Human Machine Interaction Engineer
You will make sure that the exoskeleton is like an extension of the pilot’s body by implementing a robust and user-friendly control system for the pilot.
As a Human-Machine Interaction Engineer, it is your task to bridge the gap between the human and the machine. You will make sure that the control of the exoskeleton is as natural as possible for the pilot so that the exoskeleton feels like an extension of the body. You design the way in which the pilot interacts with the exoskeleton, which has a variety of possible solutions. You can work on improving the input device, or you can continue working on our current EEG implementation to allow the pilot to give commands with just their thoughts. This role offers the freedom to explore your own ideas and projects based on your interests, but it also requires strong planning skills and the ability to set and manage your own deadlines.
What you will do as Human Machine Interaction Engineer
Ensuring that the exoskeleton's control feels as natural as possible is a key part of your role as a Human-Machine Interaction Engineer. By analyzing and testing, but also by conversing with other teammates and of course with the pilot, you will be able to come to new applications. To do this, you shall have to program and use other methods to research what works well for the pilot to use, because for a lot of problems, there are no standard solutions yet: seems there's plenty to innovate!
