We're seeking a PhD Research Intern to help advance Meta's methods to quantify/model user fit of wearable devices with a focus on head and eye pose measurement, and their implications on visual quality, comfort, and other system performance.
Requirements
- Design and execute a research plan—from problem statement through data collection, analysis, and recommendations.
- Develop and refine instrumentation techniques and protocols for capturing anthropometric data (e.g., eye tracking, head pose, gaze behavior), optimizing for throughput, reliability, and practicality.
- Build repeatable pipelines for sensor and data acquisition, processing, and quality assurance.
- Quantify uncertainty, repeatability, and practical tradeoffs (e.g., fidelity, cost, scalability) to inform design decisions.
- Develop models or frameworks that characterize variability and inform realistic design targets for wearable systems.
- Communicate results to cross-functional partners through written reports, clear visuals, and actionable recommendations.
Benefits
- Paid internship
- Opportunity to work on a research project
- Collaborative work environment
