Founding Industrial Designer, Autonomous Vehicles and Mobility Spaces

This role sets the physical design of autonomous vehicles and passenger spaces, collaborating with engineering, business and operations teams. It covers vehicle, hardware and spatial design—not app or system-screen UX/UI—from concepts through prototyping and field evaluation. The role also defines design principles and experience standards as vehicles progress from PoC to commercial use. Work spans exterior and interior concepts, vehicle form and packaging, aerodynamics, weight, sensors, visibility, boarding and cabin equipment. The designer considers EV power, batteries, charging, thermal design and energy management with engineers, while accounting for maintenance and depot workflows. Candidates need experience in industrial, product, vehicle, hardware or spatial design, an understanding of mobility constraints, and proposal skills using CAD, 3D modeling, rendering or mockups. Required background also includes design work at automotive or electronics manufacturers, mobility firms or design studios; vehicle, hardware or physical-space design; and collaboration with engineering, business or operations teams. Digital UX/UI experience is not required.
