Applied Research Scientist - Physics Simulations & Controls
Facebook, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
At Reality Labs Research (RL-R), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are seeking an applied research scientist and research engineer with a background in computational mathematics and physics simulation to join our team within Meta's Reality Lab Research.
As a member of our research group, the candidate will play a crucial role in developing a large-scale software library for physics simulations that will drive innovation in robotics and embodied AI applications. You will leverage your expertise in software engineering, computational mathematics, and physics simulations to design, develop, and optimize simulation tools that will enable the development of controls for embodied agents in the physical world.
