These challenges await you:

* 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:
