Flight Deck Integration and Human Factors Engineer

You will join the Flight deck Design and Human Factors team who ensures that the design of the aircraft hardware, software, human tasks, and work environment are compatible with the perceptual, cognitive, and physical attributes of the personnel who will assemble, operate, and support it. As part of the team, you will be responsible for the User Centered Design and certification of the Flight deck, including avionics Human Machine Interfaces and other equipment used by the pilots.

You will participate in design and evaluation of cockpit interfaces through prototyping, simulation, analysis and usability tests. More specifically, you will:

• Participate in engineering-related User Centered Design activities related to Flight Deck and Human Machine Interface Design (HMI).
• Deploy cognitive and physical ergonomics expertise to support tests and analysis.
• Elaborate and conduct scenario-based testing of Flight Deck systems
• Develop system HMI simulations.
• Interact with Flight Crews to develop and assess overall cockpit physical and cognitive usability.
• Support requirements development, task analysis, and human error analysis.
• Participate in flight deck and user experience (UX) development and evaluation in line with BA flight deck philosophy.
• Create and manage documentation for Human Factors activities related to new aircraft, significant cockpit modifications and sustaining programs.
• Collaborate with human factors specialists in maintenance, manufacturing and maintainability.
