Responsibilities
- Develop the human factors engineering (HFE) strategy, implementation plans, technical bases, and safety basis documentation, including HFE inputs to the integrated safety analysis (ISA), items relied on for safety (IROFS), management measures, and safety program commitments.
- Evaluate the implementation of human factors engineering best practices in the development of safety-significant personnel activities including actions credited in safety analyses, abnormal event response, maintenance, inspections, surveillance, material handling, and recovery activities.
- Lead operating experience reviews, functional
- Define Human System Interface (HIS)
- Plan and execute HFE verification and validation activities, including HSI task support verification, HFE design verification, integrated system validation, mockups, simulator exercises, walkdowns, tabletop exercises, human-in-the-loop evaluations, performance measures, and human engineering discrepancy resolution.
- Prepare license application content, safety evaluation materials, readiness reviews, audit packages, requests for additional information, and inspection support materials.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in human factors engineering, engineering psychology, cognitive systems engineering, systems engineering, nuclear engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field. 5+ years of
- experience applying human factors engineering to nuclear reactor or fuel cycle technology •
- Experience conducting or supporting HFE analyses such as operating
- Familiarity with NRC or DOE expectations for human factors, safety analysis, licensing documentation, management measures, credited human actions, or safety-significant administrative controls Direct
- experience with NUREG-0711, NUREG-0700, NUREG-0800 Chapter 18, and NUREG-1520.
- Advanced degree or professional certification in human factors, ergonomics, cognitive systems engineering, systems safety, nuclear engineering, or a related field. •
- Experience with fuel cycle facilities, used nuclear fuel handling, reprocessing or recycling, hot cells, gloveboxes, remote handling, radiological work controls, and nuclear criticality safety. •
- Experience developing HFE program plans, HSI style guides, human action feasibility or reliability analyses, integrated validation plans, or responses to regulatory questions. •
- Experience with digital I&C, automation, alarm management, control room design, local control station design, simulator development, mockup testing, usability testing, or human reliability analysis.
- You bring an enthusiasm to the team, and imbue a sense of passion that goes beyond clocking in and clocking out.
- For the first two weeks of onboarding, employees are required to be in person at headquarters in Santa Clara, CA.

Additional details
- Oklo is seeking a Human Factors Engineer to develop the human factors safety basis for a first-of-a-kind used nuclear fuel (UNF) recycling facility.
- This individual will own the application of Human Factors Engineering to safety-significant personnel activities.
- This individual will heavily impact the development of personnel activities, evaluation of personnel activities, design of human-system interfaces, and development of procedures.
- This individual will foster safety through facilitating correct, and inhibiting wrong, decisions by personnel and by ensuring there exist adequate means for detecting, correcting, and compensating for human error.
- Tailor NRC HFE guidance and fuel-cycle-facility review expectations into a practical, graded HFE program appropriate for a first-of-a-kind used nuclear fuel recycling facility.
- requirements analyses, function allocation, task analyses, staffing and
- qualifications analyses, and human action evaluations across startup, normal operations, shutdown, maintenance, abnormal operations, emergency response, and degraded equipment or interface conditions.
- Translate task analysis and safety analysis results into
- requirements for alarms, indications, controls, procedures, training objectives, staffing, qualifications, work environment, PPE, dose and contamination controls, and human error prevention, detection, and recovery features.
- requirements for control rooms, local control stations, remote handling stations, glovebox or hot-cell interfaces, material handling interfaces, alarm systems, displays, controls, automation, communications, and computer-based or paper-based procedure systems.
