Meta Research Scientist - Sensors in Redmond, Washington
Summary:
Reality Labs (RL) Sensors Team at Meta is helping build novel products in Augmented and Virtual Reality. Our team explores, develops, and delivers new cutting-edge sensing technologies that serve as the foundation of current and future AR/MR products at Meta. Sensors are a crucial component for enabling core features on our products such as world-locked rendering, hand, body & eye tracking, image stabilization, scene reconstruction, mapping, and health sensing.The team is composed of a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and scientists. We work cross-functionally across multiple products to deliver sensing solutions tailored for the requirements and constraints of each particular product/feature and develop platform technologies that can be reutilized across multiple products and product lines.We are looking for candidates with experience in MEMS sensor development to assist with the development of novel hardware and software systems within the RL Motion Sensors Team, while collaborating with experts across multiple domains. In this role you will lead the research, architecture, design, and prototyping of novel MEMS sensors. You will collaborate with internal and external engineering and research partners to develop sensing technologies that will help bridge virtual and real worlds.
