Senior UI/UX Designer

In this role, you are responsible of designing market-leading UI and UX in the in-car HMI for our cars. As a Senior UI/UX Designer you may also be asked to take on a team leading role for internal or external projects.

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 our 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. We work in close collaboration with all other design departments, as well as with Engineering and Marketing, to shape the mobility experience of the future.
