Location: 100% On-site in Caldas da Rainha 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. Your objective will be to analyse how our operators interact with the technology and implement continuous improvements that increase efficiency and drastically minimise the possibility of human error on critical missions. What you will do (Product Focus) - Implement Kaizen and continuous improvement processes in the AR5 lifecycle, ensuring that each hardware iteration reduces the operator's cognitive load.
