Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.
About the Role
We are looking for a Human Systems Designer to architect how people move through, interact with, and experience complex physical and operational systems. This role sits at the intersection of design, operations, engineering, and behavioral science, and is responsible for turning friction-heavy environments into intuitive, efficient, and humane experiences.
You will design systems where throughput, safety, clarity, and experience all matter — from queuing and circulation to wayfinding, staffing models, and service rhythms. If done well, your work will feel invisible to users and indispensable to the business.
Responsibilities:
Design end-to-end human flow systems across physical environments (facilities, venues, campuses, events, transportation nodes, etc.)
Architect queuing strategies (physical and digital) that optimize both actual and perceived wait times
Identify and eliminate bottlenecks across movement, decision points, and service interactions
Translate behavioral insights into practical, buildable system designs
Partner with engineering, operations, facilities, and product teams to integrate human flow into system architecture
Use data, observation, and simulation to model capacity, throughput, and edge cases
Define principles for wayfinding, signage, pacing, and spatial cues
Stress-test systems for peak load, abnormal conditions, and failure modes
Document designs clearly so they can be executed, operated, and scaled
Continuously iterate based on real-world performance and user behavior
What Success Looks Like:
People move through complex environments with minimal confusion or friction
Systems handle peak demand gracefully without heroics or last-minute workarounds
Operations teams trust and rely on your designs
Leaders can make decisions using your models and recommendations
Users rarely notice your work — except that “it just works”
Who You Are:
You think in systems, not artifacts
You are deeply curious about how people actually behave, not how plans assume they will
You’re comfortable balancing empathy with constraints like safety, cost, and throughput
You can move between strategy and details without losing coherence
You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical partners
You’re opinionated, but evidence-driven
Qualifications:
We care more about how you think than where you come from. Relevant backgrounds include:
Human Factors Engineering
Industrial / Systems Engineering
Experience Design (physical environments)
Operations Research
Architecture or Urban Planning (with operational exposure)
Theme parks, airports, transit systems, large venues, manufacturing, or high-scale operations
Typical qualifications:
7+ years designing or operating complex human-centered systems
Experience with capacity modeling, service design, or pedestrian flow
Familiarity with simulation tools or data-driven decision-making
Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority
Bonus Points:
Experience designing systems under extreme peak loads
Familiarity with crowd modeling or queuing theory
Background in environments where safety is mission-critical
Ability to prototype or test concepts quickly in the field
A portfolio of systems you’ve designed that still work years later
Why This Role Matters:
Human systems fail quietly — until they don’t. This role ensures that growth, scale, and complexity don’t come at the expense of clarity, dignity, or safety. You will shape experiences that thousands (or millions) of people move through every day.
