Meta AR/VR Job | Research Engineer | Quest
Job（岗位）: Research Engineer | Quest
Type（岗位类型）: Engineering
Citys（岗位城市）: Pittsburgh, PA
Date（发布日期）: 2023-5-27
Summary（岗位介绍）
Reality Labs (RL) Research brings together a world-class and cross-discipline R&D team with the shared goal of developing the next generation of AR and VR experiences. In our Lab, we are revolutionizing the way we interact with each other in the era of the metaverse – in the form of a pioneering technology called codec avatars. These avatars achieve unprecedented realism, but it often demands protruding camera placement that jeopardizes the aesthetics of the headsets.
A talented research engineer is now sought after to own the algorithmic exploration into topic, determining trade-offs between placement of sensors to maximally extract information, while minimizing intrusions on headset form factors. This work involves the construction of an array of cameras, synthesis of images from the perspectives of virtually placed cameras in that envelope of rays, and inference along the algorithmic pipelines for an empirical assessment of this particular set of placements, aided by a team of hardware engineers. An ideal candidate should be passionate in these areas, while contributing to other research engineering topics around codec avatars; strong scientific coding, documentation, and interpersonal communication skills are essential.
Join us on the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world!
