As usual for the automotive industry, only very little can be shared about what is worked on or who is worked with. I will still try to expand a bit on my key responsibilities:
My position as Senior Technical Designer was a hybrid role between project management, prototyping and consultation.
As Project Manager, I was responsible for multiple projects that were realised together with major car brands. Mostly, those revolved around HMI systems for vehicle prototypes and show cars, some of which are scheduled to hit the market in the near future. I was deeply embedded in the teams, having daily exchange with designers and developers and weekly meetings with the clients.
As Technical Designer I was involved hands-on in the creation of various applications that have been used as product pitches to potential clients, for internal product development and for RnD purposes. This included virtual reality experiences, mobile apps and multimedia tools.
Aside from preparing quotations and spec sheets for icon incar’s business activities, I was regularly consulting for other branches of the icon group in regard to the evaluation of feasibility and realisation of potential projects.
