Computer Vision Engineer

The Reality Labs organization is helping more people around the world come together and connect through Wearables and Virtual Reality products. With global departments dedicated to research and development in computer vision, machine learning, haptics, social interaction, and more, Reality Labs is committed to advancing the state of the art through ongoing research and development.

The potential to change the world is immense - and we’re just getting started.

Our Extended Reality Technology organization is focused on cutting-edge research and development of machine perception technologies from early concepts to production level across all of Meta products and surfaces. These include VR products, Meta Glasses, and other devices. We develop core capabilities across a range of product domains, including Avatars, Contextual, Personal, and Spatial Computing, Calibration, and more.

In this role, you will be researching and applying a range of software, computer vision, and robotic learning techniques for solving challenges that bridge virtual and real worlds and will impact billions of people. We're addressing a variety of technical challenges in the areas of real-time image processing, 3D graphics, SLAM, scene reconstruction, machine perception, visualization, and human interaction.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop novel calibration algorithms for sensors and displays
• Design and prototype automation for calibration in collaboration with mechanical engineers and prototyping technicians
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering and research teams from Meta Reality Labs in computer vision, machine learning, graphics, optics, camera hardware, manufacturing, and others
• Define projects for other engineers to achieve an impact based on your direction
• Contribute to engineering best practices: code quality, AI-assisted engineering, and technical culture within your team
