Human Factors Engineer Job Description
The military operating environment is becoming more complex and new technical capabilities are required to ensure operational advantage. We believe that integration of Human Factors is critical to the development of safe, usable and effective weapon systems. The Human Factors department is responsible for ensuring that user capability is fully considered in the weapon system, from initial concept design through development and delivery to the customer.
You will be joining a team recognised by the UK MoD as an industry leader in the delivery of Human Factors Integration where you will be able to influence systems as they develop from concept to delivery and gain first‑hand experience of working with military users.
Our team works transversally across projects through the development lifecycle, providing capabilities to users across Land, Air and Sea with ongoing projects across Battlefield, Surface Attack, Deep Strike & Air Defence domains.
Responsibilities
In your role you will be part of the Human Factors team defining the HF elements of an anti-ship weapon system and its mission planning and control solution against a Naval Surface Warfare requirement. We are looking for a highly capable and enthusiastic Human Factors Engineer to support definition of the Human Computer Interface for the mission planning and control solution, including conduct of a structured programme of user engagement. Responsibilities include:
- Conduct Human Factors Integration through the development lifecycle, providing progressive assurance to the customer as per Def Stan 00-251
- Analyse and assess the role of the operator within the weapon system, considering weapon system mission planning and control
- Define and maintain HCI design and specification artefacts
- Define and conduct user engagement activities to inform design as part of a Human‑Centred Design approach
- Support and work closely with wider systems teams, including provision of briefings where required
- Coordinate across teams to provide inputs to demonstrator requirements and organise and conduct user engagement events
