Human Factors Engineer

Bachelor’s degree in human factors engineering, cognitive systems engineering, industrial engineering, or a related field. Experience performing HFE program management, analysis, design, verification and validation, and implementation. Hands-on operations experience—nuclear or non-nuclear—is strongly preferred. Familiarity with HFE regulatory requirements (e.g., NUREG-0711, NUREG-0700). Experienced in human factors engineering, with a strong understanding of how people interact with systems in complex, safety-critical environments.

Develop and maintain Oklo’s HFE program, execution plans, and compliance strategies. Provide technical recommendations for engineering design teams on human factors. Ensure human factors principles are incorporated into the engineering design process. Contribute to internal and external design reviews, presenting HFE assessments. Analyze and recommend improvements for plant layouts, user interfaces, procedures, and other human-system interfaces. Support the development of specifications that reflect human capabilities and limitations. Identify and document operator and technician needs, functional tasks, and system use requirements. Plan and execute HFE verification and validation activities, staffing studies, and usability assessments. Organize and coordinate efforts across engineering disciplines and external stakeholders.
