Job Description

Your job will be to help create and maintain state-of-the-art motion-capture systems to fuel research to create drivable virtual humans and enable human representation (Avatars/Holograms/photorealistic telepresence) for next generation VR/AR applications. We have made some important advances, but it will take a team with a wide spectrum of skills to fully realize this goal. We need to harden our systems and processes so we can repeatedly capture at high volumes. The ideal candidate is a person with demonstrated experience in the full life cycle of systems development. A qualified candidate will shatter silos by working across multiple disciplines, diverse teams, suppliers, and adopters to ensure all aspects of the project are covered.

AR/VR Capture Systems Engineer Responsibilities:

• Provide technical leadership for quality, stability and system output by monitoring system and infrastructure effectiveness
• Integrate new captures systems or changes into existing operations includes concept vetting, understanding the use case(s), impact of change, integration and test planning, verification and validation
• Lead issue review and prioritization process including designing and implementing tests, debugging and defining corrective actions
• Performs technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, risk analysis, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for total systems
• Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate stakeholder requests into hardware and software
• Collect system level requirements and drive the derivation of sub-system level requirements for new motion-capture systems
• Produce and present informal status briefings to project management
• Collaborate in a team environment across engineering disciplines.
• Travel required: maximum 15%, includes domestic and international travels
  
  

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent experience
• Experience or education in project management
• Experience working on applied research and/or product development involving joint hardware/software design, development, and integration
• Experience developing or maintaining cross-functional partnerships
• Experience in working with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Research, Product Design, etc.
• System design and test experience with one or more subsystems or disciplines outside of Systems Engineering (e.g., Electrical, Mechanical, Software, etc.)
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with software development, including scripting in Bash or equivalent language
• 5+ years of experience in a Systems Engineering or related role
• Technical experience in full life cycle development of hardware or software including design, integration, and test
• Experience building sensing systems which include cameras, depth sensors, IMUs, microphones, etc.
• Familiarity of computer and networking architectures, server development and deployment
• Experience in fault analysis or failure mode analysis
• Experience in integration planning
• Experience in systems engineering processes, system architecture principles, and/or systems integration into development program life cycle activities
• Experience taking a system from concept to deployment
