The Reality Labs team at Meta enables people around the world to come together and connect through world-class Augmented and Virtual Reality hardware and software. With global departments dedicated to AR/VR research, computer vision, haptics, social interaction, and more, AR/VR is committed to driving the state-of-the-art forward through relentless innovation. Our teams explore, develop, and deliver new cutting-edge technologies that serve as the foundation of current and future AR/VR products. As an Embedded Software Engineer within Reality Labs, you will develop the software behind some of our flagship AR and VR products, the prototyping platforms that make these products possible, or foster our scientific explorations. You will collaborate with highly diverse teams, threading together newly developed technologies to create intuitive experiences that enhance people's experience of the world around them. Ultimately, we are improving AR/VR experiences through effective utilization of hardware resources i.e. optimization of code (app to system), balancing software across various hardware blocks, as well as designing features to enable higher utilization of hardware.
