Product Designer (Automotive) Full Time

As Arrive, we guide customers and communities towards brighter futures and more livable cities, it isn’t a challenge just anyone could take on. Luckily, we have something to help us make it happen. Our people and our values. We Arrive Curious, Focused and Together. Just as our entire brand is inspired by the North Star, the shining light leading travelers to their destinations since time began, our values guide us. They help us be at our best. For our customers. For the cities and communities we serve. For ourselves. As a global team, we are transforming urban mobility. Let’s grow better, together.

The Role

In Arrive’s product offering, the automotive products are currently some of the most forward-looking, as well as representing the fastest-growing area of the business. The products in this space allow our end users to not only pay for parking easily – right from their car’s dashboard – but also get navigational guidance to help them find parking more easily. These products are also offered towards car manufacturers – through close partnerships, we deeply integrate well-liked features into their vehicles. As a designer supporting the cross-functional teams in this space, you will have an unparalleled opportunity to help shape the direction of these products.

The main focus is on automotive platforms (chiefly Android Automotive and Google Automotive services, as well as occasionally Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), but at times you’re expected to work in other ecosystems, for instance with smartphone apps or web experiences.

This is a fantastic opportunity to grow your skills within a world-class, 30-person strong, design organisation that covers design leadership, UX research, UX writing, localization and accessibility expertise. You will have a chance to make a tangible impact on a key part of Arrive’s product portfolio.

How To Make An Impact

• Take ownership of the end-to-end design process for all key features within the Automotive product offering, from initial concept to final implementation and further iteration.
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and UX Researchers to define problems, explore solutions, and deliver the best possible user experience.
• Design and iterate on user interfaces – focused on automotive platforms, but at times also within web and app contexts – creating concepts, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups that meet both user needs and business goals.

About You

We’re looking for a motivated and skilled product designer to join our team. You should have a passion for solving complex user problems and a proven ability to deliver high-quality design work in a fast-paced environment. You’re expected to effectively navigate the complex constraints of the automotive space (including safety considerations, regulations, hardware limitations, certifications, and more) without losing sight of the end user. We have high ambitions in this space, pushing the envelope of what’s expected and possible in the automotive space, including navigating the rising adoption of electric vehicles, software-defined vehicles, and even autonomous vehicles.

Your background

• 3+ years of experience in product design, working in a cross-functional team environment.
• Proficiency in working with design work across different ecosystems.
• Experience with automotive interfaces is a big plus. Together with knowledge of GAS (Google Automotive Services) templates versus custom OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) skins as well as experience with navigating the automotive context constraints and best practices.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating proficiency in UX and UI design, problem-solving, and the ability to ship impactful products while navigating business and technical constraints.
• Proven experience in defining user problems, leveraging research, and translating insights into well-executed design solutions, while balancing output velocity with precision and craft.
• Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools (e.g. Figma) and best practices (e.g. compliance with WCAG).

This role can be based in Stockholm, Sweden, or London, UK.
