Summary（岗位介绍）
Facebook Reality Labs Research is looking for motivated researchers to help create the next generation of virtual reality. Our research focuses on finding comprehensive solutions to complex tracking problems, delivering novel technologies and algorithms fundamental to future VR systems. You’ll have a unique opportunity to collaborate with industry-leading researchers and engineers who are defining the future of VR and AR.
As an Applied Research Scientist, you will bring eye tracking research initiatives from paper analysis to full proof-of-concept platforms. We welcome candidates who strive for a deep understanding of complex systems and who harbor a strong desire to push beyond state-of-the-art. Ideal candidates are expected to model expected performance of novel scanning optical systems primarily using micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) mirrors, validate these models through rapid prototypes and benchtop systems, collaborate with cross-disciplinary peers to understand practical limits of these architectures with off-the-shelf or custom components. They are comfortable assembling virtual teams and/or establishing external partnerships to work past these limits.
Qualifications（岗位要求）
