Job Title: Human Systems Engineer
Location: Dayton, Ohio
Who You Are:You are fascinated by the point where the human and the machine meet.
Can the operator reach the control? Can they see the display? Does the equipment fit? Does the system accommodate the intended population? What happens when posture, body proportions, equipment, workload, or mission requirements change?
You want to collect good data, understand what happened, find meaningful patterns, and turn observations into engineering conclusions that can withstand technical scrutiny.
You understand that the numbers represent real people interacting with real equipment in operational environments.
What You'll Do: - Help plan and conduct human-systems, aircraft, equipment, and laboratory evaluations.
- Develop and refine evaluation procedures and data-collection methodologies.
- Conduct anthropometric measurements using established laboratory procedures.
- Support human-subject research activities.
- Evaluate cockpit, crew-station, mission-equipment, aircrew-equipment, and protective-equipment interfaces.
- Collect engineering, anthropometric, operational, and observational data.
- Verify data quality, completeness, consistency, and technical traceability.
- Perform engineering and statistical analyses.
- Evaluate trends, anomalies, body-size effects, and human-system interactions.
- Integrate scientific findings with engineering and operational observations.
- Use 3D scanning, metrology, biomechanics instrumentation, and analytical tools.
- Support Digital Human Modeling and simulation activities where applicable.
- Develop figures, charts, tables, graphics, and technical visualizations.
- Prepare engineering reports, technical memoranda, evaluation documentation, and recommendations.
- Present technical findings during project reviews and customer briefings.
- Maintain data integrity, repeatability, configuration control, and technical documentation.
- Help improve evaluation methodologies, data-collection techniques, analysis approaches, and technical-reporting processes.
Minimum Qualifications/What You'll Bring: - Academic, research, internship, military, or professional experience supporting engineering, laboratory research, human systems, biomechanics, or related technical activities.
- Strong analytical and technical problem-solving ability.
- Experience collecting and analyzing engineering or scientific data.
- Ability to work with human subjects, aircraft, laboratory equipment, and multidisciplinary technical teams.
- Strong technical documentation and communication skills.
- Interest or experience in anthropometry, Human Systems Integration, aircraft accommodation, biomechanics, Human Factors Engineering, or related disciplines.
Nice to Haves: - 2+ years of technical, engineering, or research experience.
- Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomechanics, Human Factors, or related background.
- Aircraft, aircrew-equipment, or protective-equipment evaluation experience.
- Anthropometric measurement experience.
- MATLAB, Excel, or statistical-analysis experience.
- 3D scanning, motion capture, pressure mapping, electromyography, force plates, strain gauges, or related instrumentation.
- Human biomechanics or injury-biomechanics research experience.
- Digital Human Modeling experience.
- Department of War research experience.
Education/Credentials: - Bachelor's degree in a math, physics, engineering, or related STEM discipline
- Nice to have - Master's degree in a relevant discipline
- US Citizenship is required for consideration, as this job requires a US government security clearance.
- Acceptable - Secret level clearance
Physical Demands: - Must be able to remain in a stationary position and work on a computer for prolonged periods
- Ability to travel up to 30%.
