Meta AR/VR Job | Applied Scientist – Audio Algorithms (PhD)
Job（岗位）: Applied Scientist – Audio Algorithms (PhD)
Type（岗位类型）: Research
Citys（岗位城市）: Bellevue, WA
Date（发布日期）: 2022-1-20
Summary（岗位介绍）
The Remote Presence Audio Algorithms team at Meta develops the core tech underlying the audio stack for real-time communications across the Facebook family of Apps – owning audio quality for billions of users of Messenger, Facebook, Instagram, Portal, Oculus etc.
Our work is focused on ensuring that our users experience great audio quality regardless of the device they use (avoid echo, remove noise, etc.) or the network they are on (compensate for packet loss and jitter in the network, respond to bandwidth changes, etc.). The team is playing a critical role in enabling new audio features in the metaverse.
We are increasingly pivoting towards ML to solve a number of problems in the audio domain, such as background noise suppression, echo cancellation, dereverberation, packet loss concealment, codecs, ML based estimation of in-call audio quality, building predictors of user perception based on technical metrics reported from calls, predicting in-call network conditions, adjusting our algorithms to compensate for changes in bandwidth/packet loss jitter, and more.
We are growing rapidly, with lots of exciting growth and mentorship opportunities in a strong team, and the opportunity to positively impact our user base.
