• Develop and maintain Oklo’s Human Factors Engineering (HFE) program, execution plans, and compliance strategies.
• Ensure human factors principles are systematically incorporated into engineering design to support safe, intuitive, and efficient human-system interaction.
• Plan and execute HFE verification and validation activities, staffing studies, and human-system interface usability assessments.
• Organize and coordinate efforts across engineering disciplines and external stakeholders to support cohesive system design and HFE implementation.

This role ensures human-system integration outcomes that support operational safety, reliability, and usability in advanced fission power plants, contributing to the delivery of clean, reliable, and affordable energy at scale.

• 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).
