Form of workReality Labs Research (RL-R) brings together a diverse and interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers to create the future of augmented and virtual reality. The Optics & Display Research team’s goal is to advance the state of the art in AR/VR optical quality, including field of view, resolution, and comfort. The team cultivates an honest and considerate environment where self-motivated individuals thrive. We encourage a strong sense of ownership and embrace the ambiguity that comes with working on the frontiers of research.As a Software Engineering leader in O&DR, you’ll architect the software systems for an advanced research development kit that will power future AR/VR experiments, allowing both internal and external teams to explore the tradespace of optical systems and display engines. You’ll partner with expert research scientists, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and a team of brilliant software minds to ensure seamless integration across hardware, firmware and software components.Ultimately, you’ll foster scientific explorations and generate viable paths to the consumer products that will connect people in meaningful ways for decades to come. Together, let’s step into the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world.
- Evaluate, design, develop, and integrate real-time software for advanced AR/VR display research development kits
- Collaborate in a diverse team environment with hardware, software, and firmware engineers to support low-level systems such as displays, optics, and tracking. Help make informed architectural tradeoffs and rapidly deliver software solutions.
- Design rock-solid interfaces and plug-and-play modules that allow developers and research scientists to easily run experiments and gather the data they need to make informed decisions
- Develop integrated software for a suite of experimental research components, bridging a variety of systems such as display engines, optical systems, tracking systems and sensors
- Build platforms, tools, and documentation that enable more efficient and effective research
- Learn constantly, educate others, build with inclusion as a core value, dive into new areas with unfamiliar technologies, and embrace the ambiguity of AR/VR problem solving
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
