About the role
XP Health is running a 4–6 week study to test a new way to measure OC (optical center, the point on a lens that lines up with the eye) remotely. We’re comparing it against the in-person process we use today for progressive lenses. About 30 participants will each complete an at-home step and an in-office visit.
We’re hiring 3 opticians to work a handful of scheduled office days, each running their own station so participants move through smoothly. It’s a flexible, per-diem role that fits alongside a regular optical job. You’ll report to the study’s Principal Investigator.
What you’ll do
- Mark the optical center by hand (“dotting”) on each test frame. The lenses have no prescription, and your marks are the study’s ground-truth measurement.
- Work through about 10 frames per participant, at roughly 3 minutes per frame, keeping pace so sessions stay on schedule.
- Run your own station alongside two other opticians.
- Work with our on-site research assistant, who checks participants in, sets up frames and keeps the day on track.
- Complete CITI training before you meet any participants. It’s a short online course on research ethics.
What we’re looking for
- A licensed optician (ABO certified or state equivalent) with hands-on experience marking optical center and segment height
- Comfortable following a set research protocol exactly as written
- Steady and consistent across a full day of back-to-back sessions (about 4 participants a day)
- Based in, or able to travel to, the Bay Area for scheduled office days
- Willing to complete CITI training before starting, if you’re not already certified
Nice to have
- Experience with a research or clinical study
Details
- Employment type: Temporary per-diem contract, W-2 hourly (non-exempt)
- Pay: $30 per hour
- Schedule: A handful of scheduled office days on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays, about 9am–5pm. This isn’t a standing weekly schedule, and dates are shared in advance.
- Duration: A 4–6 week study, late October through November. No sessions will be held Thanksgiving week.
- Location: Onsite at XP Health HQ, San Carlos, CA
- Paid sick leave is provided under California law. This temporary role isn’t eligible for company benefits.
