Our client is seeking a Senior Researcher to assist their organization in Beaverton, Oregon.

Senior Researcher Responsibilities
We’re looking for an experienced teammate to conduct research at the intersection of sport, biomechanics, and robotics. This role will help develop new, innovative products for everyday athletes. To do this, you would work closely with a research team and use biomechanical hardware and software systems to collect, analyze, and interpret data. The successful candidate would bring skills in all these areas, as well as an ability to communicate complex data in simple ways, and an innovators mindset.

What You Will Do
As a researcher, you will be responsible for executing research projects (both applied and basic research) aimed at delivering validated performance insights that will lead to technologically innovative footwear, apparel and equipment that are globally relevant. You will work closely with the Principal Researcher to understand the research plan and vision, then execute the experiments independently. You may also participate in the development of new tools, methods and procedures that will streamline data acquisition. Finally, you will analyze and summarize data from research to communicate findings to the Principal Researcher and research team. A typical week would include meetings with a Principal Researcher to align on the research experiment plan, heads-down work time to operationalize that program, and hands-on laboratory work to collect and analyze the relevant data. It would also include meetings with other research colleagues to align on progress and next steps in the research process.

Senior Researcher Qualifications
MSc in Biomechanics or related fields including Engineering and Kinesiology, or BS in related fields plus 2 years of experience.

Experience using in-lab and field-based biomechanical data collection tools with human test participants.

Bias toward action and resilience in the face of challenges.
