Job Description

Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started.

Come invent the future. At Facebook Reality Labs, software development is vital to turbocharging our scientific explorations and generating viable paths to the consumer products people will use for decades to come — products that will give people super powers. If you're a C++ expert with knowledge of computer vision tracking technologies, a love for solving novel problems from first principles, and an aptitude for sensor fusion, you'll thrive in our collaborative environment. Join a world-class team experimenting with breakthrough technology. There are opportunities to work on simulations, algorithms, custom sensing technology, machine learning, computer vision, optimization, digital signal processing, demos, user experiences and more. Partner with expert research scientists, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and other brilliant software minds to build cutting-edge prototypes and create the technology that makes AR/VR universal. Step into the adventure of a lifetime, as we make science fiction real and change the world.

Responsibilities

• Analyze, evaluate, design, develop, integrate, debug and test real-time AR/VR tracking systems for advanced prototypes and user experiences
• Create and implement novel real-time tracking algorithms for new sensors, integrate with existing tracking systems, implement real-time and offline telemetry, implement capture/playback systems, and implement synthetic data generation systems
• Collaborate in a team environment across multiple scientific and engineering disciplines, making the architectural trade-offs required to rapidly deliver software solutions
• Develop software for a variety of consumer devices, including novel sensing systems, tracking systems, mapping systems, imaging systems and haptic devices
• Write clean readable code, debug complex problems that span systems, prioritize ruthlessly and get things done with a high level of efficiency
