Usability Tester HMI / Automotive (m/f/x)
#NEWISBEAUTIFUL
We are entering a multi‑year collaboration with a major vehicle manufacturer to design advanced in‑vehicle digital experiences. Our work spans early R&D exploration through to production‑grade design delivery, supporting several parallel development tracks and working closely with internal product and engineering teams.
Your Tasks
- Plan, prepare and conduct usability tests for in‑vehicle interfaces, prototypes and design concepts
- Conduct testings as a mandatory part of design process
- Run studies across lab, simulated, and in‑context environments (incl. driving scenarios)
- Document findings clearly and translate them into actionable recommendations
- Collaborate closely with UX designers, researchers, prototypers and engineering teams
- Support iterative testing throughout concept and production phases
- Ensure compliance with safety, accessibility, and automotive‑specific usability standards
Your profile
- Automotive & HMI Experience (such as Android Automotive OS, infotainment, navigation, ADAS, HMI, connected services, mobility or other future mobility services)
- Experience with complex, scaled product development or delivery programs (ideally Automotive & Mobility experience working with OEM, Tier1 or Agency/Consultancy)
- Understanding of driver context, cognitive load and specific test conditions
- Quality, Safety and Compliance Mindset (Commercial Vehicles HMI ≠ Consumer Apps)
- Experience conducting usability tests for digital products (automotive or hardware‑integrated systems is a plus)
- Competence in usability testing + automotive testing setups
- Ability to work with / maintain HMI rigs
- Strong skills in test planning, facilitation, observation and documentation
- Experience with eye tracking, telemetry or behavioral analytics tools
- Ability to work with interactive prototypes
Bonus
- Basic familiarity with ISO standards
- Experience with commercial vehicles
- Experience with automotive HMI evaluation setups (driving simulators, hardware‑in‑the‑loop, safety‑critical interaction testing)
- Ability to handle GDPR‑secure workflows
- Experience testing in VR/AR
We Offer
- Participation as a central team member of a dynamic design consultancy, self‑determined and independent work with direct connection to our partners, management and colleagues
- The best team in the world :)
- Flat hierarchies and the opportunity to contribute and implement your own ideas
- A lot of personal responsibility, room for creativity and personal development, and thus the chance to grow together with the company
