About Joseph Ott

I\'m a human factors engineer with 12+ years in aerospace and aviation, currently leading Human Systems Integration on NASA\'s Artemis Lunar Gateway HALO module at Northrop Grumman. I\'m also an FAA-licensed private pilot with 130+ flight hours and hold three issued patents in aircraft pilot interface design.I provide expert consulting and testimony in:• Aviation accidents & human error analysis• Cockpit and flight deck design (commercial, military, UAV)• Human factors in space systems & crew habitats• UAV ground control station design & operations• Task analysis, workload assessment, & usability evaluation• HITL testing, VR/AR simulation, & virtual prototyping• EVA crew interface design & spacesuit-constrained operations• Requirements development & flight hardware certification• Patent litigation support & intellectual property analysis• MIL-STD-1472G compliance & defense human factorsMy career spans NASA (Ames Research Center, Artemis Gateway, Lunar Terrain Vehicle), Northrop Grumman (HALO, Triton, ROK UAV, US Space Command programs), and Honeywell Aerospace (flight simulator research for NASA, FAA, and DARPA). I\'ve led test campaigns with astronaut crews, designed interfaces for deep space habitats, and delivered human factors analysis for both military and commercial aviation systems.Two peer-reviewed publications. MS in Human Factors & Ergonomics Engineering (San Jose State). BS in Human Factors Psychology with a minor in Aviation Systems Safety (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University).Available for expert network calls, case review, written reports, depositions, and advisory engagements. Typical response time under 6 hours.Contact me directly or through any major expert network.
