About the role

  • Revel's product is used in control rooms, test facilities, and operational environments where the way information is presented directly affects safety and performance.
  • You'll define how Revel conveys meaning visually and ensure our interfaces hold up under the real-world conditions our customers operate in.

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.
  • 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.
  • you'll partner with product designers, frontend engineers, and domain experts daily.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in human factors engineering, HMI design, design systems, or a related discipline.
  • 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.
  • Proficiency with design tools (e.g., Figma) and the ability to specify components precisely enough for engineering implementation.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate standards and research into actionable design specifications and component libraries.
  • 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).
  • 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.

Nice to have

  • Background in aerospace, defense, nuclear, energy, or process control industries.
  • Familiarity with high-performance HMI principles (Hollifield, ASM Consortium guidelines) and experience with control room or operational environment design.
  • 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

  • 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.
