Meta Reality Lab (RL) brings together world-class experts to develop and ship groundbreaking products at the intersection of hardware, software, and content. We have a clear mandate to ship products at scale. In particular, seemingly impossible products that define new categories that advance Meta's mission of connecting the world. The RL Technology Engineering for Devices (TED) Team has the responsibility for taking breakthroughs in core technologies and delivering them to market at scale. The Camera and Depth Team is tasked with defining and developing Reality Labs' cameras and depth modules across all product lines. The team is seeking a seasoned experienced Depth Module Architect to help define Reality Labs' next generations of depth modules for our world-leading VR and AR products. These modules enable game-changing experiences such as Passthrough, Augmented object placements, and Smart Guardian.

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
