Summary（岗位介绍）
Reality Labs Research (RL-R) brings together a world-class R&D team of researchers, developers, and engineers to build the future of connection within virtual and augmented reality. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses.
One of the goals of the Surreal team at RL-R is to develop next generation image sensing architectures together with the computational imaging algorithm components needed to build a new generation of end-to-end real-time 3D scene understanding systems.
The Surreal team is seeking an experienced Technical Lead Manager (TLM) Research Scientist to lead and support a group of world-class researchers working on this initiative. We are looking for someone comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and capable to lead a fast-paced, highly flexible team spanning from image sensing hardware all the way to application specific algorithm development. We have a wide variety of problems that need solutions, and we depend on people who are comfortable embracing a creative, thoughtful and ambitious approach to both short-term and long-term problem-solving.
