4 weeks ago


United Kingdom Different Technologies Pty Ltd. Full time

Forseven, a revolutionary company looking to transform the EV industry through cutting-edge technology and innovative engineering practices, is seeking an HMI Research Lead to join our highly skilled and dynamic Engineering team.

The Opportunity....

The Human Factors team at Forseven are responsible for conducting benchmarking research, developing design guidelines, setting requirements and robustly testing and validating technology all towards a best-in-class user experience. Our objective is that our in-vehicle HMI is easy, safe and pleasurable to use and we apply a rigorous research approach to deliver on this ambition.

The HMI Research Lead will be responsible for developing robust research protocols to evaluate existing HMI solutions with a focus on cognitive Human Factors principles. This research will allow us to set targets on which our own technology can be assessed. Their work will also report into evidence-based guideline and requirement generation that is led by the human factors lead. As we develop prototype technology and bring new research facilities on-board (e.g., driving simulator / VR tools) the research lead will work across adapt/develop research protocols to evaluate and refine the HMI solution in the 'virtual world' working closely with digital design teams. Finally, when prototype vehicles / mule vehicles are available, research will continue to the physical world to validate our HMI solutions.

There is a strong need for continuity throughout this research pipeline and the ideal candidate will be an expert in deploying validated and reliable research protocols to ensure reliability throughout the product development process.

What you'll do....

  • Develop robust research protocols to quantify user experience with HMI
  • Conduct user trials in competitor vehicles to assess the performance of in-vehicle HMI with a focus on cognitive human factors
  • Provide the data to support the creation of key system usability targets based on primary research and competitor benchmarking
  • Develop new and innovative research protocols to maximise research capability across different stages of technology protyping
  • Collaborate with Ergonomics and UX research activities such as BUCK testing, on-road, and simulator-based user testing.
  • Conduct driving simulator based research to validate new driver-focused technologies
  • Identify and explore areas for HMI innovation considering human factors and maintain a critical awareness of market trends and changing user needs.
  • Work with build engineers to define requirements for prototyping of HMI features in preparation for user testing
  • Compile reports and communicate research output to key stakeholders to support user-focused development the in-vehicle HMI

Who you are....

  • Degree required in a subject akin to Human Factors, Psychology, or Human Sciences. PhD prefered, or significant evidence of high-quality research capability.
  • Strong hands-on research capability with the ability to define research questions, develop and execute a research protocol
  • Thorough understanding in statistical methods and the ability to use relevant software (e.g., IMB's SPSS)
  • Strong understanding and evidence of use of relevant validated research methods and tools (e.g., SUS, TLX, DALI, UEQ)
  • Strong understanding and evidence of use of eye-tracking methodologies in HMI research and the ability to process and interperate glance behaviours
  • Experience or willingness to learn about other psychophysiological measures would be adventagous
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to communicate research outputs to inform on requirement and guideline generation
