About The Position

Reality Labs Research (RL-R) brings together a highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers to create the future of augmented/virtual reality and wearable personal AI devices. The Sensors and Systems Research (SSR) team’s goal is to create ultra low power and lightweight photon-to-inference pipelines that enable all-day, always-on contextual AI. The team cultivates an open environment where individuals thrive. We encourage a sense of ownership and embrace the ambiguity that comes with working on the frontiers of research. The SSR team is looking for an Analog & Mixed-Signal Design Engineer who has comprehensive experience with designing image sensors. You'll closely partner with research scientists on designing customized image sensors, building camera prototypes and demonstrating new user experiences we aim to enable. You’ll also act as the bridge between research and product teams to ensure that the novel imaging technology we develop can be smoothly integrated into the camera subsystems of Meta’s future wearable AR/VR/AI products.
