Research Scientist Intern, Explainable ML for Eye-Tracking (PhD)
Meta
Redmond, Washington
Meta Reality Labs (Redmond, WA) is looking for exceptional interns to help create the next generation of eye tracking for virtual and augmented reality. Our research focuses on true solutions to complex tracking problems, delivering novel technologies and algorithms fundamental to future VR and AR systems. You'll have the unique opportunity to work with industry-leading researchers and engineers who are defining the future of AR/VR.We welcome PhD students in computer science, robotics, optics, electrical engineering, biomedical imaging, applied physics or similar. In particular, we are looking for candidates with experience in joint hardware-software design of imaging systems, computer vision, computational imaging, geometric and diffractive optics to help us build sensor systems and develop algorithms for next generation VR and AR systems. We welcome students with a passion for working in a strongly collaborative team that spans research across algorithms, hardware design and systems prototyping. Our internships are 16 to 24 weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
