HCI Researcher

We're seeking a passionate and innovative HCI Researcher to join our team and shape the future of autonomous mobility. You'll play a critical role in designing and evaluating intuitive, safe, and enjoyable user experiences for our next-generation autonomous vehicles and related services. This is an exciting opportunity to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and human needs, ensuring our autonomous solutions are not only technically superior but also deeply user-centric.

Responsibilities

• Conduct applied research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) specifically within the context of autonomous driving and drones. This includes understanding user needs, behaviors, and expectations related to self-driving vehicles, human-autonomy interaction, trust, and acceptance.
• Contribute to the intellectual property of the company through patents and publications,
• Develop and evaluate user interfaces (UIs) and user experiences (UXs) for in-vehicle systems, external communication interfaces (e.g., pedestrian interaction), and off-board tools related to autonomous vehicles, including Drones. This includes infotainment, navigation, driver-vehicle handover, and remote assistance systems.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including engineers, designers, product managers, and safety experts to integrate HCI principles and user insights throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Prototype and test concepts ranging from low-fidelity wireframes to high-fidelity interactive mockups.
