  • Help prepare research demonstrations, prototypes, and storytelling materials for internal reviews, leadership updates, and other showcase opportunities

  • Contribute to the design of head up display information displays, interface concepts, and related user experience explorations for future vehicle systems

  • Assist with user research preparation, synthesis, and documentation, including helping organize findings, identify pain points, and translate insights into actionable design directions.

  • Support the creation of wireframes, layouts, design concepts, and prototypes for internal tools, display concepts, and other CIX research activities.

  • Help create physical or digital prototypes that make research ideas more tangible and testable

  • Work across research, design, engineering, and program stakeholders to help refine needs, coordinate deliverables, and improve the overall effectiveness of project execution

  • Contribute to internal documentation, system guides, and design recommendations that help research outputs become more actionable and reusable

Required qualifications

  • Ability to turn ambiguous needs into clear materials, design directions, or organized next steps

  • Ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams while also independently driving defined tasks to completion

  • Strong attention to detail and a high standard for quality in both written and visual deliverables

  • Demonstrated initiative, follow-through, and willingness to support a broad range of team needs
