27193 Research Intern, Wireless Systems (PhD University Student) (Redmond)Redmond, WA Research Intern, Wireless Systems (PhD University Student) (Redmond) Redmond, WA Facebook Reality LabsInternship - Engineering, Tech & DesignResearch 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 and augmented reality systems. Come work alongside expert software, hardware engineers, and research scientists to create the technology that makes VR and AR pervasive and universal. Join the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world. We are currently seeking innovative research interns with a passion for technology to develop wireless systems at our location in Redmond, WA. This role is focused on topics around antenna, Radio-Frequency (RF) system, communication systems (PHY/MAC) and networking as well as novel wireless technologies to support wireless development needs taking VR and AR to the next level. The role will also include both system level analysis/simulation and lab responsibilities working through what aspects are critical to achieve the performance goals.
