Job description

Altium is transforming the way electronics are designed and built. Our cloud platform, Altium 365, enables distributed teams to collaborate seamlessly across the entire electronics development lifecycle - from design to manufacturing. By connecting people, processes, and data, Altium 365 helps teams move faster, reduce errors, and deliver high-quality hardware products at scale. We are looking for a

UX Researcher to shape end-to-end experiences across Altium 365. You'll be the person who keeps our product decisions connected to real users. You'll run the conversations, test the ideas before we build them, and make sure everything we learn stays findable instead of getting lost in old Slack threads and someone's notebook. You'll work closely with designers, PMs, and engineers throughout the whole cycle, from early problem framing to post-launch validation. This is a hands‑on role with a lot of autonomy. You'll own the research practice rather than execute someone else's plan.

What you'll do

Talk to users, regularly

Own the participant pipeline: recruiting, screening, scheduling, incentives, consent Run interviews, contextual inquiries, diary studies, and surveys Build a steady cadence of user contact so the team is never more than a couple of weeks from fresh input Validate ideas and prototypes

Partner with designers and PMs to turn open questions into research questions Run usability tests and concept tests on wireframes, prototypes, and live features Choose the right method for the decision at hand, including quick, scrappy studies when speed matters more than rigor Deliver findings that clearly state what to change and what the trade-offs are Build and maintain the insights repository

Set up and curate a searchable database of findings, tagged by product area, user segment, and theme Connect new findings to old ones so patterns surface over time Make it genuinely usable for the rest of the team, not just an archive Track which insights led to which decisions, and revisit assumptions that haven't held up Raise the team's research literacy

Coach designers and PMs to run their own lightweight studies well Share findings in formats people actually read and watch: short readouts, highlight reels, workshops Push back when a decision is being made on opinion where evidence is available or cheap to get
