The XR Eyes team is part of Reality Labs and develops and productizes cutting-edge Eye Tracking CV/ML solutions that power next-gen AR/VR devices. Our Eye Tracking solutions enable fundamental use cases and technologies in areas such as Photorealistic Avatars (Social Presence), Graphics, Display and Optics, and Multimodal UI Interaction. The team has already shipped eye-tracking solutions in the Quest Pro (2022 VR/MR headset) and Orion (2024 AR Glasses) and is working on several next generation devices across AR & MR.The team is composed of Computer Vision, Machine Learning and SW Engineers. We work cross-functionally with teams across multiple disciplines, such as graphics, optics, silicon, and sensors, to design and develop novel Eye Tracking solutions tailored for the requirements and constraints of each particular device.

Research Engineer, CV/ML Algorithms (XR Eyes) Responsibilities:

• Develop and productize new CV/ML algorithms for object detection, pose estimation, tracking
• Explore the development and deployment of foundation models to generalize Eye Tracking performance to heterogenous devices, provide supervision for smaller models, automate annotations
• Optimize models for computationally efficient inference on resource constrained (mobile) devices
• Complete medium to large features independently
• Interface with other teams, collaborate cross-functionally
• Design tools to ease debugging ML models and CV algorithms
• Proactively identify and drive changes as needed for assigned codebase, product area and/or systems
• Conduct design and code reviews
  
  

Minimum Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience working on ML algorithm development
