Design Engineer (Software Development C++)

RE:LAB is a design and innovation company specialized in shaping the interaction between people and complex technologies.
Since 2004, we have been working on products and systems used daily across the automotive, industrial, and consumer sectors. Our goal is to make advanced technology understandable, safe, and natural to use.
We don’t just design interfaces. We design experiences that bring together design, engineering, human factors, and artificial intelligence. We partner with global companies when user experience is not a detail, but a critical factor for a product’s success—when adoption, safety, and user trust truly make the difference.
At RE:LAB, we believe technology should feel human. This belief guides the way we work, the design decisions we make, and the relationships we build every day.
