About the position

The Research Scientist Intern in Audio at Meta Reality Labs focuses on developing innovative audio technologies that enhance virtual and augmented reality experiences. This role involves designing and optimizing algorithms to solve complex audio research problems, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, and contributing to projects that aim to create virtual sounds indistinguishable from reality. The internship lasts between 12 to 24 weeks, with various start dates available throughout the year.

Responsibilities

  • Design, document, implement, integrate, and optimize novel algorithms to solve audio research problems.
  • Conduct experimental design, implementation, and execution to evaluate new audio technologies.
  • Collaborate with and support other researchers across audio and acoustic engineering disciplines.
  • Work with software engineers to seamlessly integrate, solve, or optimize research and/or algorithms.
  • Communicate research agenda, progress, and results.

Requirements

  • Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree in Acoustics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related STEM fields.
  • 1+ years experience working with wave phenomena, acoustic simulation techniques, numerical modeling, applied numerical mathematics, or physics-based modeling.
  • Coding experience in one or more languages, including C/C++ (≥ v.11), CUDA C/C++, MPI, OpenMP, Python, or MATLAB.
  • Expertise in one or more research areas: Numerical Simulation of Acoustics, Binaural Synthesis, Geometrical and/or Wave-based Room Acoustics modeling techniques, Vibroacoustics, Verification and Validation (V&V) of mathematical models.
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
