Meta(Meta Platforms)岗位:Research Scientist Intern, Wearable Sensing & Human Motion Analysis Responsibilities
Operate egocentric data collections on our state-of-the-art in-lab simulator - instrument participants with Aria Gen 2 and Neural Band wearables, run capture sessions, and use the simulator's ground-truth as supervision and validation signal for your models.
Design and train models over multimodal egocentric time-series: Aria Gen 2 (SLAM/IMU, eye gaze, RGB) fused with Neural Band surface EMG and wrist IMU.
Tackle the core modeling problems: temporal swing phase segmentation (address → takeaway → impact → follow-through), kinematic/intent estimation from a head-mounted and wrist-worn viewpoint, and swing-quality scoring.
Build an evaluation harness that benchmarks the model against the existing threshold baseline on held-out players - accuracy, phase-boundary error, and cross-subject generalization.
Define the capture and labeling protocol, and handle the realities of small, noisy, personalized datasets (self-supervised pretraining, augmentation, subject-adaptive fine-tuning).
Integrate the winning model back into our prototype and demo it end to end.
Write up results; strong work is a candidate for publication or an internal tech report.
Minimum Qualifications
Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree in the domain of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Biomechanics, or a related field
Strong Python and hands-on experience training models in PyTorch
Working knowledge of sequence/time-series modeling (temporal CNNs, transformers, state-space models, HMM/CTC-style segmentation)
Experience working with real sensor data, not just curated benchmarks
Comfortable running hands-on hardware experiments with human participants in a lab setting
Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
Preferred Qualifications
Experience designing and executing your own data collections with wearable or motion-capture hardware
Research experience with IMU-based human activity recognition, pose/motion estimation, or wearable biosignals
Experience with surface EMG:filtering, rectification, envelope extraction, electrode-shift and cross-session variability
Familiarity with egocentric perception (Project Aria, Ego4D/Ego-Exo4D, Aria Digital Twin) or multimodal sensor fusion
Background in sports biomechanics or motion analysis
self-supervised or few-shot learning for personalization
First-author publications at CVPR/ICCV/ECCV/NeurIPS/ICLR, or in biomechanics and wearables venues
Plays swing sports - genuinely helpful for labeling and sanity-checking feedback
Intent to return to a degree-program after the completion of the internship
