Systems Engineer, Calibration

Meta Reality Labs is helping more people around the world come together and connect through world-class Wearable and Mixed Reality hardware and software. We are committed to driving the state of the art forward through consistent innovation. We believe that the Metaverse and AI-first Wearable devices have an immense potential to change the world — and we’re just getting started.

Our XR Tech organization team explores, develops, and delivers new cutting-edge technologies that serve as the foundation of current and future MR and Wearables products. From blending virtual and real world experiences to natural inputs to rich virtual content generation, XR Tech is focused on taking new technologies from early concept to the product level while iterating, prototyping, and realizing the human value and new experiences they open up.

As a Systems Engineer for Calibration, you will develop calibration equipment, test and characterize it, as well as defining the calibration procedure. You will work closely with teams developing novel sensors, silicon, and integrated products to guarantee successful calibration and establish clear interfaces and quality gates. You will drive the definition of system requirements originating from calibration needs and represent this analysis within the wider organization, influencing the design of sensing and compute architectures for next generation MR and Wearable devices.Systems Engineer, Calibration Responsibilities
