Role overview

We are looking for a Senior UX Researcher to bring user insights into our product teams through well-conducted research. This role supports multiple software studios (Power, RF, and Precision), helping teams understand user workflows, validate product direction, and improve experience quality through evidence-based decision-making.

As a senior individual contributor, you’ll be expected to operate with a high degree of independence: shaping research plans, managing stakeholders, and ensuring findings translate into clear decisions and product improvements.

Responsibilities

As a Senior UX Researcher, you will be responsible for increasing our knowledge in key areas of product development: problem spaces, user needs, and product opportunities. You will orchestrate and conduct discovery and evaluative research (e.g., user interviews, workflow studies, usability tests, concept/prototype testing) using the methods most appropriate to the question at hand.

Your responsibilities will include:

Research planning & execution

• Identifying research needs for projects before or as they kick off.
• Creating research plans, aligning, and clearly outlining roles across cross-functional partners.
• Conducting primary research with users (remote and in-person where applicable): interviews, usability testing, workflow studies, concept/prototype testing, and other relevant techniques.
• Leveraging secondary research (previous internal research, market/context research) to build domain knowledge and accelerate learning.

Synthesis & communication

• Synthesizing user feedback into clear themes and actionable recommendations.
• Communicating findings with succinct readouts and decision-focused storytelling for product teams and stakeholders.
• Supporting Product and UX partners in shaping hypotheses and validating assumptions related to user needs and product direction.

Cross-studio collaboration

• Working across Power, RF, and Precision teams to ensure research efforts complement each other (avoiding duplication and sharing reusable insights).
• Partnering with internal domain experts and field-facing teams (e.g., Field Applicaton Engineers) to ground research in real engineering workflows and constraints.

Knowledge sharing & research enablement

• Contributing to a shared research repository/hub, so findings are accessible, reusable, and aligned to team standards.
• Helping teams integrate user research into their design and development lifecycle and raising research literacy through pragmatic guidance.

What we’re looking for (expectations)

• Proven experience conducting UX research across the product lifecycle (discovery through evaluative).
• Ability to independently run end-to-end research and manage multiple stakeholders with good judgement and clarity.
• Comfortable engaging with technical users and complex engineering workflows and translating complexity into actionable insights.
• Strong synthesis and communication skills: you can distil ambiguity into clear recommendations and tell a story that drives decisions.
• A pragmatic, adaptable approach. We often work in emerging spaces where we need to apply research flexibly.

Nice-to-have (adds leverage, but not required)

• Experience operating across multiple teams/products (shared-service research model) and building lightweight research cadences/feedback loops.
• Exposure to analytics and/or large-scale surveys; comfort triangulating qual + quant.
• Light experience producing rough prototypes/wireframes for testing (helpful, but not a primary requirement for the role).
• Experience improving research operations: repository hygiene, tagging/standards, and making research more discoverable and reusable.
• Workshop facilitation (ideation, alignment, synthesis sessions).
• Experience operating in enterprise environments, with the ability to navigate organizational complexity and collaborate effectively across multiple teams and stakeholders.
