Meta Reality Labs Research is focused on creating the future of virtual and augmented reality, aiming to make these technologies as essential as smartphones and personal computers. The audio team specifically aims to create virtual sounds indistinguishable from reality and redefine human hearing to connect people virtually and improve communication in difficult listening environments.
Requirements
- 2+ years experience working with interactive binaural audio technologies, acoustic simulation techniques, or acoustic measurements related to spatial-audio capture

- Expertise in one or more of the below research areas: Numerical Simulation of Acoustics, Binaural Audio Technology, Head Related Transfer Functions, Acoustic Propagation and Room Acoustics, Blind Acoustic System Identification, Auralization
- Experience with room acoustic simulation, auralization, or sound synthesis
- Experience with machine learning software platforms such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc
- Experience with Unity, Unreal, CryEngine, or similar game engines
- Proven track record of achieving results as demonstrated in accepted papers in top conferences or journals such as ICASSP, WASPAA, InterSpeech, JASA, JAES, etc
Responsibilities
- Design, implementation, and validation of novel algorithms to solve spatial audio research problems
- Experimental design, implementation, and execution to evaluate new audio technologies
- Collaboration with and support of other researchers across audio and acoustic engineering disciplines
- Communication of research agenda, progress, and results
Other
- Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
- Currently has, or Is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree in the field of Acoustics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related STEM fields
