Summary（岗位介绍）
At Reality Labs Research (RLR), we pioneer research into new technologies to explore, innovate, and design user interface technologies that will drive the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are developing next generation XR interfaces that are essential to enable the Metaverse. These devices need to be soft and conformable to provide seamless user experiences, yet require high-density integration of high-performance electronics to enable all the essential functions in a wearable form factor. The Soft Wearable Technologies (SWT) team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers and engineers to address the integration and manufacturing challenges to create the future of XR interactions, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today.
As a Research Scientist Intern at RLR, you will partner with expert research scientists, hardware engineers and software developers to build groundbreaking prototypes and create the technology that makes XR universal. You will tackle interesting technical challenges in human-computer interaction to revolutionize how people interact with computing devices. Step into the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world.
Qualifications（岗位要求）
