Overview Reality Labs at Meta is seeking a Research Scientist with experience in 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 neural interface drawing on the rich neuromotor signals that can be measured non-invasively with single motor neuron resolution. This technology will become one of the main pillars for interaction with the virtual and augmented world. We are a multi-disciplinary team of researchers investigating the nature of human neuromotor signals (i.e., electromyography or EMG), 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.

Responsibilities

Build cutting-edge machine learning and signal processing models (event detection, sequence-to-sequence, signal separation, time series regression, etc.) to advance neuromotor interface products

Collaborate with engineering and research 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

Develop research-grade code for deployment in research prototypes

Work across organizational boundaries to solve our biggest problems

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience

PhD in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science, robotics, computer vision, computational neuroscience, signal processing, speech and language technologies, or related fields

Research-oriented software engineering skills, including fluency with libraries for scientific computing (e.g. SciPy ecosystem) and machine learning (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, Pandas)

Proficiency with quantitative methods (mathematics, statistics) and experience learning new technical knowledge and skills rapidly

Preferred Qualifications

8+ years of experience in designing, executing, interpreting, and presenting research studies

Demonstrated experience of identifying new opportunities for the larger organization & influencing the appropriate people

4+ years of experience as technical lead for a project of 4 or more individuals

Experience bringing machine learning-based products from research to production

Experience with interdisciplinary collaboration

Experience in the analysis and modeling of high dimensional time series, such as neural signals, multi-channel audio recordings, multi-modal/multi-sensor signals

Experience with speech enhancement, speech recognition, speech synthesis, source separation, audio event detection and classification, language modeling, or related topics

Experience with real-time signal processing and/or human-computer interaction

Experience with large scale cluster computing for machine learning modeling

Experience developing end-to-end ML pipelines, including: dataset preprocessing, model development and evaluation, and software integration

Experience in software engineering in industry

Experience with scientific communication tools (Jupyter, Matplotlib)
