Human Factors Engineer
Penns Park, PA (Philadelphia area)
BACKGROUND
ARCCA’s Human Factors Engineers work with a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and scientists for the purpose of reconstructing injury producing incidents and other events to evaluate and determine mechanisms of injury. We are seeking two qualified Human Factors engineers (Ph.D. level ) to apply the principles of human factors and biomechanics to the anatomy and physiology of the human body to explore the cause, nature, and severity of injuries. The qualified candidates will have experience in evaluating slip, trip, and fall mishaps, including slip resistance testing on walkway surfaces, analyzing ingress and egress issues, and performing analyses of building codes associated with personal injuries and premises liability.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
ARCCA is a Biomechanical, Forensic Engineering and Litigation Consulting firm specializing in the analysis and communication of complex issues.
