Job title: Bachelorarbeit im Bereich Interieur-Design: Designkonzept für eine modulares Lenkrad in Nutzfahrzeugen

About the Role As part of your Bachelor thesis in the field of interior design, Autoliv South Germany invites you to develop a design concept for a modular steering wheel in commercial vehicles. The concept should be based on a modular system with three different diameters and address ergonomic, HMI, and production-cost considerations, delivering at least one near-series variant.

What You'll Do

• Develop an interior design concept for a modular steering wheel for commercial vehicles based on a system with three diameters.
• Explore variable form with two, three, or four spokes; create modular variants with zero, one, or two switches per diameter; align switch and spoke designs.
• Consider design options such as leather cover and PU surfaces; ensure ergonomic fit and HMI integration.
• Develop at least one near-production variant taking production requirements and Design-to-Cost into account.
• Collaborate with international teams and communicate in German and English.

What We're Looking For

• Studies: Transportation Design / Vehicle Design, Industrial Design / Product Design, Industrial Design Engineering, Mobility Design or comparable programs.
• Proficiency with typical design tools (e.g., Blender or equivalent).
• Strong sense for form, aesthetics, proportions and technical understanding.
• Creative and conceptual, solution-oriented thinking; careful, diligent and independent working style.
• Enjoy working in international teams; strong German and English communication skills.

Nice to Have

• Sensitivity for material surfaces such as leather and PU; awareness of production feasibility is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits

• Not specified in the posting.
