Summary（岗位介绍）
The Meta Reality Labs brings together a world-class team to create the future of AR and VR, and the metaverse, which will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. The Cameras & Depth (C&D) team gathers top-notch expertise and talent in photographic and machine vision cameras, imaging sensors, and depth, inertial, and bio sensing systems, and owns the development and validation for all these sensing systems across the whole AR, VR, and Portal product portfolios.
On the Depth Architecture team, you will work with a world-class group of researchers, engineers, and management developing the next generation of sensor and depth sensing technologies to drive industry-leading augmented reality systems. We are currently seeking innovative researchers and engineers with a passion for inter-disciplinary problem solving and technology development. This role will design, model, prototype, and validate novel depth system architectures intended to exceed the state-of-the-art for next generation consumer AR/VR applications.
This role will focus primarily on building, validating, and leveraging quantitative theoretical and empirical models that accurately describe a wide range of existing and advanced 3D sensing systems and technologies. The role will be expected to deliver quantitative analyses that drive critical technical decision making with wide product impact to system architecture, product technology assessments and selections, and technology roadmap definition; analyses will define key requirements for illumination and camera modules, optimization of associated computer vision algorithms, and estimation of depth quality and key performance indicators under expected operation scenarios.
