What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Factors Engineering, Ergonomics, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Cognitive Psychology, Engineering Psychology, or a closely related field.
  • 1–3 years of relevant experience in human factors engineering, ergonomics, usability testing, or a related discipline.

  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and observational skills with excellent attention to detail.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical teams.
  • Ability to travel as needed.
  • Must successfully complete a pre-employment background check and drug screening and be eligible for Public Trust clearance.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
