Meta AR/VR Job | Firmware Engineer
Job（岗位）: Firmware Engineer
Type（岗位类型）: Engineering
Citys（岗位城市）: Pittsburgh, PA
Date（发布日期）: 2023-12-2
Summary（岗位介绍）
Meta Reality Labs – Research (RLR) is dedicated to the research and development required to bring virtual and augmented reality to billions of people around the world. At the Codec Avatar lab, we aspire to a vision of social 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’re now seeking a talented firmware engineer on the Mobile Telepresence team to accelerate the progression of low-friction, authentic social presence in virtual reality. In our current pipeline, a multitude of sensing components, including image sensors, microphones, inertial management units, are installed on prototype headsets or similar apparatus in order to collect a rich suite of information that reflects the user’s physical state. This information is then processed by our state-of-the-art algorithms to allow for a computational representation of the user to be captured, transferred and reconstructed, all without the burden of a cable. All of these peripherals need to be controlled by embedded systems of our design, and it would require the support of this firmware engineer.
The ideal candidate for this position shall be familiar with the embedded software stack, principles of operations for various sensors and microcontrollers, industry-standard communication protocols, real-time operating systems; a working knowledge of electrical engineering is appreciated, and background in FPGA, wireless communication, sensory synchronization would be a bonus. The ultimate goal is to function in a multidisciplinary team with fellow engineers and researchers to deliver holistic system-level solutions that would achieve mobile telepresence.
