The vacancy is also looking for engineers for a brain-computer interface with a Ph.D. classification. in the field of neuroscience. Later, the position will participate in developing the project for approximately two years.
Another position that the company is looking for is an engineer for developing audio signal processing algorithms. Just like the previous information, this position will be asked to help develop communication and computing platform for the future.
In addition to a number of open vacancies, the social networking giant was previously also known to have brought a neuroscientist into the team. Mark Chevillet of John Hopkins University who joined Facebook in September 2016 as a technical project lead.
Not yet known what Facebook plans against the division. Because, until now still refused to comment on the project developed the division.
But judging by Mark Zuckerberg's comments in 2015, it is also possible that the division is developing a communication device that is controlled through the brain. At that time, he expressed his optimism about technology that can transmit thoughts from one person to another.
