Human Machine Interface Designer information

What is the difference between Human Machine Interface Designer vs User Interface Designer?

AspectHuman Machine Interface DesignerUser Interface Designer
Required SkillsUI/UX design, prototyping, understanding of industrial systemsVisual design, user experience, interaction design
Work EnvironmentIndustrial, manufacturing, automation settingsSoftware applications, websites, mobile apps
Industry UsageManufacturing, automation, transportationTech, media, e-commerce

While both roles focus on designing interfaces, Human Machine Interface Designers specialize in creating interfaces for industrial and automation systems, emphasizing functionality and safety. User Interface Designers typically work on digital products like apps and websites, focusing on aesthetics and user experience. The roles overlap in design principles but differ in environment and application.

How to become a human machine interface designer?

To become a human machine interface designer, individuals typically need a bachelor's degree in fields such as industrial design, human-computer interaction, or engineering. Gaining skills in user-centered design, prototyping tools, and programming languages like HTML, CSS, or JavaScript is important, along with experience in designing intuitive interfaces and understanding user behavior. Building a portfolio and staying updated with industry trends can also enhance job prospects.

What does a human machine interface designer do?

A human machine interface (HMI) designer creates user interfaces that allow operators to interact effectively with machines and systems. They focus on designing intuitive layouts, controls, and visualizations, often using design software and understanding user experience principles to improve safety and efficiency in industrial or technological environments.

Job Description:

We're looking for a Human Machine Interface (HMI) Designer to join our team developing next-generation Ground Control Station (GCS) applications for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). This role is ideal for engineers with a strong foundation in real-time, performance-sensitive software who also bring experience with modern web technologies. 

You'll work on mission-critical software designs that bridges responsive user interfaces with robust backend systems, enabling human operators to plan, command, and monitor autonomous assets with precision and reliability. 

What you'll do:
  • Engage in end-to-end design of HMI systems for UAV ground control station displays
  • Translate complex system requirements into clear, intuitive, and safety-critical user interfaces
  • Develop wireframes, user flows, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes using Figma
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with systems engineers, pilots/operators, software developers, and human factors experts
  • Apply human factors engineering principles to optimize usability, workload, and situational awareness
  • Design for real-time data visualization, including telemetry, navigation, sensor fusion, and mission planning tools
  • Conduct usability testing, simulations, and iterative design validation
  • Contribute to and maintain a design system and component library within Figma for consistency and scalability
  • Work with other designers to help establish best practices in HMI/UX design
  • Ability to obtain a S//SAR level security clearance desired.
Required qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 5+ years of professional experience designing HMI/UX for aerospace, defense, or other commercial applications.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Figma (component systems, prototyping, design systems)
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Human factors
    • Cognitive workload and situational awareness
    • Real-time system interfaces and data visualization
  • Experience working with cross-disciplinary engineering teams
  • Ability to handle complex, ambiguous problem spaces and translate them into usable designs
Preferred qualifications:
  • Demonstrated experience designing interfaces for:
    • Aircraft cockpits (manned) and/or Unmanned systems / Ground Control Stations (GCS).
  • Experience designing for multi-screen, touch, and hardware-integrated interfaces
  • Knowledge of simulation environments or operator-in-the-loop testing
  • Background in designing for degraded environments or high-stress operational contexts
  • Familiarity with additional tools (e.g., Adobe CC, Principle, Framer), but Figma expertise is strongly prioritized
$129,000 - $194,000 a year
