As a trusted partner to the Federal Aviation Administration, Peraton helps deliver the systems and services that keep our nation’s skies safe and connected.

    We’re looking for innovative professionals who thrive in mission-critical environments and are passionate about shaping the future of air traffic management. This is your chance to make an impact on one of the world’s most vital transportation infrastructures, working alongside leaders in aviation, engineering, data science, and systems integration.

    At Peraton, you won’t just support the mission — you’ll define it.

    The Human Factors Engineer – UX / UI Engineer provides leadership in the design, evaluation, and validation of user-centered interfaces and human-system integration for FAA applications and systems. This role ensures that application interfaces and systems are operationally sound, human-centered, and aligned with FAA safety, performance, and usability standards. The position requires expertise in human cognition, experimental design, user experience design, and ergonomics to optimize human performance and reduce risks in mission-critical environments.

    Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and evaluation of user interfaces (UI / UX) to ensure applications are intuitive, accessible, and operationally effective.
  • Conduct studies in human–machine interaction, human performance assessment, and equipment / facilities / environmental design.
  • Develop and execute human factors experiments, usability testing, and behavioral data collection, ensuring robust analysis and actionable recommendations.
  • Oversee data analysis and statistical modeling of human performance, reaction time, workload, and attention allocation.
  • Lead the preparation of project deliverables, technical reports, and documentation supporting system validation and FAA requirements.
  • Participate in project planning, management, and stakeholder engagement to align human factors activities with organizational goals.
  • Provide expert input into system design, integration, and lifecycle management, including defining human factors requirements and generating qualification evidence.
  • Support rapid prototyping, concept development, user testing, and iterative design improvements.
  • Contribute to organizational performance initiatives, including human workload analysis, situational awareness, human reliability assessments, and cultural interventions.
  • Serve as a subject-matter expert in human cognition, ergonomics, usability, and human-system integration, supporting FAA mission-critical systems.
