Responsibilities

1.Global Design DNA Implementation

•Interpret and implement Ford's global design DNA (including visual language, interaction patterns, motion, and brand guidelines) into HMI design requirements for JV and export programs, ensuring consistency with global standards.

•Develop and refine HMI-specific design specifications, checklists, and guidelines tailored to JV and export projects, aligning global DNA with regional regulatory and user needs.

2.Design Requirement Definition & Governance

•Define detailed UI/UX design requirements for HMI in JV and export programs, covering components such as clusters, infotainment interfaces, and control logic, based on global design DNA.

•Conduct HMI design reviews and sign-offs for JV and export programs to verify compliance with global DNA, brand standards, and functional requirements.

3.Cross-Stakeholder Collaboration

•Collaborate closely with JV teams, IMG Export stakeholders, product managers, and feature owners to align HMI design direction with program goals, user needs, and technical feasibility.

4.Design Iteration & User-Centric Refinement

•Collect user feedback, usability test results, and market insights from JV and export markets to iterate on HMI designs, ensuring they balance global DNA with regional user preferences.

•Update HMI design documentation (e.g., Icon/component libraries, interaction guidelines) for JV and export programs, incorporating learnings from implementation and user feedback.

5.Delivery & Alignment Support

•Support JV and IMG Export teams in the execution of HMI designs, providing guidance on resolving design-implementation gaps while maintaining adherence to global requirements.

•Track HMI design deliverables for JV and export programs to ensure quality compliance, and alignment with program milestones.

Qualifications

Education

Bachelor’s degree (Human-Computer Interaction, Automotive Design, or a related field)

No. of Years of Experience: 5+ years of experience in HMI UI/UX design, preferably with a focus on automotive digital products (e.g., in-vehicle infotainment, cluster interfaces)

Professional / Functional Skills:

•Strong understanding of user-centered design principles and experience translating global brand/design DNA into HMI-specific design solutions for diverse markets.

•Proficiency in HMI design tools (e.g., Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD) and prototyping tools (e.g., InVision, Marvel) to create interactive HMI prototypes and design specifications.

•Excellent ability to collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, including JV teams, IMG Export partners, product managers, and engineers, to align HMI design with program requirements.

•Familiarity with automotive HMI regulations, industry standards, and user behavior in export markets is preferred.

•Strong verbal and written communication skills in both English and Chinese, with the ability to articulate HMI design rationale and requirements to global and local stakeholders.

•Ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple HMI design projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment, ensuring alignment with program timelines.
