Responsibilities:

With your user-cantered mindset, you’ll act as the lead designer on a range of upcoming seating projects, channelling the needs of the passenger, customer, and business to produce rich, compelling designs.

Specifically, you’ll conduct explorative and evaluative research to gain insights into future seat designs, run and contribute towards creative workshops to generate ideas, and visualise your ideas and designs through sketches and software.
