Role Overview
- We are looking for a Human Factors & Ergonomics Engineer with 2 years of experience to support cockpit, cabin, and system design from a human-centred, certification-aligned perspective. The role involves close collaboration with Product Design, UX, Structures, Avionics, and Certification teams to ensure safe, usable, and compliant aircraft designs.
- This is a hands-on role that requires strong fundamentals in ergonomics, anthropometry, usability analysis, and documentation.
Key Responsibilities
Human Factors & Ergonomics
- Support ergonomic layout development for:
- Cockpit (pilot seat, controls, displays, reach & visibility)
- Cabin (passenger seating, ingress/egress, restraints)
- Special use cases (air ambulance, cargo, GCS, simulator)
- Perform anthropometric analysis using 5th–95th percentile human models.
- Evaluate reach, clearance, posture, visibility, and comfort for pilots and passengers.
- Assist in defining control placement, display readability, and interaction logic.
Design & Development Support
1.Work closely with Product Design & UX teams to translate HF requirements into:
- CAD layouts
- Cross-sectional drawings
- Interface concepts
2. Support mock-up, prototype, and simulator evaluations.
3. Participate in user persona studies (pilot, passenger, paramedic, operator)
Certification & Documentation
- Assist in generating Human Factors reports aligned with:
- FAA / EASA / DGCA guidelines (as applicable)
- eVTOL-specific certification requirements
- Support compliance documentation, including:
- Ergonomic justifications
- Usability assessments
- Assumptions and limitations
- Help review supplier designs (seats, controls, interiors) from an HF standpoint.
Testing & Validation
- Support usability testing, pilot evaluations, and feedback analysis.
- Assist in identifying human error risks and mitigation strategies.
- Document findings and propose design improvements.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in:
- Human Factors Engineering
- Industrial Design
- Ergonomics
- Aerospace / Mechanical Engineering (with HF exposure)
- 1–2 years of relevant experience in:
- Aviation, automotive, rail, medical devices, or safety-critical systems
- Basic understanding of:
- Anthropometry
- Ergonomic principles
- Human-machine interaction
Required Skills
- Understanding of human factors in safety-critical systems
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and layouts
- Familiarity with CAD tools (CATIA, NX, SolidWorks, or similar – basic level is sufficient)
- Good documentation and communication skills
- Structured thinking and attention to detail
Good to Have
- Exposure to:
- Cockpit or vehicle interior design
- Simulation or mock-up testing
- Certification environments
2. Familiarity with:
- FAA Human Factors guidelines
- MIL-STD / SAE / ISO ergonomics standards
3. Experience working with designers and engineers together
What We’re Looking For (Mindset Fit)
- Strong attention to safety and usability
- Willingness to learn certification-driven design
- Comfortable working in early-stage, fast-moving product teams
- Clear, honest communication and respect for cross-functional workflows
