    Description
    Eight Sleep is the first sleep fitness company. At Eight Sleep we design products at the forefront of sleep innovation.

    Our mission is to make people's sleep count for more, using innovative technology, detailed design, and proven science and data to personalize and improve each night for everybody-changing the way people sleep forever and for better.

    We've launched our temperature-regulated smart bed, the Pod. It's an absolute game changer, improving people's health and happiness by changing the way they sleep. Early feedback is great, but we still have a long way to go toward achieving our mission.

    Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors including Valor Equity Partners, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures and Y Combinator, we've raised over $150 million (Series C) to date.

    We were recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in Consumer Electronics in 2019, 2022, and 2023.


    That is why Eight Sleep is looking for a hands-on, highly-organized and detail-oriented Research Associate to manage research studies for the company, including studies related to internal product validation, new prototype testing, new feature development, and large-scale, external validation studies.

    • Perform quality assurance of all collected data to ensure completeness and accuracy of information; follow up with subjects to resolve problems, address queries or clarify data collected.

    • Bachelor's Degree or equivalent in Exercise Science or Kinesiology, Human Physiology/Biology, Biomedical Engineering (or related field).
    • 2+ years of human research experience running large studies and comfortable at managing multiple studies in parallel, with different objectives.

    • Proficient in Google Suite & Microsoft office (word/google docs, excel/google sheets, powerpoint/google slides) & automation softwares for workflow optimization
    • Willing to locally travel to subjects' houses (i.e. must have a car) to set up the Pod for testing.
    • Able to lift ~25 pounds and to change the cover & sheets on a mattress, etc.

    Preferred:
