HMI_43004221

Main goals and objectives:

The core mission of this position is to participate in developing, testing and iterating the next generation of the ADAS features specifically designed for the Chinese market. The position will design, execute, technically observe and monitor user studies with Chinese customers in customized Chinese traffic scenarios, in a local simulator.

Based on global and local HMI and safety concepts, the position will be involved in designing HMI study-concepts, developing technical concepts and specifications, evaluating and interpreting results in order to offer a solution most suitable for the Chinese market and customer. These functions will be designed for premium brand products in the Chinese market.

The contribution of this position will be vital to deliver from concept through an eventual production launch. The exchange with relevant stakeholders and partners in both China region and headquarters will be an essential part of this position’s work.

Your Responsibilities:

As an HMI Engineer you are responsible for the described scope and tasks within the ADAS/ADAP/ICV Development department for next generation vehicle platform.

• Design HMI user studies for the verification of ADAS features in specific traffic scenarios

• Implement relevant traffic scenario simulations for user studies

• Conduct and monitor HMI user studies with selected Chinese customers

• Observe and log user study results
