The Senior Human Factors Engineer will be responsible for activities including:

• Plan and conduct Human Factors Engineering and ergonomics activities throughout the system development lifecycle.
• Perform task analysis, workload assessment, human reliability analysis, situation awareness assessment, and operational scenario analysis.
• Evaluate Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), operator displays, alarms, controls, and workstation layouts.
• Support the design and assessment of control rooms, command-and-control environments, operator consoles, and other complex human-system interfaces.
• Develop and execute scenario-based evaluations and validation activities.
• Identify human-performance risks and support the definition of design requirements and mitigation measures.
• Contribute to system requirements development, allocation, traceability, and verification.
• Prepare and maintain controlled engineering deliverables, technical reports, assessment records, and supporting evidence.
• Participate in technical reviews such as Preliminary Design Reviews, Intermediate Design Reviews, Final Design Reviews, safety reviews, and customer review cycles.
• Facilitate multidisciplinary workshops involving systems engineering, safety, operations, software, hardware, design, and customer representatives.
• Review customer and stakeholder comments and support resolution and closure of technical actions.
• Support compliance assessments against applicable Human Factors, ergonomics, safety, and engineering standards.

• Minimum 5 years of professional experience in Human Factors Engineering, ergonomics, human-system integration, or a related discipline.
• Significant experience working on complex or safety-critical systems, such as transportation, aerospace, defence, energy, industrial automation, or similar environments.
• Demonstrated experience in several of the following areas:
• Human reliability
• Task analysis
• Workload assessment
• Situation awareness
• Alarm management
• Control-room ergonomics
• Human-Machine Interface evaluation
• Operational scenario analysis
• Human-in-the-loop validation
• Experience supporting operator-facing or mission-critical systems such as control centres, command-and-control systems, integrated control systems, operator displays, monitoring systems, or signalling/control applications.
• Experience preparing formal and controlled engineering documentation.
• Experience supporting engineering…
