Internship Brain Computer Interface Jobs in Seattle, WA

Research Scientist III
Location: Redmond WA Onsite
Duration: 12 months with possible extension.
Meta Reality Labs brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. And just as personal computers have done over the past 45 years, AR and VR will ultimately change everything about how we work, play, and connect. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interface, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. Some of those will advance much faster than others, but they all need to happen to enable AR and VR devices that are so compelling they become an integral part of our lives.
Beyond working within current paradigms to realize our vision, Reality Labs is heavily
invested in materials research and development at the fundamental level. This involves,
but is not limited to, designing and characterizing materials yet to be discovered, for highly
specific applications.
Responsibilities:
The position involves designing, building and automating an established workflow for the experimental screening of organic materials. Built on current in-house processes, this will streamline data acquisition required for the development of novel optoelectronic materials.
Develop next-generation optoelectronic materials with an emphasis on advanced design, fabrication, and analysis, to prove new concepts and understand the potential impact of those concepts.
Collaborate with the larger Meta Reality Labs Research team to holistically understand current goals, limitations, and bottlenecks in the wider AR/VR space.
Build with and develop an intimate understanding of equipment designed for high-throughput experiments.
Design and automate novel crystal growth, processing, and analysis techniques, with a focus on highly specific components and devices.
Communicate results internally and with external partners.
Assist in the translation of research results to practical application in Meta product development.
Minimum Qualifications:
PhD or Masters in Physics, Chemistry, Optical Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or relevant technical field.
Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
Experience programming hardware interfaces (e.g., serial/I2C/SPI communication, DAQ systems, motion control) using Python, LabVIEW, C, or similar languages.
2+ years experience in at least one of the following areas: chemistry, materials, organic materials, crystallization, nucleation, solid state analysis, optoelectronic materials.
2+ years experience, experimental laboratory work (i.e., demonstrated ability to take concepts, adapt them and translate them to the bench-top).
Preferred Qualifications:
Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at relevant high-impact journals.
Experience with solid-state analysis: e.g. diffuse reflectance, XRD, spectroscopy, DSC, optical microscopy.
Experience with crystallographic software (e.g. CCDC suite, BGMN, Profex, Olex2).
Experience with HPLC, LC-MS, UV/Vis and/or GC.
Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment.
Experience with crystal growth and related concepts (e.g. supersaturation, nucleation, etc.).
