Staff Engineer, Human Factors
Shield AI, Washington, District of Columbia, us, 20022
As a Human Factors Engineer, you will work on real-world projects focused on manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) concepts that impact the design, operation, interaction, management, and analysis of intelligent unmanned aerial systems. You will work alongside a team of passionate and driven engineers, user experience (UX) designers, product managers as well as interact with subject matter experts (SMEs) in unmanned systems operations. Join our team and shape the future of artificially intelligent systems.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
Review and select human factors methodologies; adapt and apply them to the design and evaluation of our productsConduct field research using ethnographic methods and cognitive task analysis to develop and validate system requirementsContribute to use case, user stories and scenario development that drive product design processesCollaborate with UX designers to create and review impactful human-machine interface designs and prototypesAdvocate for human perceptual and cognitive considerations as they apply to sense-making and decision-making toolsEnsure compliance with customer human factors standardsPresent interface designs and prototypes to multiple audiences for feedback and/or handoffConduct testing in order to approve software features and releasesPrepare test plans that collect quantitative and qualitative data in modeling and simulation contexts as well as live flight testsRecommend and write requirements for human-machine interface instrumentation that provides improved insights to user interactionsReview and provide feedback on technical documentation and systems engineering documentationConduct literature reviews and create written summaries and briefings containing recommendations for our productsTravel to company, test, and customer locations to conduct project workREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Minimum five years of experience and Master's degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., human factors engineering/psychology, cognitive systems engineering, integrated systems engineering, industrial engineering, applied cognitive science, information science, or related discipline), or seven years of experience and a bachelor's degree, or four years of experience and a Ph.D.Prior experience in a multidisciplinary settingPrior experience developing and executing research or test plans involving human subjectsKnowledge of human factors and human performance concepts and theoriesPassion for solving complex problems while navigating constraints and trade-offs in a fast-paced settingStrong written and verbal communication skillsThe ability to obtain and maintain a US Security Clearance. US citizenship is required as only US citizens are eligible for a security clearance.PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Experience with MUM-T, human-robot interaction or artificial intelligence applicationsExperience with human-machine interface design, in particular ground control stations
