Summary:

The perception of audio is at the center of our research, as it informs our work in spatial audio, speech intelligibility, defining audio quality, and many of the AR/VR systems. As a Research Scientist Intern on the Wearables Audio Technologies Team at Meta Reality Labs, you will be tackling the aerodynamics challenges that define cutting-edge augmented & virtual reality, conducting research at the intersection of basic and applied science, as it informs our technology directions and identifies opportunities for revolutions in our audio quality metrics and audio experiences.We are seeking a Research Scientist Intern who has a background in aerodynamics and audio technology, and is excited about doing research that helps us inform AR/VR audio requirements and metrics for new technologies. We seek out experience in one or a combination in the following areas: aerodynamics, hand-on measurement, hands-on hardware development, algorithms and applied ML/AI.What We Offer:Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AR/VR technologyCollaborative and dynamic work environmentMentorship and support from experienced researchersProfessional development and growth opportunitiesCompetitive compensation and benefits package
