Meta Reality Labs is looking to solve the problem of making high-quality graphics possible on devices with significantly less compute and memory than typical mobile GPUs, to create the future of AR and VR.

Requirements

  • 1+ years of C++ experience
  • 3+ years of experience programming with high-level languages like C/C++, C-Sharp, Java, CUDA, HLSL, GLSL or Python
  • Knowledge of real-time or offline animation and/or rendering
  • Graphics experience with good understanding of key rendering concepts, such as lighting and shading, PBR materials, ray tracing, differentiable rendering, or related work
  • Deep understanding and hands-on experiences in one or more of the following: GPU design/optimization, real-time ray tracing or rasterization solutions, physics-based real-time or offline rendering, physically based materials and lighting, differentiable/inverse rendering
  • Experience with various types of 3D geometry like polygons, meshes, curves, subdivision surfaces, displacement mapping, and signed distance fields
  • Experience with modern machine learning methods with hands-on implementation experience

Responsibilities

  • Accelerate development of one or more graphics-related research projects.
  • Conceive and develop novel graphics solutions from idea to prototypes.
  • Implement proof-of-concept technical prototypes and systems that re-define the state-of-the-art visual experiences in virtual and augmented reality.
  • Learn constantly, educate others, dive into new areas with unfamiliar technologies, and embrace the ambiguity of AR/VR problem solving.

Other

  • Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree or higher in Computer Science or related field
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
  • Intent to return to the degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op
