Design at Waymo is about the total experience—not just how the product looks, but how it works, how it feels, and how we make our new technology accessible, approachable, and useful for everyone. We design the intuitive, delightful experience for our riders, and we also build the powerful, complex tools used by our fleet operations teams and the engineers who build the Waymo Driver. We are a highly multidisciplinary team of UX Designers, User and Market Researchers, UX Engineers, Content Designers, Industrial Designers, CAD Designers, Studio Engineers, and Technical Artists. We dig deep to understand the attitudes, emotions, and behaviors of all our users. This understanding serves as the foundation for everything we create. In this hybrid role, you will report to a Manager of UX Design.
Job Responsibility:
Craft the in-Car experience by partnering closely with the Creative Lead, PM, Eng, and UXR to define, craft, and maintain the core structures that translate the Waymo experience across different vehicles coming to the market
Expand System-level entertainment by solving for creating an intuitive "lean-back" and ambient experience that rivals the best home-hub, smart-TV, or automotive infotainment interfaces
Execute for scaling by engaging in a hands-on, iterative design cycle to build system-level UI, transitions, and frameworks. You will generate bold ideas and translate them into patterns, prototypes, and interactions that define the future
Evolve our natural interface frameworks by helping to define the architectural roadmap for future multimodal interaction paradigms, including voice, touch, gesture, and cross-device interaction
Ensure global readiness by supporting internationalization and localization efforts to ensure the vehicle platform is ready for global expansion into markets like Japan and the UK
