What is HMI design?

HMI design, or Human-Machine Interface design, refers to the process of creating user interfaces for machines and systems that allow humans to interact with technology efficiently and safely. Good HMI design focuses on usability, accessibility, and clarity to ensure operators can easily monitor, control, and manage complex systems, such as industrial equipment, vehicles, or consumer devices. This includes designing graphical layouts, button placements, feedback mechanisms, and workflows that minimize human error and maximize productivity.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an HMI Designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) Designer, you need a strong background in user interface (UI) design principles, usability, and a degree in interaction design, computer science, or a related field. Proficiency with design tools like Adobe XD, Sketch, Figma, and familiarity with prototyping software and relevant industry standards (such as ISO 9241) are commonly required. Excellent communication, problem-solving skills, and the ability to empathize with end-users help HMI Designers create intuitive and effective interfaces. These skills are vital to ensure the interfaces are safe, user-friendly, and enhance productivity in complex environments.

What are some common challenges faced by HMI Designers when collaborating with multidisciplinary teams?

HMI Designers often work closely with engineers, product managers, and end-users, which can present challenges in balancing technical feasibility, user needs, and project constraints. Clear communication is essential, as designers must translate complex technical requirements into intuitive interfaces while ensuring alignment with project goals. Navigating differing priorities and integrating feedback from various stakeholders can require strong negotiation and problem-solving skills. Successful HMI Designers proactively facilitate collaboration and maintain a user-centered focus throughout the design process.

Job description

About Revel
At Revel, we are revolutionizing the way the world's most critical hardware is controlled-across aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing sectors. Our next-generation software stack combines an intuitive command/control interface, a specialized programming language tailored for hardware control, and a high-performance runtime environment. We empower engineers to build, test, and deploy critical systems rapidly, reliably, and safely.
 
Role Overview
Revel's product is used in control rooms, test facilities, and operational environments where the way information is presented directly affects safety and performance. As a Design Systems Engineer, you will own the research, standards, and design foundations that ensure our interfaces communicate clearly, accessibly, and unambiguously-even under stress, fatigue, and degraded conditions.
 
This role sits at the intersection of human factors engineering and design systems. You'll research and synthesize HMI standards and accessibility guidelines (ISA-101, NUREG-0700, WCAG, NASA-STD-3001, and others), then translate that research into the concrete design system-color palettes, semantic indicators, typography, iconography, layout patterns-that our product is built from. You'll define how Revel conveys meaning visually and ensure our interfaces hold up under the real-world conditions our customers operate in.
 
In the near term, that means auditing our existing interfaces against human factors best practices, standing up the foundational design system, and establishing the guidelines that new components and screens will be built from.
 
This is a high-leverage IC role. The system you build will shape every screen our customers use to control hardware that matters.
Responsibilities
  • Research and synthesize HMI design standards, human factors guidelines, and accessibility requirements relevant to Revel's target industries (aerospace, energy, nuclear, manufacturing).
  • Define and document Revel's design system: color usage philosophy, semantic indicator patterns, typography, iconography, spatial layout, and interaction conventions.
  • Establish guidelines for how the product conveys state, alarms, warnings, faults, and nominal conditions.
  • Audit existing product interfaces against human factors best practices and accessibility standards, and drive remediation of gaps.
  • Design and specify component-level behavior: how individual UI elements communicate meaning across visual channels (color, shape, iconography, text, motion, position).
  • Develop guidelines for configurable elements (e.g., customer color conventions) that preserve safety semantics while accommodating industry-specific norms.
  • Collaborate with product designers and frontend engineers to implement the design system and ensure fidelity from specification to shipped product.
Qualifications
  • 4+ years of experience in human factors engineering, HMI design, design systems, or a related discipline.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate standards and research into actionable design specifications and component libraries.
  • Familiarity with one or more HMI or accessibility standards such as ISA-101, NUREG-0700, WCAG 2.1, MIL-STD-1472, or NASA-STD-3001.
  • Strong understanding of color perception, color vision deficiency, and multi-channel information encoding in interface design.
  • Experience building or significantly contributing to a design system (tokens, components, patterns, documentation).
  • Proficiency with design tools (e.g., Figma) and the ability to specify components precisely enough for engineering implementation.
  • Excellent written communication-you'll be writing guidelines, specifications, and rationale documents that the team builds from.
  • Comfort working across disciplines: you'll partner with product designers, frontend engineers, and domain experts daily.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Background in aerospace, defense, nuclear, energy, or process control industries.
  • Familiarity with high-performance HMI principles (Hollifield, ASM Consortium guidelines).Experience with control room or operational environment design.
  • Familiarity with frontend technologies (HTML/CSS/JS, React) or experience working within design-to-code workflows.
  • Experience conducting or applying findings from usability studies in safety-critical contexts.
  • Graduate degree in human factors, cognitive engineering, systems engineering, or a related field.
ITAR Requirements
  • To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here.  
Why Revel
  • Join a world-class team of engineers with decades of critical software applications experience.
  • Work on groundbreaking technology that directly impacts critical infrastructure and high-stakes industries with strong early traction.
  • Competitive salary, substantial equity, and significant personal growth opportunities.
  • Collaborative, ambitious, and technically challenging environment.
Join us to redefine what's possible in software for hardware.
