Invent a greener and more secured mobility, thanks to solutions focusing on intuitive driving and reducing CO2 emissions. We are leader on our businesses, and recognized as one of the largest global innovative companies.

Would you like to shape the future of intelligent mobility together with us? Become part of our VALEO team and revolutionize the experience of autonomous and connected driving.
 

We are looking for YOU as Working Student (m/f/d) UX Design Activities  for our location in Bietigheim.

 

These challenges await you: 

• Dive into future mobility trends like autonomous driving, advanced haptics, and "Quiet Tech" interfaces to translate driver needs into powerful design insights.

• Imagine and create revolutionary steering wheel concepts (yokes, retractables) by developing sketches, 3D models, and renderings.

• Get hands-on by building low-fidelity mockups (foam/clay) and using 3D printing to validate ergonomics, grip, and driver visibility.

• Take the lead in redefining the steering wheel's role. You will design and propose new human-machine interface (HMI) concepts from the ground up, driven entirely by driver needs and the goal of creating a truly adaptive and intuitive interface.

• Support user testing in our state-of-the-art VR and driving simulators to evaluate the emotional and functional impact of your designs.

 

You inspire us with that:

• Enrolled student in Industrial Design, Transportation Design, or Product/UX Design.

• Strong visualization skills (Sketching, Adobe CC) and 3D modeling proficiency (Rhino, Alias, Blender, or SolidWorks).

• Passion for automotive innovation, ergonomics, and future mobility trends.
