• Apply Human Engineering knowledge and principles to the analysis, design, and evaluation of complex systems.
• Define system performance requirements to ensure safe and successful human operation of physical, functional, and program interfaces for all system operators.
• Apply human performance principles, methodologies, and technologies to the design of complex systems.
• Develop and implement research methodologies and analysis plans to test and evaluate developmental prototypes.
• Apply knowledge of military standards (such as MIL-STD-1472, MIL-STD-1474, MIL-STD-1787, MIL-STD-3009, MIL-STD-411F) to meet program requirements.
• Coordinate with interdisciplinary teams to integrate HE considerations into the overall system design, development, and production.
• Conduct user engagement activities throughout the design process via interviews, focus groups, field studies, etc.
• Occasional business travel and after‑hours support may be required.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.

This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Top Secret/SCI Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. An interim pre‑start and final post‑start clearance is required.

Also requires the ability to obtain special program access, for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship only.
