Our valued private sector client requires a Sr. Cognitive Engineering Specialist to conduct research in areas such as cognitive modeling, training and decision-aiding for complex systems, human behavior simulation, intelligent-agent technologies, and eye-voice interfaces.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, administer, and analyse questionnaires and interviewing personnel (including high level decision makers).
• Conduct on-site studies using configurable laboratory or military test-beds or in a field environment under operational conditions. Compiling, analysing and interpreting the results of these studies including any limitations of the results.
• Apply Human Factors related standards and handbooks, e.g., MIL-STD-1472F, MIL-HBK-759C, MIL-HBK-46855.
• Gather and organize artefacts.
• Apply concept of System-of-Systems (SoS), human systems integration (HSI) and experience in applying HSI principles.
• Conduct risk assessment and perform risk modelling. 6 Roth, E. M., Patterson, E. S., and Mumaw, R. J. Cognitive Engineering: Issues in User-Centered System Design. In J.J. Marciniak, Ed. Encylopedia of Software Engineering (2nd Edition). NY: John Wiley and Sons, 2002. Describes the use of CTA, CWA, ACWA, and computational cognitive modeling in the design of user-centered systems.

Must Have Skills:

• 10+ years of experience in Cognitive Engineering , or 5+ years of experience with a relevant Ph.D.
• Conducting research and development in artificial intelligence and apply the results in areas such as cognitive modeling, training and decision-aiding for complex systems, human behavior simulation, intelligent-agent technologies, and eye-voice interfaces.
• Conducting Social Network Analysis.
• Developing intelligent training technologies, advanced human-computer interaction technologies, and human behavioural models.
• Conducting cognitive task analysis and develop executable human behavioural models.
• Managing and provide technical leadership for cognitive engineering projects.
• Designing, conducting, and analyzing a broad range of defence and security experiments, including specific psychological, and/or social-psychological and/or organizational issues in individual and team performance.
• Identify and decompose high level MOEs and MOPs and propose means of obtaining data for MOE and MOP measurement.
• Design and develop models in support of experiment design including competence working with software development tools.
