Citys（岗位城市）: Redmond, WA
Date（发布日期）: 2021-12-18
Summary（岗位介绍）
Reality Labs Research (RLR) brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of augmented and virtual reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. Just as personal computers have done over the past 45 years, AR and VR will ultimately change everything about how we work, play, and connect.
We are developing the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interfaces, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence.
The audio team within RLR is looking for an experienced, innovative hearing research scientist with a specialty in machine learning to join our growing team in Redmond, WA. You will be leading and conducting research on spatial audio perception, quality, and modeling as part of a growing team of scientists, researchers, post-docs, and PhD student interns.
