Main responsibilities include:

As a senior UX Designer on the Electrification in CarUX, you will work on defining features, products and systems within the infotainment system of the car that help facilitate the transition to electric vehicles to first time users and empower people with the right information visualization and controls. Your responsibility will be to deliver design artifacts, such as user flows, wireframes, and prototypes that balance design aesthetics with intuitive functionality.

You will collaborate with other designers and ensure a seamless customer experience across Volvo’s digital landscape. And as part of a product team, you will communicate designs, ideas, and rationale with your team using data and customer insights.

As a designer, you advocate for the user, you develop a deep understanding of our customer needs and pain-points, serving as an expert for your product team and develop ideas for new and enhanced features.

Your focus will be in developing technically informed and people focused hypotheses and designs on how to humanize the way to present driver centric information to our users.

You have strong design skills and a track record that demonstrates how you create and build on top of existing design systems.

Who you are:

• You’ve been designing for 6+ years for a consumer-focused tech company, so you understand what it takes to create elegant, consumer-oriented experiences.
• You know that appropriate design solutions come not from a brief or a focus group but rather from the deep understanding of our users, their context and the challenges created by technology within that context.

• You are a strong collaborator, who can work with not only design partners, but many other stakeholders from engineering to marketing.
