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
