Summary:

The Meta Imaging Experience Architecture (iXA) team is seeking an experienced Imaging Systems Engineer. As part of the iXA team you will have the unique opportunity to interact with the best-in-class architects, scientists, and engineers working to define the future of display. At Meta, our goal is to build products that provide optimal content reproduction for each device. Content fidelity and consistency is critical to the success of Meta devices that feature displays. To this end, we must architect pipelines that ensure that color rendering appears consistent from device to device, regardless of the display or camera and viewing conditions.Our team works on creating and programming display and camera pipelines, with an emphasis on rapid prototyping of new architectural concepts on proof-of-concept devices. Focus areas are general image processing, color transformations, tone mapping, and foveated color processing. The role requires a basic understanding of AR systems and components, and will leverage this knowledge to build display imaging systems/subsystems on prototype platforms that could eventually lead to future product insertion.

Required Skills:

Imaging Systems Research Engineer Responsibilities:

1. Interact with architecture team members to select and configure prototype devices suitable for demonstration of new display pipeline concepts

2. Implement real time display color processing pipelines using GPU, CPU/MCU, or HW resources available on prototype devices

3. Collaborate with partner teams to foster the transition of proof-of-concept technologies to eventual product insertion

4. Test and characterize new display color rendering solutions on both commercially available devices and testbed prototypes

5. Evaluate HW devices for display and wearable prototypes integration and collaborate with team members to develop system solutions for interoperating with imaging pipeline

6. Support ancillary efforts for HDR, display rendering, metrics and other topics that include color as a key feature
