Job Information
Meta Research Scientist, Neural Interfaces in Burlingame, California
Summary:
Reality Labs at Meta is seeking Research Scientists with experience in product-focused machine learning and signal processing research to advance our pioneering work in neuromotor interfaces, which has grown out of the acquisition of CTRL-labs. We’re building a practical interface drawing on the rich neuromotor signals that can be measured non-invasively via surface electromyography (EMG) with single motor neuron resolution. This technology could become one of the main pillars for interaction with virtual and augmented worlds. We are a multi-disciplinary team of researchers investigating the nature of human neuromotor signals, developing novel signal processing and machine learning methods to infer a user’s intent, and creating novel interaction techniques and user experiences. Help us unleash human potential by removing the bottlenecks between user intent and action.
Required Skills:
Research Scientist, Neural Interfaces Responsibilities:
Plan and execute cutting-edge applied research to advance neuromotor interface capabilities.
Design experiments to collect neuromotor and interaction data and evaluate human and model performance.
Collaborate with engineering and Human-Computer Interactions (HCI) teams to deploy models that leverage fundamental scientific knowledge into new technology and user experiences.
Use quantitative research methods to define, iterate upon, and advance key areas of our research agenda.
Set technical direction for a project of 2-3 researchers and engineers.
