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 technologies.
• Collaborate with research scientists and research engineers to deploy models that leverage fundamental scientific knowledge into new technology and user experiences.
• 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.
• Help transition and deliver our work from research into product.
  
  

Minimum Qualifications:

• Research-oriented software engineering skills, including fluency in python and in libraries for scientific computing (e.g. SciPy ecosystem, Pandas)
• Masters degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or relevant technical field
• Proficiency with quantitative methods (mathematics, statistics) and experience learning new technical knowledge and skills rapidly
• Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
• Familiarity with architectural patterns of large scale software applications
• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• PhD in one of the following fields: deep learning, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science, robotics, computer vision, computational neuroscience, signal processing, or related fields
• Demonstrated track record of rapid prototyping and disciplined software development processes
• Experience developing end-to-end ML pipelines, including: dataset preprocessing, model development and evaluation, and software integration
• Experience in software engineering in industry
• Experience bringing machine learning-based products from research to production
• Experience with scientific communication tools (Jupyter, Matplotlib)
• Research and software engineer experience demonstrated via an internship, contributions to open source, work experience, or coding competition
