Product Improvement Engineer | AR5

Experience: 2+ Years

An advanced system like the AR5 is only as effective as the ease with which it can be operated. We are looking for a Product & Continuous Improvement Engineer with a focus on usability and user experience (UX) applied to hardware and control stations.

• Experience: 2+ years in Product Engineering, Design Engineering, Process Engineering and Continuous Improvement or equivalent.

• Focus on Usability: Experience in projects where human-machine interaction was the center of the solution.

• Generalist Profile: Someone who can speak with the mechanics team, the software team, and the end users, serving as a "translator" of needs.

• Experience with UAV control stations, heavy machinery, or complex industrial equipment;

• Knowledge of Human Factors (HF) and industrial ergonomics standards;

• Experience in production environments where agility and rapid iteration are valued;

• Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks or similar) and management tools;

• Language: Fluent English.

• We offer an excellent working environment and an opportunity to make a difference;

• Salary compatible with the level of proven experience;

• Daily transport from Leiria, Lisbon, Alcobaça, and Rio Maior;

Your goal will be to analyze how our operators interact with the technology and implement continuous improvements that increase efficiency and drastically minimize the possibility of human error in critical missions.

• Implement Kaizen processes and continuous improvement in the AR5 lifecycle, ensuring that each hardware iteration reduces the operator's cognitive load.

• User-Centric Improvement: Identify friction points in the physical use of the product and the Ground Control Stations (GCS).

• Interaction Design: Optimize the layout of controls, joysticks, screens, and physical interfaces to ensure ergonomics and response speed.

• Error Reduction: Apply Error-Proofing (Poka-Yoke) methodologies in hardware design to prevent operational failures.

• Continuous Improvement: Collect field feedback and translate it into iterative product updates, ensuring that the AR5 evolves with user needs.
