Key Responsibilities:
- Define HMI concepts, logics, and interaction flows, ensuring consistency, clarity, and alignment with operator mental models.
- Take part of the design & development the Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) of the cockpit displays, Flight Warning System and flight awareness system
- Apply Human Factors Engineering principles to deliver user-centred HMI designs that reduce workload and prevent human error.
- Collaborate closely with BVLOS pilots, operators and other engineers to gather requirements, validate usability, and optimize workflows for real-world mission needs.
- Work on System Description Document (SDD) and Interface control document (ICD)
- Support producing flight manuals, operator manuals, and supporting documentation to ensure safe and effective system use.
- Work with regulatory authorities, such as GCAA to generate necessary evidence and documentation for certification and airworthiness compliance.
- Partner with cross-functional teams, including software development, validation, verification teams, and subcontractors, to integrate HMI designs into the overall system architecture.
- Support system-level validation and verification activities, including human-in-the-loop testing and performance assessments.
- Design high-clarity displays for geospatial, telemetry, and system health information that enable rapid, accurate comprehension of the UAS state.
- Develop safety-driven visual hierarchies for alerts and warnings that communicate urgency effectively without inducing stress or alarm fatigue.
- Define associated Verification and Validation means
- Write test procedures and perform them on the appropriate means (simulator and test benches)
- Support flight tests and Analyze the test data to verify system performance and functionality
Qualifications & Experience:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Industrial Design, or a related field.
- 5+ years of professional experience in HMI/GUI design for safety-critical systems in aviation.
- Good understanding of AMC 27.1302 or MIL-STD-1472
- Strong understanding of safety-critical system design and relevant certification processes (e.g., ARP4761).
- Experience in applying Human Factors and ergonomics principles to the design of Cockpit or Ground Control Station.
- Experience with requirements management tools (e.g., Polarian or DOORS).
- Familiarity with aircraft systems
- Experience/Familiarity with System Safety Assessments, Failure Hazard Analysis, and Certification/Test plans.
- Very good knowledge of the English language
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team.
