  • Design, execute, and report on early-stage research (contextual inquiry) through user validation research (summative) on physical and/or digital products
  • Work with systems, quality, and regulatory to translate research results into actionable design recommendations and HF documentation (e.g. User Needs, task analyses, uFMEAs, use specifications, and HFU/UE reports)
  • Ensure that FDA & global usability regulatory standards such as IEC 62366-1: 2015, ANSI/AAMI HE75, and EU MDR) are being met and that project teams are working within these standards and guidelines
  • Interact with a wide range of user groups (from patients to surgeons) in a variety of use environments
  • Assist the team in preparing Human Factors Engineering proposals and budgets
  • Partner with strategists and designers to frame early innovation challenges, translating user, market, and technology insights into clear opportunity areas and design criteria
  • Lead or contribute to activities such as experience mapping, opportunity framing, and co-creation workshops that shape product and portfolio direction
  • Bridge early-stage strategy and downstream Human Factors practice, ensuring continuity from vision through design execution and usability validation

Requirements:

  • An advanced degree in human factors, HCI, biomedical engineering, industrial engineering, cognitive psychology, or related discipline
  • At least 10 years of hands-on, professional applied human factors engineering experience in product design
  • Experience with FDA and IEC medical device development HF standards
  • Ability to travel up to 30% either on your own or as part of a team and feel confident leading research and design teams wherever you're operating
  • A minimum of 1 day per week in the Philadelphia studio with more often required due to studies or projects

Nice to have:

  • A strategic thinker with experience collaborating across design and engineering, in a consulting environment
  • Someone with a true passion for human-centered product design
  • A service-oriented leader who supports and elevates the people around them
  • A team member who listens well and values input from diverse stakeholders
  • A professional committed to high standards of quality and craftsmanship
  • A self-motivated individual who can work independently with minimal oversight
  • An established thought leader in the Human Factors community
