Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosh Bayer is a Lead UI/UX Design Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building specialty vehicles and human-machine interfaces, currently leading HMI prototyping and design-engineering integration at Rivian. He began in Rivian’s Special Projects group where he designed custom electrical systems, led early hardware prototyping, and developed control systems for one-off builds, giving him rare fluency across hardware, controls, and UX. Josh bridges creative design and production reality, acting as the key liaison between UX and engineering to ensure technically feasible, user-forward features make it into vehicles. Based in Pittsburgh, he combines an electrical engineering foundation from Purdue and Stuttgart with a pragmatic, prototype-first approach summed up wryly on GitHub as “I politely ask hardware to do nice things.”
