Job Description:
Human Factors Engineering is responsible for a holistic development of Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) for all relevant operators workstations within Military Air platforms, e.g. cockpits, flight decks, mission consoles and ground control stations. Human-machine interface Design aims at designing the best interface between people and their activities using the best technologies, the best User Interface principles and the best 'design and validation' methodologies such as prototyping methods

System Engineering
Human-Machine interaction
User Interface/Interaction
User Experience
software ergonomics

The job mainly consist on the application of Human Factors Engineering (HFE) to ensure a user-centered Workstation/HMI design according to Human Factors criteria:

Classical ergonomics criteria: Visibility, reachability, physical usability, ingress and egress.
Cognitive ergonomics criteria: operators workload, usability, situational awareness, human error.
Environmental aspects affecting operation: Lighting, NVIS compatibility, noise.

TASKS & RESPONSIBILITIES:





Workstations design (cockpits, flight decks, mission consoles and ground control stations), including the definition of geometry, layout and furnishing
HMI Design and multimodal interaction: Control Units, indicators and displays and moding (Graphical User Interface), interaction means.
Application of end-to-end HFE process along systems life cycle from early analysis during concept definitions up to entry into service.
Mission analysis, task analysis, ergonomic analysis, workload analysis and Human Error Analysis,
HMI prototyping, both HW and SW, according to system development phase, e.g. virtual models/simulations and physical mock-ups.
Human Factors V&V;: User centered design reviews, demonstrations, validation and testing
Human Factors qualification and certification

SKILLS:
- Education: Aeronautical or Industrial Engineering degree or a related discipline.
- Languages: Advanced level in Engli
