Inter IKEA is the franchise owner of IKEA, and IKEA Planning experience (IPEX) is a department that develops interactive tools, which customers and co-workers world-wide use online and in the IKEA stores. These tools include everything from planning your new kitchen, bathroom or wardrobes, to exploring the curtain- and smart home ranges to see how they fit your needs.

We are now looking for 2 student that can write their Master thesis at IPEX from January to June 2023.

Living up to the IKEA vision: Creating a better everyday life for the many people.

IPEX is putting extensive efforts into making all our products accessible to the many people. While web content accessibility is generally a solved problem, making 3D experiences accessible does not have many examples in the wild.

We have identified that we need to re-evaluate some user experiences and enhance others to enable screen readers and keyboard navigation among other solutions. While the goals include making accessible experiences for everyone, we currently focus on actual WCAG guidelines. With a big portfolio it is also very important for us to be able to synergize and create opportunities to learn between our teams by building on each other’s work.

A curious mind can do wonders!
We are looking for passionate master’s student in the fields of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Data/IT Technology, with knowledge of UX, that can help us in this journey.
You will be working with all the development teams as well as a dedicated accessibility task force.

If you have any questions about the role please contact, IKEA supervisor Sigurdur Sigge Birgisson ([email protected]).
We are looking forward to your application! Please submit both your CV and motivational letter in English by latest 4th of December.
We are reviewing applications as they come through so don’t wait to apply!

Please Note: To take part in the Thesis, you have to be enrolled in a Thesis course provided at university level/Thesis agreement within Sweden.
