Job（岗位）: Audio Systems Engineering Lead, AR/VR Research | Oculus
Type（岗位类型）: Research
Citys（岗位城市）: Redmond, WA
Date（发布日期）: 2022-3-3
Summary（岗位介绍）
Reality Labs Research (RL-R) at Meta brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality. The Audio Research team is focused on harnessing the power of AR and VR to make virtual sounds indistinguishable from reality and give audio superpowers to billions of people, forever transforming the way we work, play, and connect. We believe that a key component of this mission is to improve and enhance human hearing for people at all levels of hearing ability in all aspects of their daily life.
We are looking for an Audio Systems Engineering Lead to join our growing interdisciplinary team working to solve difficult problems at the intersection of digital signal processing, acoustics, hearing sciences, auditory perception, multimodal interaction, and artificial intelligence. In this position, you will lead an audio systems engineering team to integrate the latest research technologies to an embedded system, prototyping new audio-forward features which extend beyond the capability of existing consumer audio devices. You will demonstrate the value of such features by evaluating their subjective and objective performance and developing compelling experience demos. You will collaborate closely with a cross-functional team of engineers, research scientists, and experience designers to pursue integration paths that optimize for performance and user experience. These advanced development efforts ultimately aim to introduce new audio technologies to future AR products by demonstrating their experiential value and product viability.
