Job Info

The Sensors and Systems Research (SSR) group at Meta Reality Labs Research (formerly Facebook Reality Labs Research) is seeking a full time Research Scientist to innovate, build, and demonstrate novel sensing and computing systems. Candidates with a track record of advancing the state-of-the-art in energy-efficient system design, SoC design, smart image sensors and sensor networks for AR/VR, IOT and intelligent applications are encouraged to apply. This is an opportunity to lead the frontier in AR/VR technology revolution, and to work with a broad range of cross-disciplinary collaborators to build next-generation human oriented compute systems.

Research Scientist, Sensors and Systems Research Responsibilities:

• Architect and design optimal solutions for end-to-end future VR/AR systems and experiences.
• Architect and design of computer vision ASIC and system SOCs, architecture fully integrated smart sensor solutions.
• Invent, propose, and experiment on hardware and algorithm co-optimization.
• Lead, advise and mentor a diversified team of optical, silicon technology, sensor, system architecture, computer vision and ML domain experts. Engage, collaborate and influence other research pillars and application teams at Reality Labs.

Minimum Qualifications:

• PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or equivalent field.
• Leadership experience in driving high risk, high reward scientific projects, including setting vision and research directions, strategic planning, and helping solving the most challenging technical issues.
• 7+ years of research experience at renown universities and research institutes at the interface with leading semiconductor companies and start-ups with the focus on energy efficient sensing and computing systems, ultra-low power ASIC and SOC architectures, software and algorithm architecture and optimization.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Track record of foundational technological breakthroughs. Track record of innovation, breaking new ground, and introducing step function changes to a particular domain of research.
• High index referred publications at peer-reviewed top tier conferences (e.g. ISSCC, IEDM, CICC, HotChips, NeurIPS, CVPR, ICML, ICCV, and ACL).
• Proven record of complex silicon chip design, tape-out and testing.
• Direct system and proven track record in sensing and image signal processing system development, specifically in the areas of machine learning hardware development and Computer Vision.
