Image Processing and Machine Learning Engineer

Reality Labs at Meta is building products that make it easier for people to connect with the ones they love most, enjoy top-notch, wire-free AR/MR, and push the future of computing platforms. We are a team dedicated to AR and MR research and products, committed to driving the state-of-the-art forward through demonstrated experience in innovation. The potential of AR and MR to change the world is immense—and we're just getting started. The Reality Labs Silicon team explores, develops, and delivers new cutting-edge technologies that serve as the foundation of current and future Reality Labs products. From mixed reality and human interaction to natural input and beyond, the silicon team focuses on taking new technologies from early concept to the product level while iterating, prototyping, and realizing the human value and new experiences they open up. The team's mission is to develop cutting-edge image processing, computer vision, and machine learning(ML) core technologies for on-device imaging in combination with cloud computing. We are combining ML and classic algorithms to achieve product requirements.Image Processing and Machine Learning Engineer Responsibilities
