UX Researcher IV

Location: Redmond, WA (Onsite)
Duration: 6 months.
Compensation: $58 - $78/hr
Work Requirements: US Citizen, Green Card Holders, or Authorized to Work in the U.S.

As a Contract UX Researcher, you will support a research portfolio focused on developing next-generation wearable research hardware. This role will work closely with research, product, industrial design, and hardware teams to help ensure new technologies are physically wearable, comfortable, and inclusive across a diverse human population.

• Plan and execute hands‑on fit, comfort, and anthropometry studies, including 3D head scanning, prototype wear testing, fit surveys, and human‑subject measurement studies.
• Design and run rapid, iterative validation studies against hardware targets such as weight, display geometry, and frame dimensions to inform design, CAD‑lock, and fabrication decisions.
• Build, maintain, and document anthropometry data pipelines and databases that support industrial design and hardware decision‑making.
• Apply quantitative research methods, including measurement, statistical analysis, and modeling of anthropometric and fit data, to define and support product design hypotheses.
• Collaborate closely with UX Research leadership, Industrial Design, Product, Engineering, and other hardware partners to translate research findings into device geometry, comfort, and fit decisions.
• Independently and collaboratively develop and execute research roadmaps across multiple concurrent fit and comfort studies.
• Partner with research vendors, research assistants, and external partners to expand data collection and analysis capacity.
• Communicate findings clearly through storytelling, data visualization, and research documentation for technical audiences, including design and engineering stakeholders.

• BA/BS degree in a human behavior, design, or quantitative‑related field such as Human‑Computer Interaction, Human Factors, Biomechanics, Anthropometry, Psychology, Statistics, Information Science, Computer Science, Economics, or a related discipline.
• Experience conducting UX research, human factors research, usability testing, interviews, surveys, or other human‑subject research methods.
• Strong quantitative research skills, including comfort with measurement, statistics, structured data analysis, and research data interpretation.
• Experience designing, cleaning, and analyzing surveys or structured study data, ideally using tools such as Qualtrics, Excel, R, Python, SPSS, SQL, Tableau, Looker, or similar platforms.
• Hands‑on data collection experience, ideally involving hardware, physical products, wearables, biometrics, 3D scanning, or human measurement.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate research findings into actionable recommendations for product, design, and engineering teams.
• Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and support multiple concurrent studies in a fast‑moving and ambiguous research environment.
• Strong problem‑solving, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.

• Graduate degree in Human‑Computer Interaction, Human Factors, Biomechanics, Anthropometry, Psychology, Statistics, Information Science, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Experience with wearable hardware, AR/VR devices, smart glasses, consumer electronics, medical devices, or other physical products.
• Experience with 3D scanning technologies for anthropometry, such as head scanning, body scanning, 3dMD, 3dSE, Arc7, or similar tools.
• Experience assessing population fit, comfort, ergonomics, or anthropometric variation for wearable hardware.
• Experience working with Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Product, or R&D teams.
• Experience building or maintaining research databases, data pipelines, or structured research repositories.
• Experience using storytelling and data visualization to influence technical audiences and support hardware or product decisions.
