• **Design & Analysis Activities**
• Support the development and review of flight deck Human–Machine Interface (HMI) concepts.
• Assist with basic HF analyses (e.g., task analysis, workflow reviews, simple usability reviews).
• Participate in HMI prototyping activities, simulation sessions, or concept evaluations.
• Help prepare HF materials such as sketches, interaction diagrams, or early design guidelines.
• Observe how HF findings are translated into design requirements for flight deck systems.
• **Evaluation & Test Activities**
• Support HF engineers in preparing for usability evaluations or pilot sessions.
• Assist in collecting and organizing data—e.g., notes, observation grids, feedback logs.
• Help set up mockups, benches, or simulator environments for HF evaluations.
• Participate in scenario‑based evaluations by helping run scripts or capturing user behavior.
• **Qualification & Certification Exposure (as applicable to intern role)**
• Gain introductory understanding of HF aspects of aviation certification (EASA/FAA).
• Assist in compiling basic certification-related HF artifacts under supervision.
• Observe how HF requirements translate into compliance demonstrations.
