· You will have the unique opportunity to directly shape the future of HMI design by managing and operating the HMI User Research Lab in our San Jose office.
· Leverage your experience leading user research programs with a specific focus in automotive HMI.

Here is what you'll need to be successful:

You have first-hand experience in driving change through research and user advocacy. You explore new methods and seek opportunities to continuously improve research methods to ensure Xperi solutions deliver extraordinary experiences.
· You are an exceptional communicator with mastery in both verbal and written communication methods. You have mature listening skills and are very comfortable giving and receiving feedback. You seek first to understand, then be understood.
· You consistently demonstrate excellent time management skills, with the ability to work independently and in a team environment. You can prioritize, handle multiple tasks simultaneously, manage expectations, and meet deadlines.
