The role

We’re looking for a Product Designer to shape digital in-vehicle experiences for our development and demonstration fleet. Your work will span tools used by trained vehicle operators during testing and validation, alongside guest-facing interfaces that help a wide range of people understand and experience Wayve’s enriched ADAS and automated-driving technology.

You’ll help us explore new ways for people to understand and interact with autonomous driving technology. You’ll own defined product features from discovery through to delivery, combining user insight, interaction design and strong visual design. You’ll think beyond the screen, considering how visual interfaces, sound, haptics and lighting can work together to make complex technology clear, intuitive and accessible.

You’ll work within a supportive, experienced design environment, partnering closely with Product, Engineering and Operations.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct research, observation and usability testing with operators, guests and customers
• Turn user needs, complex technology and operational requirements into clear journeys, workflows and interactions
• Apply inclusive and accessible design principles, considering a broad range of needs, abilities and contexts of use
• Design interactions across visual interfaces, sound, haptics and lighting, considering how they work together as one experience
• Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes and polished production-ready designs
• Define interaction states, edge cases and feedback in sufficient detail for implementation
• Collaborate with stakeholders to balance user needs, product goals and technical constraints
• Review implementation, resolve design issues and help maintain a high quality bar in the finished experience
• Contribute reusable interaction and visual patterns across Wayve’s vehicle-related products

About you

For this role, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.

Essential

• A portfolio demonstrating strong interaction and visual/UI craft, including the ability to make complex information and interactions clear without losing important detail
• An understanding of inclusive and accessible design, and how different needs and contexts can shape an experience
• Strong wireframing and prototyping skills, with the ability to choose the right level of fidelity for the problem
• Curiosity and sound judgement: you’re comfortable questioning assumptions, exploring different approaches and working through ambiguity and constraints
• Clear communication and the ability to explain the thinking behind your design decisions
• Experience owning product problems through discovery, design, validation and delivery
• Experience planning and conducting user research or usability testing and applying what you learn
• Experience collaborating closely with product managers and engineers throughout product development
