Erhan is leading the development of our HMI Simulator in Virtual Reality at CarByte. With expertise in HMI development, connectivity, and immersive simulation, he focuses on advancing user experience design in automotive. CarByte's HMI Simulator enables early collaboration between exterior, interior, and HMI designers—eliminating the need for physical build-ups. By leveraging VR, teams can test and refine interfaces in a realistic, interactive environment, accelerating development and reducing costs.

The Pop in Your Job:
What excites me most is bridging the gap between concept and user experience. VR allows us to validate interactions in real time, making HMI development more efficient and user-centric.

CarByte is a technology partner driving the digital transformation of the automotive and mobility industry. As a technology facilitator with deep expertise in embedded software, connectivity, cloud services, cybersecurity, and AI-driven data analytics, we support the development of tailored solutions for software-defined vehicles (SDV) and connected mobility services. Our mission is to seamlessly integrate hardware products into the digital world. To achieve this, we combine consulting, management, and engineering expertise across all relevant domains, covering the entire digitalization value chain—from in-vehicle systems to IT infrastructure and user experience. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Stuttgart, CarByte has grown rapidly, now operating across six locations in Germany with nearly 200 employees. Despite our relatively young company history, we bring decades of experience in technology consulting and engineering, working on national and international projects for OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and industries beyond automotive. CarByte was never a "classic startup" but was founded to address a critical gap in the market—offering end-to-end solutions across all technical domains. Today, we support our customers in developing next-generation mobility technologies, including connected and autonomous vehicles, digital e-mobility services, online infotainment, and secure, scalable software architectures. As part of our innovation efforts, we are currently developing an HMI simulator in virtual reality (VR), enabling immersive testing and validation of advanced human-machine interfaces in a highly interactive and flexible environment.
