Citys（岗位城市）: Redmond, WA
Date（发布日期）: Before 2021-12-14
Summary（岗位介绍）
Reality Labs (RL) is a world leader in the design of virtual reality systems. We are currently seeking innovative Research Scientist Interns with a passion for technology to develop next-generation soft robotic systems at our research location in Redmond, WA. These roles are focused on the research and invention of novel polymer manufacturing techniques. In particular, we welcome PhD students in mechanical engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or similar fields. Our internships are sixteen (16) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
Qualifications（岗位要求）
Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD degree in the field of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields.
Interpersonal experience: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration.
2+ years experience with polymer formulation, photopolymerization, photo-acid and base generators, additive manufacturing (3D printing) or other advanced polymer manufacturing technologies.
Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
Description（岗位职责）
Research next-generation fabrication of soft haptic and robotic devices with an emphasis on both theory and physical embodiment of the new concepts. The position will have an emphasis on fundamental scientific and engineering questions related to advanced polymeric materials that inform new concepts and the perceptual impact of those concepts.
Collaborate with the larger Reality Labs Research team and provide creative leadership on active material technologies.
The type of work should be publishable research results in top-tier journals and at leading international conferences in materials science.
Additional Requirements（额外要求）
Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship/co-op.
Experience developing multiphysics models relating to polymerization, diffusion, mechanical properties, or optical correction algorithms.
Experience developing conjugated polymers from synthesis to processing.
2+ years experience with soft material characterization techniques (NMR, FT-IR, rheology, tensile test, dielectric spectroscopy) or developing custom material testing hardware.
Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by first-authored publications.
