Embedded Software Engineering Intern

Facebook Reality Labs is dedicated to the research and development required to bring virtual and augmented reality to billions of people around the world. At the Pittsburgh lab, we aspire to a vision of social VR and AR, where people are able to interact with each other across distances in a way that is indistinguishable from in-person interactions. FRL Pittsburgh is looking for an Embedded Software Engineering Intern to support our efforts to build state-of-the-art video and audio capture systems. In our current pipeline, a multitude of sensing components, including image sensors, microphones, and inertial measurement units are installed on the headset prototypes in order to collect a rich suite of information that reflects the user's physical state, with an emphasis on modality synchronicity and latency minimization; this information is then processed by our state-of-the-art algorithms to allow for a computational representation of the user. This role is focused on programming microcontrollers in C for embedded systems. The position requires a combination of experience in software engineering and an understanding of hardware peripherals.
