Market researcher Jobs in Woodbridge, ON

Job description

HireArt is helping TRI hire a Senior UX Researcher to join its team in building a much more intelligent vehicle that places humans at the center of a more evocative and safer driving experience.

In this role, you'll lead the effort to define user needs and use cases and evaluate prototypes at various levels of design fidelity, including with HMI HW installed in a vehicle.

We're looking for someone with a Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Cognitive Psychology, Human factors, or a related field, or equivalent experience. The ideal candidate has experience in mixed methods and is proficient in statistical analysis methods.

As a UX Researcher, you will :

• Design and conduct user studies to gather insights to guide iterations of multimodal interaction designs and HMIs.
• Propose and own the timeline of UX studies and work with the project owner, design team, engineering team, and TPM to ensure timely delivery of relevant insights to drive feature decisions.
• Conduct a needs assessment of customers, including competitor benchmarking, literature review, contextual inquiries, vehicle ride-alongs, interviews, and questionnaires.
• Work closely with the project owner and design team to prioritize use cases and features to meet customer needs.
• Conduct usability studies at various levels of fidelity depending on HMI SW / HW maturity and modality (i.e., online studies, clickable / paper prototypes, bench HW setups, full vehicle HW).
• Learn how to use all HMI SW / HW to independently execute user studies without significant technical support.
• Recruit and compensate internal TRI participants and work with a recruiter to bring in external participants.
• Work with and delegate tasks to a research assistant to aid in the preparation and execution of user studies.
• Present quantitative and qualitative user study results and insights via written reports and presentations to stakeholders.
