What are the responsibilities and job description for the Wearable Technology Research Scientist position at Meta?
Summary:
As a Wearable Technology Research Scientist at Meta Reality Labs, you will work with a cross-functional team including electrical, mechanical, and materials scientists and engineers delivering on early phase research in wearable systems. This role is expected to lead a portfolio of research investments yielding step function improvements in capability or performance of body coupled systems, sensors, and actuators. This role will be a key participant in building Proof of Concepts (POC) or Proof of Experience (POE) in collaboration with hardware, materials, and manufacturing research, and engineering development teams. The role is expected to lead across engineering and science teams in Reality Labs Research with roadmaps and white papers proposing or realizing fundamentally new capabilities within the domains of mechanics, biomechanics, interaction, and Human Computer Interfaces.
Required Skills:
Wearable Technology Research Scientist Responsibilities:
- Lead hardware research teams in defining, designing, and developing fundamental technologies for AR/VR research programs.
- Develop strategic relationships with product peers and engineering, research, business, design, and user research teams to help define research requirements and architecture.
- Lead the progression of research from benchtop to scalable prototype.
- Identify promising technologies or research areas and direct concept validation against business need.
- Motivate teams and projects towards planning, engineering and standing-up VR/AR POCs or POEs.
Minimum Qualifications:
Minimum Qualifications:
- 10 years of industrial or academic experience in research and development.
- PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or related field.
- Demonstrated leadership experience in a research institution, managing students, researchers, leading committees or conference sessions, or equivalent experience.
