Form of workMeta Reality Labs is looking for exceptional interns to help create the next generation of virtual and augmented reality. Our research focuses on comprehensive solutions to complex tracking problems, delivering novel technologies and algorithms fundamental to future VR and AR systems. You'll have the unique opportunity to work with industry-leading researchers and engineers who are defining the future of VR. In particular, Meta Reality Labs Research is looking for motivated interns for Hardware Research in eye tracking applications. Design and modeling of the hardware based 3D sensing for eye tracking. This internship architects and develops various types of hardware systems with related electrical and DSP modules. Conducts analyses, simulations, evaluations of components and the overall systems. Interfaces with various cross-functional teams such as software, firmware and testing engineers to improve hardware system solutions. Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
