Requirements
Qualifications include a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Industrial Design, with at least 5 years of professional experience in HMI/GUI design for safety-critical aviation systems. Strong understanding of Human Factors, ergonomics, safety-critical system design, and relevant certification processes is required. Experience with requirements management tools and familiarity with aircraft systems are also essential.
Description
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 systemApply 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 meansWrite 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 functionalityQualifications & 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-1472Strong 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 systemsExperience/Familiarity with System Safety Assessments, Failure Hazard Analysis, and Certification/Test plans.Very good knowledge of the English languageStrong analytical skills and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team.
