Job details

You will: Deploy cognitive ergonomics expertise to support design, tests and analysis of Human-Machine Interfaces. Support requirements development, task analysis, and human error analysis. Develop system Human Machine Interface (HMI) simulations and prototypes. Create and manage documentation for Human Factors activities related to new aircraft, significant cockpit modifications and sustaining programs. Elaborate and conduct User Centered Design activities related to Flight deck HMI. Perform scenario-based Flight deck and User eXperience (UX) evaluation in line with BA Flight deck philosophy. Interact with Flight Crews to develop and assess overall cockpit physical and cognitive usability. Support certification effort for 1302 and other Human Factors related regulations. Interact with several programs / platforms. Job Description You possess a Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Science and a Degree in Cognitive Ergonomics, Psychology, Industrial Design or equivalent. You have practical experience in cognitive ergonomics (cognition, perception, decision making, workload, situation awareness, human error) and notions of physical ergonomics (anthropometry, strength, reach, vision). You have a relevant experience (10 years) and knowledge in the Aerospace industry, including especially aircraft systems, flight operations, regulatory environment, and design standards (e.g. MIL STD, SAE ARP, ARINC, etc.). You are resourceful in computer-based tools, autonomous in learning and adapting easily to new software. You are an organized and self-motivated team player, capable to work with or without supervision, with good technical writing and oral presentation skills (English required, French an asset).
