Research Intern, Computational Imaging (PhD University Student)
(Redmond, WA) Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build
community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of
apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that
connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share
what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together.
Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand
its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams
are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to
empower people around the world to build community and connect in
meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities
- we're just getting started. Oculus is a world leader in the design of
virtual reality systems. We are currently seeking innovative research
interns with a passion for technology to develop next-generation
head-mounted display and imaging systems at our research location in
Redmond, WA. These roles are focused on developing computational imaging
methods that leverage the co-design of optical elements and image
processing algorithms. In particular we welcome Masters or PhD students
in computer science, optical engineering, electrical engineering,
physics, or similar, and a strong background in solving inverse problems
in imaging. Our internships are sixteen (16) to twenty four (24) weeks
long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
Responsibilities * Develop next-generation head-mounted display and
camera prototypes * Explore the application of computational imaging
methods to virtual reality, emphasizing the development of advanced
simulations, algorithms, and hardware capabilities * Collaborate with
the larger Oculus Research team and provide creative leadership on
computational display and imaging technologies * Publish research
results in top-tier journals and at leading international conferences
Minimum Qualifications * Currently has or is in the process of obtaining
a PhD degree or completing a postdoctoral assignment in the field of
Computer Science, Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics,
or a related field * 1+ years experience with solving inverse problems
in imaging emphasizing modeling, algorithm development, and hardware
prototyping * 1+ years experience with mathematical optimization,
including software libraries and implementation from first principles *
Demonstrated experience in optical design and modeling methods (e.g.,
proficiency with MATLAB, Zemax, Code V, or similar) * 1+ years
experience with experimental optics and conducting laboratory work
(i.e., demonstrated experience to construct proof-of-concept systems and
to evaluate performance) * 2+ years experience with scientific
programming languages such as Matlab, Python, Mathematica, or similar *
Interpersonal experience: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration *
Ability to obtain work authorization in the United States in 2018
Preferred Qualifications * Experience with C/C++, OpenGL/DirectX, and
OpenCL/CUDA * Demonstrated experience via an internship, work
experience, or widely used contributions to open source projects *
