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
