Postdoctoral Human Computer Interaction Jobs in Newark, DE

Position Summary
10x National Security is seeking Human-Centered Integration and Digital Engineering Training Specialists to help Army acquisition personnel understand, adopt, and effectively use digital-engineering methods, tools, models, and data. The specialists will work directly with program managers, engineers, logisticians, testers, cybersecurity personnel, data managers, and senior leaders to translate complex digital-engineering practices into usable workflows and role-based training. This position combines human-centered design, Human Systems Integration, instructional systems design, organizational adoption, and hands-on technical training. The successful candidate will not simply deliver standard courseware. The specialist will study how Army personnel perform their work, identify barriers to adoption, develop practical learning experiences, and measure whether users can perform required digital-engineering tasks after training. Primary Responsibilities
Conduct stakeholder interviews, workflow observations, job and task analyses, user research, and training-needs assessments across Army acquisition organizations.
Identify the digital-engineering knowledge and skills required by different user groups, including program managers, systems engineers, logisticians, testers, contracting personnel, cybersecurity professionals, and senior decision-makers.
Develop role-based training covering subjects such as digital-engineering principles, model-based systems engineering, SysML, model reviews, authoritative sources of truth, digital threads, configuration management, CAD and PLM data, model governance, data rights, and digital collaboration.
Produce instructor-led courses, hands-on laboratories, workshops, learner guides, instructor guides, job aids, demonstrations, microlearning products, and train-the-trainer materials.
Deliver technical instruction and facilitated workshops to audiences with different levels of technical maturity, from introductory executive sessions to practitioner-level exercises.
Apply human-centered design and human-factors principles to evaluate digital-engineering tools, interfaces, workflows, and information displays for usability, cognitive workload, accessibility, and mission relevance.
Support development of Human Systems Integration plans, training strategies, adoption roadmaps, standard operating procedures, governance materials, and organizational change activities.
Establish measurable training and adoption metrics, including completion, proficiency, time to perform critical tasks, error rates, model-review effectiveness, user confidence, and sustained use of digital-engineering capabilities.
Gather user feedback and performance data, identify recurring barriers, and continuously improve courseware, workflows, and supporting tools.
Maintain training content under configuration control so that instruction remains aligned with current tools, models, policies, standards, and Army processes.
Coordinate with the modeling, simulation, cybersecurity, data, and systems-engineering teams to ensure training reflects the actual digital-engineering environment.
Prepare briefings, status reports, training schedules, after-action reports, and recommendations for Government leadership.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in instructional systems design, human factors, human-computer interaction, education, systems engineering, industrial and organizational psychology, engineering, or a related discipline. An equivalent combination of relevant education, military training, and experience may be considered.
At least five years of experience developing and delivering technical or professional training.
Demonstrated experience conducting training-needs analysis, task analysis, curriculum development, classroom or workshop facilitation, and learning evaluation.
Experience translating complex engineering, acquisition, software, data, or technical concepts into material that non-specialists can understand and apply.
Familiarity with digital engineering, systems engineering, MBSE, CAD, PLM, software development, data management, or another complex technical environment.
Strong written communication, facilitation, presentation, and stakeholder-engagement skills.
Ability to work independently on-site while collaborating with Government personnel and multidisciplinary contractor teams.
U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain the required clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
Previous experience supporting an Army program office, ASA(ALT), a PEO or PM organization, DEVCOM, or another DoD acquisition organization.
Working knowledge of DoDI 5000.95, DoDI 5000.97, MIL-STD-1472, the Adaptive Acquisition Framework, or Army acquisition processes.
Experience with one or more digital-engineering environments or tools, such as Cameo Systems Modeler/MagicDraw, Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE, Jira, Confluence, or engineering-model repositories.
Experience with instructional-authoring or learning platforms such as Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate, Moodle, or another SCORM/xAPI-capable system.
Certification or formal training in instructional design, human factors, systems engineering, MBSE, organizational change, or adult learning.
Experience developing and delivering content in controlled, CUI, or classified environments.
Measures of Success Within the initial 90 days, the specialist should establish a stakeholder and audience map, document priority workflows and competency gaps, produce an initial role-based curriculum, deliver at least one hands-on pilot, and create an evaluation method that measures whether personnel can use digital-engineering artifacts rather than merely recall terminology. Lead-level adjustment: The Lead should have at least eight years of relevant experience and assume responsibility for curriculum architecture, instructional quality, integrated scheduling, training metrics, Government coordination, and consistency across the three-person team.
