The Reality Labs Research team working on optics and photonics research for display systems is looking for a Software Engineering Manager to join us and help bring cutting-edge augmented and mixed reality experiences to life. We are looking for a technical and people leader who has experience with one or more of the following: 3D graphics rendering, game engines, AR/MR/VR, computer vision, and optical physics.

In this role, you will lead and develop a team of software and firmware engineers working on research prototypes, simulations, and other software contributing to and accelerating research on future generations of AR and MR optics and display systems. Skillsets on the team include 3D rendering, distributed rendering, device prototyping, computer vision, generative machine learning, and optical and vision science. You will collaborate and contribute at a technical level and guide team members as well as vendors and contractors.

You will be responsible for partnering with research scientists, mechanical and electrical engineers, and designers to shape research engineering direction. You will set the software team’s roadmap. We are looking for someone with proven experience dealing with ambiguity, who exhibits a sense of ownership and enjoys an open, direct, and empathetic environment. We have many technical problems that need solutions, and we depend on people who are experienced in embracing a creative, thoughtful approach to both short and long-term problem solving.Software Engineering Manager, Reality Labs Research Engineering ResponsibilitiesMinimum QualificationsPreferred Qualifications For those who live in or expect to work from California if hired for this position, please click here for additional information.
