Within this role, Candidate will be analysing and understanding the use-cases and concepts of operations performed by the pilots and help guide the Cockpit designs to ensure the best Human Factors principles are utilised throughout the Cockpit. Candidate will work closely with Test Pilots and the Flight Test community, plus Customer representatives to ensure appropriate Human Factors principles are applied to HMI designs; helping to deliver a product that keeps the Typhoon fighter aircraft at the cutting edge of technology.
Candidate will be involved with the development of the simulators used to demonstrate and test our designs during customer assessments, including a full-scale replica of the cockpit in an immersive environment, and testing aircraft equipment in flight prior to customer delivery. These powerful tools give Candidate the opportunity to learn how to operate the fast jets aircraft and put yourself in the position of the fighter pilot. This helps improve designs but this is also an experience unique to our team.
This role would suit somebody with a passion for design, optimising user experience and/or fast jets or Military Aviation.
As a Senior Human Factors Engineer, Candidate will assist in the development of HMI designs and schemes for the fast jets or Military Aviation Cockpit. Work Experience
