Job Description

At Meta Reality Labs, our goal is to explore, concept, and design novel interfaces and hardware for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are driving research towards a vision of an always-on AR device that can provide contextually relevant assistance across a range of complex, dynamic, real-world tasks in natural environments. Our aim is to invent novel technologies that extend people’s capabilities. We concept, develop, and explore computational interactions that drive adaptive input and user interfaces for future AR devices. We are looking for a research engineer who can accelerate the team’s research engineering efforts.

Job Responsibilities:
• Build, test, and refine AR/VR research prototypes (e.g., VR experiences that test a new interaction technique or interface) based on the ideas of researchers
• Build and maintain software prototypes that use inputs from different device and server sources and outputs.
• Collaborate with researchers and engineers to build novel AR/VR prototypes and algorithms.
Collaborate with researchers to run experiments on prototype interactions with end-users.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
