Review training simulators, procedures, manuals, and operational documentation.
Develop Human Factors Engineering compliance matrices, recommendations registers, assessment reports, and verification evidence.
Participate in technical workshops, design reviews (PDR, IDR, FDR, IOMR), safety reviews, and customer comment resolution meetings.

Candidate Requirements :

Minimum 8 years of Human Factors Engineering or ergonomics experience within safety-critical systems.
Rail transit experience, preferably involving CBTC, ATS, OCC/BOCC, train operator displays, signaling, or integrated control systems.
Experience in task analysis, workload assessment, human reliability, alarm management, situation awareness, and HMI evaluation.
Experience supporting engineering design reviews, safety reviews, and engineering deliverables.
Ability to work within requirements-management and controlled-document environments.
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
