Design Systems Specialist / Product Designer (Automotive) - all genders

Your mission

In collaboration with a leading vehicle manufacturer, we support the evolution of digital in-vehicle and mobility experiences.

You understand that outstanding digital products emerge through scalable systems, efficient workflows, and close collaboration between design and engineering. We are looking for a proven specialist who can shape, scale, and operationalize enterprise-grade design systems within complex environments, multi-product platforms

• You drive the evolution, structure, and governance of an existing complex design system, ensuring systemic consistency across multiple surfaces, resolutions, and themes
• You manage and structure scalable building blocks in Figma (component libraries, token strategies, variants, variables, and modes) for seamless handoff to engineering
• You serve as a key point of contact, liaising directly with clients and cross-functional teams (UX, engineering, product) to guide system decisions and align vision with execution
• You understand how to structure design systems so they are optimized as foundational building blocks for future AI-supported operations
• You create clear documentation, specs, and system rules to make components easily accessible for multi-team implementation

• Degree in a relevant field (e.g., Interaction Design, Digital Media, Computer Science, HCI, Design, or a related discipline) accompanied by 3+ years of professional experience in Product Design or Design Systems
• Proven experience in Design Systems and/or DesignOps with a strong grasp of enterprise-grade component architecture
• Deep expertise in advanced Figma capabilities (Auto Layout, tokens, variables, shared libraries, versioning, and branching)
• You have a strong understanding of visual identity systems - typography, layout, and color - and know how to apply brand consistently across digital products
• Ability to communicate clearly with clients, present technical system choices, and bridge the gap between design intent and engineering
• High level of discretion, confidentiality, and trust in collaborating with clients on unreleased products and proprietary design infrastructure
• You think modularly and structurally rather than focusing on single-screen UI design ("system over re-design")
• Experience in mobility, automotive (HMI, commercial vehicles, Android Automotive OS), or complex product ecosystems is highly beneficial
• Excellent English (C1 level) is required, as you will be working directly with international client teams and internal stakeholders

• Participation as a central team member of a dynamic design consultancy, self-determined and independent work with direct connection to our partners, management and colleagues
• The best team in the world :)
• Flat hierarchies and the opportunity to contribute and implement your own ideas
• A lot of personal responsibility, room for creativity and personal development, and thus the chance to grow together with the company
• 30 days paid vacation, hybrid-work and meditation to promote work-life balance
• We balance work with family and private life (with a potential four day week if needed)
• Inhouse coaching and mentoring
