Mississauga, Canada Myant Corp. Full time

**About Us**

At Myant, we are creating the world’s first expressive and continuous digital presence platform, enabled by integrating technology directly into clothing and augmented by other devices, wearables, and IOT. We see the evolution of society where every member gets to participate from anywhere and anytime through a whole-body experience, mostly in a passive or ambient manner to foster ubiquitous accessibility. Humans have a fundamental desire and need to be connected to our environment, family, community, and technology. This level of connection will create a paradigm shift in the way we deal with each other, especially from afar, allowing for more meaningful relationships, and more in-depth representation of ourselves.

The need for this type of connection is not new. There are many companies working on ways to connect humans in singularity with technology, however most of these technologies are based on devices that are often used in episodical ways hence, leading to poor adoption or reliability. In general, innovation and technology have delivered significant benefits for many members of society. However, there are those who are left behind, namely the very young, the marginalized, the old and the sick. The challenge of inclusion for those left behind requires us to move beyond device focused strategies, towards an interface that we use naturally, every day. We believe that têxtile is that primary interface, used in clothing, coverings, carpeting and more, we wear and are surrounded by têxtiles universally, always.

Such an interface could fuse data with other devices that we use periodically and data with other IoTs in the environment. People could then leverage their physical presence over their digital presence to communicate and share personal wellbeing. This could unlock healthcare that is proactive and preventative, social connectedness that is more profound, enable care distribution models to be seamless and on demand, better fitness insights, safer working environments and more.

The vision for SKIIN -our first consumer-facing brand
- is to enhance human ability through connected clothing and têxtiles. Skiin is in beta-phase market launch and has been recently granted Health Canada medical device license and submitted to FDA for regulatory approval in the US market. The sensors and actuators embedded within our apparel create your Digital Identity, which will be consumed by those who matter to you - your family members, physicians, trainers, other IoT devices - without you consciously having to think about it. The line between the digital and physical world is becoming increasingly blurry and we believe têxtile is the next medium to bridge that gap.

We are a multi-disciplinary technology team solving big challenges at the intersection of electronics, deep tech., software, design, advanced manufacturing, and data science.

**What we offer at Myant**:

- Employee stock options
- Paid Sick Days and Floating Days
- Group Health Insurance Plan
- RRSP matching Plan
- Corporate Events
- Exposure working in one of the most innovative and forward-thinking tech companies.

**Responsibilities**:

- Invest in understanding human psychology and behaviour to identify user pain points and identify UX opportunities
- Use your creativity and informed judgment to translate complex and abstract product visions into concepts that are simple, intuitive and visually refined
- Achieve product requirements and business objectives by researching, ideating, mocking up, and prototyping digital and physical experiences across hardware and software
- Deliver strategic quality UX artifacts, such as wireframes, functional specifications, customer journey maps, research guides, testing output, etc.
- Clearly and effectively communicate design processes, ideas, and solutions to the team, sharing your insights on the latest UX guidelines and industry standards
- Create and drive actionable research insights to product management and engineering teams

**Qualifications**:

- PhD in Cognitive/Experimental Psychology, Cognitive Science, Kinesiology, Biomedical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, UX design or a closely related scientific or engineering field
- Experience in experimental design, psychophysics, behavioral analytics, and proficiency with inferential statistics
- Track record of rigorous scientific research, including development of metrics for psychophysical and empirical behavioral measurements
- Experience in UX design for digital products, across both web and mobile and/or Experience in research for wearable technologies
