Summary（岗位介绍）
Mixed Reality and AI Research Scientists and Engineers
The Mixed Reality & AI Lab in Cambridge (UK) is a research team building the future for mixed reality. We bring innovative new technologies and experiences from early-stage research to deployment in Microsoft products. Our focus is to enable transformative new remote presence experiences that combine next-generation mixed reality hardware with AI software to improve remote communication and collaboration. The team has a diverse wealth of experience across computer vision, graphics, neural rendering, deep learning, interaction, human character animation and software engineering, and has a strong track record of shipping ground-breaking technologies in Microsoft products including Kinect and HoloLens. To get a taste of our research, see work at ICCV ’21 on neural rendering and synthetic data, or work at CVPR ’22 on human pose prediction.
The team is growing, and we are looking for talented researchers and software engineers with machine learning experience: people who love to invent and build new stuff that really works and can be deployed to millions of users. This role is an opportunity to help build the avatar motion from speech models that power Mesh for Teams as we take on the next challenge. We combine computer vision, speech and machine learning to create Presence that brings people together.
