Meta AR/VR Job | Research Scientist, Machine Learning Applications in Spatial Audio (PhD)
Job（岗位）: Research Scientist, Machine Learning Applications in Spatial Audio (PhD)
Type（岗位类型）: Machine Learning | Research
Citys（岗位城市）: Redmond, WA
Date（发布日期）: 2022-3-28
Summary（岗位介绍）
Reality Labs Research (RL-R), Meta brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of augmented and virtual reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. And 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 interfaces, 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 RL-R is looking for an experienced, innovative Research Scientist with a broad set of skills in computational modeling and statistical analysis preferably in the context of audio or acoustics. In this position, you’ll develop advanced algorithms and computational modeling approaches 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.
