Senior Human Factors Engineer I/II, Robotics
Lila Sciences, Cambridge, MA USA +1
What you will do
You will be the human-factors voice for Robotics, working on the software that runs Lila's autonomous labs. Partnering with software engineers and researchers, you'll make its most demanding surfaces — simulation, research operations, orchestration, and SCADA-style monitoring — clear, safe, and trustworthy under pressure, directly shaping how fast the factory runs and how few mistakes it makes.
What You'll Be Building
- Lead usability research: run contextual inquiry, task analysis, and usability testing to ground UI decisions in real workflows.
- Design for high-stakes displays: shape information architecture and interaction patterns for high-density orchestration and SCADA-style monitoring where situational awareness is paramount.
- Prototype and validate: build Figma prototypes and testable flows for simulation, lab, and capacity-planning UIs, then iterate from evidence.
- Design human-in-the-loop workflows: define how operators supervise, intervene in, and trust automated and AI-driven processes.
