Job Description

Meta Reality Labs (Redmond, WA) is searching for exceptional interns to contribute to the development of next-generation eye-tracking for virtual and augmented reality. This role involves designing and implementing simulation pipelines to analyze the impact of image features on eye-tracking algorithm performance, validating experimentally, and deriving insights for hardware design optimization. You'll collaborate with researchers and engineers across diverse disciplines throughout the project lifecycle, regularly communicate research progress and results, and publish findings in top-tier journals and conferences. This internship offers a chance to work with industry-leading researchers and engineers shaping the future of AR/VR.

Must have:

PhD in Computer Science, Optics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field
Deep learning experience in computational imaging, explainable ML, or related topics
Experience with optimization or machine learning algorithms
Experience with scientific programming languages such as MATLAB or Python and experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow

Good to have:

Past experience with cross-group and cross-culture collaboration
Experimental hands-on hardware experience in computational imaging, super-resolution imaging, developing or working with custom research-grade imaging and sensing systems, hyperspectral imaging, polarization imaging, or related topics
Experience with geometric optics, physical optics, and diffractive optics, including modeling and simulation
Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by first-authored publications in journals or at conferences, etc.
