Summer Intern Submarines Human Factors Engineer

Join our Submarines Team to be a part of designing, building, testing, and commissioning the largest and most advanced submarines ever operated by the Royal Navy. Work alongside our Astute Class and Dreadnought Class Submarines to provide a powerful and secure deterrent for the United Kingdom 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You could be the difference. Why BAE Systems?

This is a place where you’ll be able to make a real difference. You’ll be part of an inclusive culture that values diversity, rewards integrity and merit, and where you’ll be empowered to fulfil your potential. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and particularly from sections of the community who are currently underrepresented within our industry, including women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ individuals. What you will be doing

Do you want to help our business design, build and maintain submarines and the facilities used to build them to enable submariners to live and work under the ocean for several months at a time? Are you interested in the interplay between people, technology and design and want to make people central to the design of submarines and the facilities used to build them? Then this is the perfect role for you.

As a Human Factors Summer Intern, you will engage with experienced submariners and operators to understand the challenges they face when designing and building submarines that are optimised for use by the very people who live and work in them. You will be working with a variety of specialist teams across our submarine programmes, applying unique problem-solving skills in a pragmatic way, to overcome diverse and complex problems. You will also have the opportunity to get involved in many stages of the submarine lifecycle, from concept design through to activities with the in-service fleet, as well as supporting the design of site facilities and the equipment used to build and launch submarines. Duties and Responsibilities

  • Analysing and assessing workload and situation awareness to optimise operator performance through design.
  • Planning and conducting user trials to assess developing design and optimise user interaction.
  • Developing and analysing Human Computer Interaction (HCI).
  • Assessing Human Machine Interface (HMI).
  • Using measurements about the human body (known as anthropometry) when assessing spatial layout design, including working with 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools, immersive VR, and full-scale mock-ups.
  • Providing human reliability analysis and human factors support to safety cases. Skills

    As a minimum requirement you’ll need to be on track to obtain a 2.2 in your Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Human Factors, Ergonomics, Physiotherapy, Psychology, Design or a related STEM subject.

    To be considered for this role you must be returning to university to complete your degree. Opportunities for Growth and Development

    We encourage employees to explore projects beyond their primary responsibilities, providing them with diverse experiences. With a wide range of products and a multinational presence, there are ample opportunities for employees to engage in various projects and initiatives. Community Involvement

    In addition to professional development, BAE Systems values community engagement. Employees are encouraged to participate in community projects, STEM initiatives, and employee resource groups, offering valuable learning experiences outside of their regular roles.
