Meta AR/VR Job | Research Scientist - Spatial Audio Signal Processing
Job（岗位）: Research Scientist - Spatial Audio Signal Processing
Type（岗位类型）: Research
Citys（岗位城市）: Redmond, WA
Date（发布日期）: 2022-2-15
Summary（岗位介绍）
Reality Labs brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented 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 all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interface, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. Some of those will advance much faster than others, but they all need to happen to enable AR and VR that are so compelling that they become an integral part of our lives.
The audio team within Reality Labs Research (RL-R) is looking for an experienced, innovative Research Scientist with expertise in spatial audio. In this position, you’ll develop advanced algorithms and signal processing techniques to solve complex problems in the intersection between spatial audio personalization, acoustics and signal processing, to advance the state-of-the art technologies that will change the way we perceive spatial audio in the metaverse.
