Are you looking to join an organization that is growing and dynamic? What about a high-energy, collaborative environment that rewards hard work?
J.S. Held is a global consulting firm that combines technical, scientific, financial, and strategic expertise to advise clients seeking to realize value and mitigate risk. Our professionals serve as trusted advisors to organizations facing high stakes matters demanding urgent attention, staunch integrity, proven experience, clear-cut analysis, and an understanding of both tangible and intangible assets.
The firm provides a comprehensive suite of services, products, and data that enable clients to navigate complex, contentious, and often catastrophic situations.
We are seeking an experienced Senior User Experience Researcher with a background in biomechanics (preferred) or kinesiology to join our Human Factors team. This is a unique opportunity for an entrepreneurial, highly driven person with a well-rounded skill set to join the Human Factors team, whose responsibilities extend beyond those of traditional Human Factors or Biomechanics professionals. The ideal person for this role will need to have not only a strong grasp of, and experience with, UX research, but also be flexible and a strategic thinker able to take on a variety of tasks, including project management and client lead development. You should be able to perform these tasks somewhat autonomously and with little need for guidance.
The Human Factors team performs a variety of studies related to product use-related health (including musculoskeletal strain), safety (including physical injury risk), usability, and user experience, by bringing to bear methodologies from basic science, such as motion capture, biofidelic kinetic computer modeling and simulation, physiological data recording, or eye tracking. You will help in operationalizing client needs as empirical research questions, designing bespoke studies around those research questions, collecting data from participants using a wealth of custom-tailored methodologies, analyzing data in creative ways, and translating the results back into actionable outcomes for our clients. Your work may also entail working up litigation matters related to alleged physical injuries and, eventually, testifying as an expert witness in biomechanics. As a consultant, your experiences will be as varied and diverse as the products and services out there, possibly spanning automotive, medical, pharma, consumer electronics, appliances, heavy machinery, child products, and extended reality products.
Please submit an academic CV, rather than a resume, unless you are a candidate with industry experience.
