Summary（岗位介绍）
The Reality Labs Research Audio Team is looking for an Acoustic System Engineer to help bring cutting edge virtual, augmented, and mixed reality hardware and experiences to life. In our Research & Advanced Development projects, we are setting out to fundamentally transform how people interact with sound and audio devices; bringing new high value experiences to the daily lives of billions of people. To make this possible, we foster a well-rounded team that nurtures kinship, enables good communication, and is sympathetic to the challenges in these diverse domains.
The successful candidate will be an instinctive engineer who involves their head, heart, and hands in the design process. We are looking for experience in all aspects of audio system design - from proof-of-concept, product development, testing, through to production readiness. The ideal engineer employs data driven design, objective and subjective audio evaluation, and a common sense mindset to complex engineering challenges. The best fit for the role will be a personable communicator who can clearly and concisely relate audio quality to physical acoustics design.
In this role, you will be leading and cooperating with engineers and researchers to conceive, design, and build the next generation of research hardware systems that enable social VR and AR. You will be collaborating and contributing at a deeply technical level and guiding the efforts of team members supporting you; including vendors and manufacturing partners. You will be responsible for intaking requirements from researchers and engineers, defining optimized workflows, identifying risks and associated mitigation plans, and clearly communicate to program stakeholders. You will lead the design of hardware systems including micro-loudspeakers, microphones, DSP, amplifiers and other sensors and transducers.
We are looking for someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, exhibits a sense of ownership, and enjoys an honest and considerate environment. We have a wide variety of problems that need solutions, and we depend on people who embrace a creative, thoughtful approach to both short-term and long-term problem solving.
