Research Engineer

At Meta Reality Labs Research, we aspire to achieve a vision of social presence in 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 are looking for exceptional Research Engineers who are excited about innovating upon research prototypes to make them well-engineered systems. You will act as a bridge between world-class researchers and engineers, collaborating together on the innovation necessary to build the foundations of social presence technology. At our lab, you will be exposed to facilities, algorithms, and data that are years ahead of anything else in existence today. We want people who work well across disciplines, are excited about getting research prototypes to really work, and are excited to work in new technology areas. Research Engineer Responsibilities Collaborate with researchers and engineers on design, development, and optimization of cutting-edge technology related to avatars, 3D audio, and 3D environments Work with the team to help design, setup, and run practical experiments and prototype systems related to large-scale long-duration sensing and machine reasoning. Build and operate complex data pipelines at scale such that data can be processed in an efficient and timely manner. Write tools and libraries to support and speed up our research such that technology can be developed and matured faster.
