At Facebook Reality Labs (FRL), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Research Scientist to join our team, whose mission is to unleash human potential by erasing the bottlenecks between user intent and action. We are specifically looking for a candidate with experience in HCI and interactive computing and who can work with a team of researchers who are exploring the potential of neural interfaces, which has grown out of the acquisition of CTRL-labs. More broadly, the chosen candidate will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers and will have access to cutting edge technology, resources, and testing facilities.
Research Scientist – Neural Interface Interactions Responsibilities
- Plan and execute cutting-edge research of forward-looking interactions that are uniquely enabled by neural interface technology
- Collaborate with neuroscientists and machine learning experts to unlock and perfect new capabilities to build interactions upon
- Create prototypes which explore neural interfaces in a variety of environments and situations
- Measure and evaluate the performance and qualities of promising interactions
Minimum Qualifications
- Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
- PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or related field
- Experience working independently to design, execute, interpret, and present interactions research
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with novel/prototype hardware, robotics, or physical computing
- Experience with gestural or wearable computing interfaces
- Familiarity with machine learning algorithms
- Familiarity with real-time signal processing (filtering, debouncing, etc.)
- Technical and non-technical communication skills
