Job Description
At Reality Labs Research (RL-R), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. In this position, you will collaborate closely with a cross-functional team of engineers, research scientists, and experience designers to advance the technical readiness of novel audio technologies. You will focus on designing and integrating latest audio algorithms to AR/VR prototypes to create new experiences beyond what traditional consumer audio devices are capable of and prove their experiential value and product viability. A successful candidate will have extensive hands-on experience in the design, implementation and end-to-end verification of audio algorithms.Audio ML/DSP Research Scientist Responsibilities:
- Research and develop audio processing algorithms for communications in MATLAB, and Floating Point C/C++ languages.
- Define, develop and debug real-time audio system software for forward looking products and user experiences.
- Generate novel solutions to some of the most complex problems in audio.
- Convert audio algorithm subsystems to building blocks integrated to real-time hardware platform
- Design, develop, optimize, and debug Matlab and C implementation of real-time audio algorithms on proprietary and off-the-shelf audio hardware SoC’s.
- PhD degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
- Understanding of how end-to-end audio systems work including transducers, audio ICs, acoustics, embedded DSPs, etc.
- 3+ years of experience creating efficient real-time audio algorithms.
- Proven record of high-quality patents and publications in the field of audio enhancement, voice processing and machine learning applied to audio and signal processing.
- Experience with Neural Network frameworks such as Tensor Flow, PyTorch, etc.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience with adaptive DSP audio algorithms such as adaptive Feedback cancellation, adaptive beamforming, echo cancellation, etc.
- Experience in ML based algorithm for embedded audio applications.
- Knowledge of C++.
- Experience with algorithm optimization for low power systems with limited computational capabilities.
Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
