Meta
Research Scientist, Imaging Systems and Image Processing (PhD)
Meta, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
Summary:
Reality Labs Research (RL-R) brings together a highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers to create the future of augmented/virtual reality and wearable personal AI devices. The Sensors and Systems Research (SSR) team’s goal is to create ultra low power and lightweight photon-to-inference pipelines that enable all-day, always-on contextual AI. The team cultivates an open environment where individuals thrive. We encourage a sense of ownership and embrace the ambiguity that comes with working on the frontiers of research.As a Research Scientist in SSR, you’ll partner with research scientists, electrical engineers, silicon engineers and others to build novel prototypes integrated with advanced AR/VR/AI devices. You’ll foster scientific explorations and generate viable paths to the consumer products that will connect people in meaningful ways for decades to come. You’ll work on a wide range of technology, from sensor design, bring up, validation to standing up prototypes and system level demonstration and exploration. Together, let’s step into the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world.
