Meta AR/VR Job | Research Engineer for Codec Avatars | Oculus
Job（岗位）: Research Engineer for Codec Avatars | Oculus
Type（岗位类型）: Research
Citys（岗位城市）: Pittsburgh, PA
Date（发布日期）: 2022-10-20
Summary（岗位介绍）
At Meta Reality Labs Research, we aspire to achieve a vision of social presence in VR and AR where people are able to interact with each other across distances in a way that is indistinguishable from in-person interactions. We are looking for exceptional Research Engineers who are excited about architecting a software platform that can capture reliably and at scale large amounts of multimodal data for the generation of photorealistic avatars. You will design and develop the foundation used by a large community of engineers and researchers to generate a photorealistic virtual reality experience. You will also be responsible for optimizing the data that is stored, that is, eliminate data redundancy and maximize the efficiency of the stored data to achieve an optimal balance between quality and storage requirements. This includes the evaluation of different strategies that delete, compress and modify fragments of data while ensuring the highest quality of codec avatars. At our lab, you will be exposed to facilities, algorithms, and data that are years ahead of anything else in existence today. In particular, the project will leverage one of the largest GPU clusters currently in existence. We want people who work well across disciplines, are excited about creating highly-reliable large-scale software systems, enabling research prototypes to work at scale, and are excited to work in new technology areas.
Qualifications（岗位要求）
BSc, MSc or PhD degree in Computer Science or a related field
