Ground Control Station and HMI System Engineer

Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

• Define HMI concepts, logics, and interaction flows, ensuring consistency, clarity, and alignment with operator mental models.
• Take part of the design & development the Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) of the cockpit displays, Flight Warning System and flight awareness system
• Apply Human Factors Engineering principles to deliver user-centred HMI designs that reduce workload and prevent human error.
• Collaborate closely with BVLOS pilots, operators and other engineers to gather requirements, validate usability, and optimize workflows for real-world mission needs.
• Work on System Description Document (SDD) and Interface control document (ICD)
• Support producing flight manuals, operator manuals, and supporting documentation to ensure safe and effective system use.
• Work with regulatory authorities, such as GCAA to generate necessary evidence and documentation for certification and airworthiness compliance.
• Partner with cross-functional teams, including software development, validation, verification teams, and subcontractors, to integrate HMI designs into the overall system architecture.
• Support system-level validation and verification activities, including human-in-the-loop testing and performance assessments.
• Design high-clarity displays for geospatial, telemetry, and system health information that enable rapid, accurate comprehension of the UAS state.
• Develop safety-driven visual hierarchies for alerts and warnings that communicate urgency effectively without inducing stress or alarm fatigue.
• Define associated Verification and Validation means
• Write test procedures and perform them on the appropriate means (simulator and test benches)
• Support flight tests and Analyze the test data to verify system performance and functionality

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Industrial Design, or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional experience in HMI/GUI design for safety-critical systems in aviation.
