Job Description:

Meta Reality Labs is dedicated to exploring and developing novel technologies for next-generation human-computer interaction. Our team is focused on advancing touch-based tactile sensing, including fingertip and large-area skin-based area sensor solutions. As an intern, you will contribute to the development and integration of innovative tactile sensing systems, working at the intersection of hardware, materials, and system-level design. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

Job Responsibility:

  • Propose novel tactile sensing system architectures to achieve high performance and high durability for Robotics
  • Develop tactile sensing systems and build prototypes
  • Characterize the tactile sensing system and experiment with practical use cases
  • Collaboration with and support of other researchers across various disciplines
  • Communication of research agenda, progress and results

Requirements:

  • Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in Optical Science, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field
  • Experience in one or more types of tactile sensors such as optical, resistive, capacitive, or piezoelectric
  • Experience in system-level design and prototyping of tactile sensing solutions
  • Proven analytical and computational skills
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment

Nice to have:

  • Integration of tactile sensors in robotic platforms, such as robotic hands
  • Use of tactile sensors in dexterous manipulation systems and enhancing manipulation algorithms
  • Programming/scripting for simulation automation (Python, MATLAB, etc.)
  • Experience with sensor and imaging performance analysis and data interpretation
  • Experience with the full simulation and modeling pipeline to design tactile sensors
  • Proven track record of interdisciplinary research in either optics, mechanics, and materials, as demonstrated by publications, grants, or fellowships
  • Intent to return to the degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op
