Cognitive Engineering Specialist

SKADRA is recruiting a cognitive engineering specialist to support the Canadian defence. Cognitive e ngineering is an interdisciplinary field focused on designing computerized systems to enhance human performance, drawing from human factors, human-computer interaction (HCI) , cognitive psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence (AI) , and other related disciplines. Key responsibilities: Develop, administer and analyse questionnaires, interviews and defence and security experiments. Conduct studies in controlled environments or in the field under operational conditions, compile and analyse the results, and identify their limitations. Apply standards related to human factors (e.g., MIL-STD-1472F, MIL-HBK-759C, MIL-HB-46855). Apply the principles of human system integration (HSI) using the concepts of System-of-Systems (SoS), HSI and experience. Research and apply AI in areas like cognitive modelling, training and decision support for complex systems, human behaviour simulation, and eye-voice interfaces. Perform risk assessment and modelling and conduct cognitive task analysis and social network analysis. Develop intelligent training systems, advanced HCI technologies, and human behavioural models. Identify and measure effectiveness and performance metrics (MOEs and MOPs). Manage and provide leadership in cognitive engineering projects. Who we are Since 1999, SKADRA (previously LTI) develops impact solutions for the defence, manufacturing, biomedicine, wood transformation, and food transformation industries. Our teams develop custom applications with a strong scientific focus and are made up of high-caliber enthusiasts of innovative technologies. As pioneers of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in expert system solutions, we are leveraging the latest breakthroughs in machine learning. What you need: Doctorate degree (Ph.D.) related to the field (information science, computer science, mathematics, statistics, machine learning, data/information fusion, etc.) with 5 years of relevant experience OR 10 years of relevant experience . Ability to work in a team, be independent, take initiative and enjoy learning .
