 Ensuring commercial off-the-shelf systems (COTS) are ergonomically suitable for naval use.
 Identifying critical points in human-machine interaction and optimizing interface design accordingly.
 Partnering with other disciplines to implement and maintain ergonomic quality throughout project phases.

 Excellent problem-solving skills, along with the ability to communicate and collaborate across departments.
 Familiarity with German HFE standards and regulatory compliance processes is a plus.
 Experience using tools such as MS Office, SAP, IBM DOORS, and 3D design platforms like 3DX.
 Prior experience in shipbuilding or maritime industries is preferred.
 Strong verbal and written communication skills in both German and English.
 A readiness to travel internationally as needed.
 Mandatory: a permanent EU passport and citizenship due to the secure nature of the programs involved.
