Define how our vehicles interact with the people around them, including riders, law enforcement, first responders, and the public. This covers exterior communication and signaling, cabin monitoring and security, in-cabin safety, and resilience to tampering and vandalism.
Lead product definition for new hardware programs before engineering kickoff, turning real-world scenarios into requirements with clear acceptance criteria and a plan to verify and validate each one.
Bring an industrial design and human factors perspective to physical touchpoints like displays, lighting, reach, and controls, and validate them hands-on in mock-ups and real vehicles.
Build trusted relationships with OEM and supplier partners, understanding their constraints and processes and keeping requirements aligned across organizations.
Represent hardware credibly in cross-functional product decisions about what's possible, what's costly, and what's out of scope.
