At Meta’s Reality Labs Research, our goal is to make world‑class consumer virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. Come work alongside industry‑leading scientists and engineers to create the technology that makes VR and AR pervasive and universal. Join the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world. We are a world‑class team of researchers and engineers creating the future of augmented and virtual reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers. And just as personal computers have done over the past 45 years, AR and VR will ultimately change everything about how we work, play, and connect.
We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough Smartglasses, AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain‑computer interfaces, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. The Audio team at Meta Reality Labs is looking for a software engineer to enable large‑scale collection, processing and management of the data that underpins the research & development of audio AR & VR technologies. You will support on‑site data collection activities and build tooling for data processing and management as needed, working closely with researchers and engineers building novel computational & machine‑learning systems.
