ATOMIC
Collect data through direct observation of work activities or witnessing the conduct of tests.
ATOMIC
Conduct interviews or surveys of users or customers to collect information on topics, such as requirements, needs, fatigue, ergonomics, or interfaces.
ATOMIC
Advocate for end users in collaboration with other professionals, including engineers, designers, managers, or customers.
ATOMIC
Inspect work sites to identify physical hazards.
ATOMIC
Prepare reports or presentations summarizing results or conclusions of human factors engineering or ergonomics activities, such as testing, investigation, or validation.
ATOMIC
Recommend workplace changes to improve health and safety, using knowledge of potentially harmful factors, such as heavy loads or repetitive motions.
ATOMIC
Perform functional, task, or anthropometric analysis, using tools, such as checklists, surveys, videotaping, or force measurement.
ATOMIC
Provide technical support to clients through activities, such as rearranging workplace fixtures to reduce physical hazards or discomfort or modifying task sequences to reduce cycle time.
ATOMIC
Assess the user-interface or usability characteristics of products.
ATOMIC
Establish system operating or training requirements to ensure optimized human-machine interfaces.
ATOMIC
Integrate human factors requirements into operational hardware.
ATOMIC
Review health, safety, accident, or worker compensation records to evaluate safety program effectiveness or to identify jobs with high incidence of injury.
ATOMIC
Design or evaluate human work systems, using human factors engineering and ergonomic principles to optimize usability, cost, quality, safety, or performance.
ATOMIC
Write, review, or comment on documents, such as proposals, test plans, or procedures.
ATOMIC
Train users in task techniques or ergonomic principles.
ATOMIC
Conduct research to evaluate potential solutions related to changes in equipment design, procedures, manpower, personnel, or training.
ATOMIC
Provide human factors technical expertise on topics, such as advanced user-interface technology development or the role of human users in automated or autonomous sub-systems in advanced vehicle systems.
ATOMIC
Develop or implement human performance research, investigation, or analysis protocols.
ATOMIC
Develop or implement research methodologies or statistical analysis plans to test and evaluate developmental prototypes used in new products or processes, such as cockpit designs, user workstations, or computerized human models.
ATOMIC
Estimate time or resource requirements for ergonomic or human factors research or development projects.
ATOMIC
Design cognitive aids, such as procedural storyboards or decision support systems.
ATOMIC
Analyze complex systems to determine potential for further development, production, interoperability, compatibility, or usefulness in a particular area, such as aviation.
ATOMIC
Investigate theoretical or conceptual issues, such as the human design considerations of lunar landers or habitats.
ATOMIC
Operate testing equipment, such as heat stress meters, octave band analyzers, motion analysis equipment, inclinometers, light meters, thermoanemometers, sling psychrometers, or colorimetric detection tubes.
ATOMIC
Perform statistical analyses, such as social network pattern analysis, network modeling, discrete event simulation, agent-based modeling, statistical natural language processing, computational sociology, mathematical optimization, or systems dynamics.
