Job Description

The Senior HSI/HFE Systems Engineer applies working knowledge of systems engineering fundamentals for both unmanned remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and manned submersible systems to provide guidance to the division’s engineering and design activities under the direction of a program manager and lead engineer. The Senior HSI/HFE Systems Engineer will be required to interact with other OTECH personnel and guides engineering efforts to meet the client’s requirements. The Senior HSI/HFE Systems Engineer will provide guidance to engineering design efforts, with a focus on Human Systems, through the development of systems engineering documentation, including concepts of operations (CONOPS), operational scenarios and vignettes, requirements specifications, interface control documents and drawings, task and workload analyses, and participation in the development of human-centric test plans and procedures.

Responsibilities

The candidate for this position will at a minimum have the responsibility to perform but could also be asked to lead in each of the seven established domains of HSI, as follows:

1) Human Factors Engineering (HFE)

  • Derive, allocate, and trace human engineering requirements to system, subsystem, and interface levels; develop HFE specifications using MIL‑STD‑1472H and MIL‑HDBK‑46855A.
  • Plan and execute user research (context-of-use analyses, task/functional analyses, workload, situation awareness), human-in-the-loop (HITL) evaluations, and usability testing using formative and summative methods.
  • Conduct cognitive and physical ergonomics analyses (e.g., anthropometry, reach envelopes, biomechanics, vision/hearing, control/display design, alerting, and crew station layout).
  • Familiarity with both hardware and software GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) and UX (User Experience)/UI (User Interface) will be needed
  • Perform human performance modeling (e.g., timeline analysis, workload assessments, and error analysis) to inform system architecture and risk mitigations.
  • Generate Human Engineering Program Plan (HEPP), Human View (DoDAF HV) artifacts, and maintain HFE requirements traceability (e.g., in Cradle/DOORS/Jama).

Primary References: MIL‑STD‑1472H (Human Engineering); MIL‑HDBK‑46855A (Human Engineering Program Processes and Procedures); DoDI 5000.95 (Human Systems Integration in Defense Acquisition); DoDI 5000.02 (Operation of the Adaptive Acquisition Framework).

2) Manpower

  • Determine manpower requirements from operational concepts and CONOPS, aligning with affordability and readiness goals.
  • Conduct workload distribution and staffing analyses to minimize/optimize crew size while maintaining mission effectiveness.
  • Support organizational design for maintenance and operations, aligning with manpower constraints and doctrine.

Primary References: DoDI 5000.95 (HSI); DoDI 1100.22 (Policy and Procedures for Determining Workforce Mix).

3) Personnel

  • Define knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) required for operators and maintainers; ensure personnel specifications match design assumptions.
  • Establish selection and qualification criteria; coordinate with service communities on Military Occupational Safety (MOS)/ratings impacts.

Primary References: DoDI 5000.95 (HSI); MIL‑STD‑1472H (personnel attributes considerations).

4) Training

  • Derive training requirements and conduct Front-End Analysis and job/task analysis to determine training system content and media (live, virtual, and/or constructive).
  • Specify training device fidelity and interfaces; support embedded training and performance support in the operational system.
  • Develop Training System Requirements Analysis (TSRA), training effectiveness evaluations, and acceptance criteria.

Primary References: DoDI 5000.95 (HSI); MIL‑STD‑1472H (training considerations); applicable service training system guides.

5) Environmental, Safety & Occupational Health (ESOH)

  • Perform human-centered hazard analyses and integrate mitigations consistent with MIL‑STD‑882E (System Safety) and MIL-STD-1472.
  • Assess environmental and occupational health risks (e.g., noise, vibration, thermal stress, acceleration, and chemicals), coordinating with industrial hygiene and medical communities.
  • Support System Safety Program Plan (SSPP), HF hazard logs, and ALARP risk acceptance.

Primary References: MIL‑STD‑882E (System Safety); MIL-STD-1472H (Human Engineering); DoDI 5000.02; DoDI 6055 series (DoD Safety and Occupational Health).

6) Habitability

  • Define and verify living/working conditions (e.g., space, lighting, thermal comfort, noise, sanitation, privacy, berthing, and food service) for sustained operations.
  • Ensure habitability provisions meet mission duration and environmental requirements (shipboard, land, and/or air).

Primary References: MIL‑STD‑1472H (habitability and environmental design); service-unique habitability criteria (e.g., NAVSEA/ABS references where applicable).

7) Survivability (Human Survivability)

  • Analyze crew protection (e.g., ballistic, blast, CBRN, crashworthiness, and egress) and mission continuation under threat; influence layout and materials to protect personnel.
  • Integrate warning systems, situational awareness, and procedural and training mitigations.

Primary References: DoDI 5000.95 (HSI survivability); MIL‑STD‑1472H (alerts/displays); service survivability guides.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

  • BS in Human Factors, Industrial/Systems Engineering, Physics, Cognitive Science, Ergonomics, or related field; MS preferred.
  • 3–5+ years applied HSI/HFE in DoD acquisition or similar safety-critical domain (maritime, aviation, space, ground-based).
  • Demonstrated experience with MIL‑STD‑1472, MIL‑STD‑882, DoDI 5000-series HSI integration, and conducting HITL testing.
  • Proficiency with human performance tools (task analysis, timeline/workload analysis).
  • Supporting requirements management (i.e. Cradle, DOORS, Jama) and model-based SE (SysML).
  • Experience contributing to and possibly writing HSIPP/HEPP, HFE test protocols, evaluations, and presenting at design reviews.
  • Strong communication, stakeholder engagement, and data reporting skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Professional certifications: Board of Certification in Professional Ergonomics (CPE/CHFP), Human Factors and Ergonomics Society involvement.
  • Experience with DoDAF, MBSE (SysML/UML), human modeling (e.g., JACK, RAMSIS), simulation (MATLAB/Simulink), and VR/AR for human-in-the-loop, and statistical tools (JMP/Minitab/R/Python).
  • Familiarity with service-specific criteria (e.g. DoD 5000 Series, NAVSEA design guides, INCOSE human engineering).
  • Experience in OT&E (Operations Test & Evaluation), fleet/user engagement, and joint programs.

We offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package. Employee benefits vary by role, however, may include Health and Wellness, Mental Health, Retirement Savings, Life and Disability, Paid Maternity and Parental Leave, Paid Time Off, Tuition Reimbursement, and an Employee Assistance Program.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
