Experience independently running research studies end-to-end (objective-setting, study design, execution, and synthesis) is a plus. * Working knowledge of both qualitative discovery methods (usability testing, contextual inquiry) and quantitative data collection methods (surveys, analytics review, A/B testing, card sorting, tree testing, session observation). Demonstrated experience is a plus. * Strong note-taking and data organization skills where they are able to capture and structure raw findings accurately for leadership synthesis and analysis. * Reliable, detail-oriented execution of research protocols with minimal need for independent research strategy or stakeholder presentation. * Comfort operating with ambiguous, evolving requirements typical of mission/IC environments that is able to define research questions when none is handed to them is a plus., * Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements, * Bachelor's and 10 years of related experience. * Active TS/SCI w/ FSP required within 7 years. ## Description * Support the UX Lead by conducting user research sessions (interviews, usability tests, contextual inquiries) to collect raw behavioral and attitudinal data. * Execute discussion guides, screeners, and research protocols as defined by the UX Lead. * Observe and document user behaviors, pain points, and patterns during sessions, distinguishing what users say from what they actually do or need. * Administer quantitative data collection methods (surveys, card sorting, tree testing) in support of research plans set by the UX Lead. * Compile and organize raw research data (notes, session artifacts) into clean, structured formats for UX lead to synthesize., * Debug existing software and correct defects * Provide recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards * Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features * Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environments * Develop simple data queries for existing or proposed databases or data repositories * Write or review software and system documentation * Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project * Design or implement complex database or data repository interfaces/queries * Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system performance and functional standards * Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components * Develop software solutions by analyzing system performance standards, confer with users or system engineers; analyze systems flow, data usage and work processes; and investigate problem areas * Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new hardware, or to improve its performance * Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequences of design * Design or implement complex algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints; Perform quality control on team products * Implement recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards * Oversee one or more software development teams and ensure the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project * Confer with system engineers and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and to obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements and interfaces * Coordinate software system installation and monitor equipment functioning to ensure operational specifications are met * Recommend new technologies and processes for complex software projects * Serve as the technical lead of multiple software development teams * Select the software development process in coordination with the customer and system engineering * Ensure quality control of all developed and modified software * Delegate programming and testing responsibilities to one or more teams and monitor their performance Desired Skills: * Operate in an agile development environment requiring the delivery of User Experience feedback on a weekly basis. * Conduct User Experience research and optimization. * Create final visual designs, storyboards, interaction flows, and interface guidelines. * Take a user-centered approach in crafting design solutions that meet both user needs and product strategy requirements. * Work with Product Owners to rapidly prototype and iterate on multiple design solutions. * Review final implementation with front-end developers to insure design standards are followed. * Work across teams and communicate effectively with stakeholders within various customer bases to provide inspiration and constructive feedback to other Designers. * Leading project life cycle design including interviewing customers, clearly articulating customer requirements to design team, creating visual designs/prototypes, presenting information to customers, and helping solve and clarify questions and problems. 9.
