Senior UX Researcher

What You'll Do

• 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. #LI-TK1 For positions requiring access to technical data, Analog Devices, Inc. may have to obtain export licensing approval from the U.S.
