Meta Reality Labs is looking for a Research Engineer to help us unleash human potential by eliminating the bottlenecks between intent and action. To achieve this, we're building a practical neural interface drawing on the rich neuromotor signals that can be measured non-invasively using electromyography (EMG). Our research lies at the intersection of computational neuroscience, machine learning, signal processing, statistics, biophysics, motor learning, AR/VR and human-computer interaction.
Research Engineer, Neuromotor 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.
- Design methods, tools and infrastructure to analyze and leverage rich multimodal data sets.
- Define short-term research goals, informed by practical engineering concerns.
- Collaborate with research scientists and research engineers to deploy models that leverage fundamental scientific knowledge into new technology and user experiences.
- Help transition and deliver our work from research into product.
Minimum Qualifications
