CONTRACT Human Factors and Ergonomics - Professional (Montreal)

Human Factors and Ergonomics - Professional

In this group, we ensure that the design of the aircraft hardware, software, human tasks, and work environment are compatible with the perceptual, cognitive, and physical attributes of the personnel who will assemble, operate, and support it. We are responsible for the User Centered Design and certification of the Flight deck, including avionics Human Machine Interfaces and other equipment used by the pilots.

What are your contributions to the team?

You will participate in cockpit geometry and interfaces design through iterative development involving 3D modeling, simulation & analysis, rig testing and product evaluation. You will define interfaces specifications (physical and functional) and develop interface requirements.

More specifically, you will:

• Participate in engineering-related User Centered Design activities related to Flight Deck and Human Machine Interface Design (HMI)
• Deploy physical ergonomics expertise to support tests and analysis.
• Interact with Flight Crews to develop and assess overall cockpit physical usability
• Support requirements elicitation, validation and verification for flightdeck interfaces
• Support task analysis and human error analysis.
• Participate in flight deck and User eXperience (UX) development and evaluation in line with BA flight deck philosophy.
• Create and manage documentation for Human Factors activities related to new aircraft, significant cockpit modifications and sustaining programs.
• Collaborate with human factors specialists in maintenance, manufacturing

How to thrive in this role?

• You possess a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering / Science or Industrial Design, and a Degree in ergonomics or equivalent.
• You have a practical experience in physical ergonomics (anthropometry, strength, reach, vision)
• You have solid practical experience with various 3D modeling tools (CATIA, NX, Jack, Rhinoceros etc.)
• You have interest, relevant experience and knowledge in the Aerospace industry, including aircraft systems (Mechanical systems, Avionics, System Controls, Propulsion, etc.) and Regulatory environment.
• You are knowledgeable in manufacturing processes

Additionally,

• You possess good technical writing and oral presentation skills (English is required, French is an asset).
• You are resourceful, capable to absorb a large quantity of information, and able to plan and execute experiments, evaluations and tests for validation and verification.
• You are an organized and self-motivated team player, capable to work with or without supervision, able to work under pressure and adjust to changing priorities.
• You show initiative, efficiency, have a strong sense of responsibility and integrity, good interpersonal communication skills and technical judgment.
