Your Tasks:
• Design intuitive, future-oriented HMI interfaces across multiple (in-vehicle) displays

• Support handover by preparing documentation, specs and visual assets for development
Your profile:
• Automotive & HMI Experience (such as Android Automotive OS, infotainment, navigation, ADAS, HMI, connected services, mobility or other future mobility services)
• Experience with complex, scaled product development or delivery programs (ideally Automotive & Mobility experience working with OEM, Tier1 or Agency/Consultancy)
• Understanding of driver context, cognitive load and specific test conditions
• Quality, Safety and Compliance Mindset (Commercial Vehicles HMI ≠ Consumer Apps)
• Strong visual design skills and a portfolio demonstrating complex UI work

• Ability to create clean, scalable visual assets suited for embedded or automotive environments

• Experience preparing assets for embedded or real-time rendering systems
• Experience designing for VR/AR
We Offer:
• Participation as a central team member of a dynamic design consultancy, self-determined and independent work with direct connection to our partners, management and colleagues
• The best team in the world :)
• Flat hierarchies and the opportunity to contribute and implement your own ideas
• A lot of personal responsibility, room for creativity and personal development, and thus the chance to grow together with the company
• 30 days paid vacation, hybrid-work, a dog-friendly office and meditation to promote work-life balance
• We balance work with family and private life (with a potential four day week if needed)
• Benefits as Urban Sports Club, food club, regular team gatherings
• Inhouse coaching and mentoring
