End-to-End System and Product Design for Software-Defined Vehicle Platform

About the Client
A global mobility OEM (confidential) undertaking the development of a multi-variant, software-defined vehicle (SDV) platform. The client required a technology partner to lead product and variant-level design, aligned with a multi-year serial launch strategy.
The Challenge
The project demanded more than just designing a biometric seat control system — it required a future-ready platform adaptable across multiple SDV product variants, while meeting tight timelines and stringent functional safety goals.
Key challenges included:
- Delivering an integrated product design approach aligned to evolving SDV architecture
- Managing multiple variant launches under a unified platform strategy
- Balancing user-centric innovation with automotive safety and regulatory requirements
- Supporting a multi-year development roadmap with seamless transition across design phases
The Solution
We delivered an end-to-end design solution encompassing core system definition, concept development, and product validation.
Key solution elements included:
- Concept creation and feasibility studies tailored to the SDV platform
- Design of the biometric seat control system and future-ready variants
- Proof of Concepts (POCs) to validate design assumptions and functional integration
- Focused delivery aligned with functional safety requirements
- Continuous collaboration with the client’s product strategy and engineering teams
- Structured design process covering concept to validation across multiple serial programs
The Impact
The solution enabled a successful product launch and long-term adaptability:
- Delivered a user-centric, safety-compliant biometric system for SDV platforms
- Reduced time-to-launch by streamlining concept-to-validation workflows
- Established a scalable variant design approach aligned to client’s roadmap
- Strengthened client trust through consistent delivery across multiple programs
