Specific experience or equivalent training in user-centered human-computer interface (HCI) design processes is required. A graduate degree in human factors engineering or a related field (e.g., industrial engineering or experimental psychology) and/or at least ten years of professional experience is required. Highly qualified entry-level/recent graduate candidates will be considered. Candidates should have strong communication skills, be capable of taking the initiative in identifying and solving problems, and be able to work effectively in multi-disciplinary teams. Experience in the following specific areas is highly desired, along with familiarity with Agile software development processes:

• Identification and documentation of user needs through user interviews and other feedback mechanisms;
• Contribution of user interface design input for software development;
• Application of standards and style guides to user interface design;
• Development of preliminary user interface prototypes and review of user interface designs.

Travel: Periodic visits to operational sites to conduct user observations and interviews will be required, which is expected to require a travel rate between 10% and 20%.

Applicants must be US citizens.  A current DoD security clearance is strongly desired. Applicants will be subjected to a security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for a Top Secret security clearance.
