• Assess concepts for feasibility in a series-production Android Automotive environment; identify technical, safety or regulatory adaptation needs and initiate required changes.
• Create and maintain implementation and handover specifications (screens, flow & state charts, implementation notes, Car App templates) for development partners.
• Prepare prototype adjustments, wireframes and mockups for validation and support implementation in Android development environments.
• Closely accompany the implementation phase with internal teams and external development partners; coordinate feedback loops and prioritization.
• Support validations, usability checks and release reviews; track open items through to series release.
• Document changes, maintain specification baselines and present results in workshops and review meetings with stakeholders.

• Experience with multi-display / cluster vs. head-unit layouts and cross-display coordination (infotainment, instrument cluster, HUD).
• Knowledge of platform constraints and performance optimization: GPU/CPU limits, memory constraints, compositor/Surface Flinger behavior, display composition, refresh rates and latency mitigation.
• Experience with localization/internationalization, accessibility (e.g., screen readers, high-contrast modes) and scalability across resolutions and languages for series products.
• Hands-on skills in Android development and debugging:
  Android Studio, Kotlin/Java, Gradle, ADB, logcat, systrace/perfetto, and head-unit emulator testing.
