distraction standards
- Previous experience developing interfaces/interactions for high-workload dynamic environments
(e.g. vehicles, aircraft)
- Experience of moderating brainstorming and ideation sessions
- Understanding of web development languages
- Understanding of prototyping HW such as Arduino & Raspberry Pi
- Motion (After Effects and Premiere) and 3D software (Blender, VRED)
Additional information
