  • Drive user-centered methodologies in a technically constrained, safety-critical environment that ships at global scale
  • Develop and maintain comprehensive UI design systems, style guides, and reusable component libraries
  • Mentor and guide junior designers, and help develop a highly collaborative, ego-free design culture


    • MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years of design experience (ideally some in the automotive or mobility space)
  • Comfortable with both the vision and the details
  • A strong portfolio showing end-to-end design process, included shipped products
  • A strong understanding of interaction design, inclusive design and accessibility
  • Experience with Figma, Protopie or prototyping equivalent (knowledge of 3D tools and workflows a bonus)
  • Strong communicator able to build trust with engineers, stakeholders, and cross functional partners
  • Comfortable navigating multi-cultural environments
  • A deep listener that can translate research insights into meaningful user experiences
  • Must have a growth mindset and a collaborative work style


    • NICE TO HAVES
  • Experience in the automotive, transportation, or aviation industries
  • Japanese language ability is a strong plus
  • Experience with sound and/or haptic design
