You will be based at our client on the west coast of Sweden, in an international automotive design / lighting environment. This is a longterm, full-time, on-site assignment.

📝 JOB DESCRIPTION

Our client is looking for a highly skilled Light Designer to help define lighting solutions for vehicles — across interior and exterior — by conceiving, simulating, and prototyping advanced lighting concepts that merge brand identity, safety, and emotion.

You will collaborate with Exterior & Interior Design, CMF, UX and Engineering to deliver future-forward lighting implementation that meets regulatory and performance targets.

You will create and deliver lighting concepts for interior and exterior (ambient, functional, and communication lighting). You will develop lighting solutions that match the vehicle's design character and technical constraints, suggesting light integrations into the vehicle's form (surfaces, gaps, joints, materials).

You will use the lighting toolchain (visualisation, simulation, VR) to validate light effects, integration, and feasibility. You will create and lead engaging presentations that convey intent to stakeholders and suppliers, and validate concepts by building prototypes internally and externally.
