Description

Join the Autonomous Vehicle team, a cutting edge global function within Company’s Product Engineering function. Our mission is to deliver a world class Automated Driving experience that customers love for life; responding to changing lifestyles and mobility trends whist enhancing our two global iconic brands. You will join a highly collaborative and engaging environment, working as part of an agile and dynamic team. Our group is hands-on, focused on results, and spends as much time in the field as in the engineering lab.

Direct Hire: Salary target $120,000 annually.

This role involves leading a wide range of Automated Driving user challenges such as Trust, Motion Sickness, Transfer of Control, Addressing, Mode Confusion, Ad Seating, AD Steering, Vehicle Motion Control (VMC), etc. This role also involves creating a range of innovative UX/UI engineering solutions to develop and deliver a holistic Automated Driving User Experience and Interface. This will involve developing Proof of Concepts (PoCs) with strategic partners. The team is required to follow a Human Centered Design (HCD) and Systems Engineering approach to shape the User Interface for Automated Driving, responsibilities will include working at both ends of the Systems “V” starting with establishing Customer Needs, Use Cases and Requirements, further down the process responsibilities also include User Interface Test and Validation work. This role is US based and you will be expected to establish regular communications with your working colleagues in both the UK and China. It is essential that all work is data driven using world class intelligence and user experiments.
