Research Scientist - CTRL Labs

OverviewReality Labs at Meta is seeking Research Scientists with experience in product-focused machine learning and signal processing research to advance neuromotor interfaces, which has grown out of the acquisition of CTRL-labs. We’re building a practical interface drawing on neuromotor signals that can be measured non-invasively via surface electromyography (EMG) with single motor neuron resolution. This technology could become a main pillar 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.ResponsibilitiesResearch and develop Deep Learning or other computational modelsDesign methods, tools and infrastructure to analyze and leverage rich multimodal data setsSet technical direction for a project of 2-3 researchers and engineersHelp transition and deliver our work from research into productAdapt standard machine learning methods to best leverage modern parallel environments (e.g. distributed clusters, multicore SMP, and GPU)Minimum QualificationsBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experiencePh.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Statistics/MathematicsExperience with developing machine learning models at scale from inception to business impactProgramming experience in Python and hands-on experience with frameworks such as PyTorchExposure to architectural patterns of large scale software applicationsMust obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employmentPreferred QualificationsProven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at peer-reviewed AI conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, CVPR, ICML, ICLR, ICCV, ACL, and ICASSP)Demonstrated software engineer experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. GitHub)Experience bringing machine learning-based products from research to productionCompensation and Role DetailsPublic Compensation: $177,000/year to $251,000/year + benefitsIndustry: InternetEqual OpportunityMeta is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.
